Science kind of needs explaining, even to the most hardcore scientists. There was always a time where we didn't get it, and it had to be placed before us in simpler terms to be able to see it. I'd argue that the greatest scientists, Einstein and them, actually had to be far more creative than intelligent; because they had to be able to see or visualize these things in order to go ahead and try to think on them and prove them.
I get it, because someone explained it to me like that once. And science is far more exciting when you get it, and understand where it can take you... and I'm babbling again aren't I?
