I was brought up to believe that there was nothing understandable that a normal person (i.e. for my purposes, me) could not understand, given sufficient effort. Hence my frustration that over the years I haven't been able to get my head around even the basics of quantum physics. There are people out there who are unlocking the secrets of the universe - the law of everything, so they say - and I don't get it. This makes me a sucker for those books which claim to explain it all in comprehensible layman's terms. Yes, I read the "Brief History of Time", and, I suspect like everyone else, understood almost nothing.
