Science is not difficult.
It is simply unwilling to be brief.
Most confusion arises from assuming the universe is trying to be helpful.
Everyday physics is the study of things you did not consent to learn.
Lids, corners, and containers are treated as suggestions.
Liquids demonstrate governance by committee.
Solids insist on paperwork. Gases refuse to sign at all.
Scale is the oldest prank in nature.
The same rules apply to planets and peas—just with different levels of panic.
And when results appear “intuitive,” be wary.
That is usually the math hiding.
“Of course science is complicated; That wont stop me from explaining it”
“Of COURSE water takes the shape of it’s container; You want a CUBE of water to fit in a round glass?!”
“There are more hydrogen atoms in a SINGLE water molecule than stars in our ENTIRE solar system.”
