just a thought

or however that dang word is written! : ) Use this forum to discuss those things that are related to, directly, or indirectly, fly fishing, i.e., tackle, catalogs, single malt scotch, cigar preferences, pipes, camera gear, etc. This is sort of an off topic area but one related to bamboo and fly fishing.

Mmm-hmm. Simplify, but don't don't dumb it down.

Not really. Sometimes the simplest explanation is not simple at all. Since Einstein was invoked, let's consider Einstein's crowning achievement, the General Theory of Relativity, summarized in the Einstein Field Equations.

On first sight, they do look simple--just three brief terms. But their simplicity is due to the extremely efficient notation in which they are expressed, which Einstein invented. If you actually tried to write them out in complete detail, in complete generality, they would take many pages of algebra. See https://profoundphysics.com/einstein-fi ... -expanded/.
