Feynman’s insistence on ordinary language recalls the statement attributed to Einstein about not really understanding something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.
It is equally useful for testing the claims of others. If someone cannot explain something in plain natural language, then we should question whether they really do themselves understand what they profess….
In the words of Feynman, “It is possible to follow form and call it science, but that is pseudoscience.”
Choose any of the currently espoused
'theories' and:
a). Attempt to visualize what is claimed to be happening, and
b). Attempt to describe the ideas in natural language without the aid of mathematics.
