[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 1593874, member: 177"] We may have a difference of definitions here, but at the moment, as stated, I have to strongly disagree with that statement. Some ideas take zero time and energy to think or comprehend. Others take a great deal of time and energy. For my example, I turn to the realm of science. It was said, at one time, that only three people really understood Einstein's General Relativity Theory. This was, in essence, true. But it wasn't because nobody had read it. It wasn't because nobody knew the math required. It was because, even given knowledge of the math, and a copy of the text, the thing was (and still is), darned hard to grok. Even with the simplest expression of the theory known to man, and full facility in the language in which it that expression is written, it takes effort. And quantum mechanics is worse. Even today, it is commonly agreed by those who knowit best that if anyone tells you they fully understand quantum mechanics, they are lying to you. :) [/QUOTE]
