Zach Fisher on Nostr: Why should the fundamental laws of Nature be so that one cannot explain them to a ...
Why should the fundamental laws of Nature be so that one cannot explain them to a high-school student – but only to a quite advanced graduate student in physics? And we claim they are simple! In what sense are they simple? Because we can write them in one line. But it takes 8 years of college education to understand the symbols. Is there any simple ideas in the laws?
