If its 6:40 my clock doesn't display 06:40 so...

Thought experiments are as old fashioned as oil paintings but they still have value. They may appear simple but require a different way of thinking. Albert Eienstien's simplest thought experiments revealed an entirely new way to see gravity and time. trust me they are simple.

Looking at something through the lens of a single discipline is inferior to looking through many disciplines. There is an old saying 'jack of all trades and master of none'. Few if any are masters of all trades. So most of us just do the best we can with deficits, over thinking it and our training/bias.

                   I find complexity that is true but unintuitive is sometimes a warning that I'm looking at an incomplete understanding.
But that too could be wrong since translating a concept into language or math is tricky. :^? More and more I'm being told reality is just a fuzzy probability at its core.
for example;
I'm looking at the recent 'glowing donut' radio telescope composite picture of our black hole Saggitarious A star and they say the black center is not the black hole itself but only its shadow. I'm not sure I get what they mean by 'shadow' although I get that light is being drawn inward. Maybe I get it maybe I don't. Its fuzzy.
