I get what he means
I'm not particularly stupid (shut up Chompy) but the more in depth science gets the less I understand it. I just can't comprehend it. I know how it should work and I get what it means when I read about it, but I can't comprehend it.

dimensions are the classic.
maths operates in an infinite number of dimensions and we can only visualise three. So unless you can switch off from visualising in three dimensions you're basically fucked.

It doesn't help when people go "oh, but time is the fourth dimension" ...it is and it isn't. Not it any way that we normally associate with time.

I think people can grasp bits
but not all of it. I was pretty interested in the whole concept of dimensions a while back and it never really blew my mind in the way some scientific concepts did

physics and maths interpretations of dimensions are different, too.
only the same, as well. It's quite fucked up.
