This evening I'm watching the History Channel's Program on Multiple Universes. I was bound and determined to comprehend it all. I was good at the understanding of Level One.. and level Two.. then level Three.. until they then wrapped the Uncertinty Theory around it! That's when I became Lewis Black (comedian). I found myself contorting my face and hands into his characteristic display of angst and I asked WHY????? WHY????!!! I was just beginning to be CERTAIN!!

Yeah that is the kind of thing that pushes the limits of human imagination.

That kind of special's like the joke in engineering classes...there's an equation on the page and then the author goes "After some trivial math" and spits out the solution. The "trivial math" is, oh, a page long! If you get a running start at uncertainty theory (it's covered in conceptual modern physics classes) it's easier to handle.

It's simular to math/physics textbooks - I'd get one for a class, look at the stuff in the back and go "hell no, I'll never understand that!" But learning all the stuff leading up to it made it easy at the end.
