That's okay. I mean these are Big topics. It's taken our species millions of years of slowly building up to this point right now that we have the understandings we do of them.
It's not easy. For anyone. Not for you, Not for me. Not for Einstein.
We're not born innately knowing this, we're educated about it. If they are concepts that we find interesting, perhaps we consider them. It's only through this education and consideration, not just the education itself, that we come to understanding.
Not everyone has the time or inclination to consider these topics, and that's okay.
But for those that do, understanding will grow in some type of correlation between the interactions of the education and your consideration of.
Ask for analogies, they're great tools of abstraction. It takes these difficult concepts out of the realms of mathematics, and puts them squarely into terms we can better understand, everyday language. Math is important, but if it's not a language spoken by us, it's not helpful.
Einstein's brilliance was never that he was a great mathematician. It was his ability to break down very complex thoughts into stories he could understand.
