Yes I read about it.
The stuff is very difficult for me.
Quantum mechanics is also very difficult.
The big and the small end of Physics are tough
for things like us in the middle.

It really is just modeling based on some data
and lots of math. It is very counterintuitive to
our everday analogies. So much so that it is
given names that very often innaccurately portray
what the physicists are actually trying to get across.

As an example:
The word Wave in Physics is a very difficult concept.
It seems easy enough, water, waves, but E-M waves
are so much different. But its the best description...

acchhh its kind of like just naming phenomena automatically messes
up the real idea. I dont know if that makes any sense but it
does to a biochemistry guy turned physics teacher.
