In chosing between Fester Chugabrew and Newton ("If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. "), I'll go with Newton.
Surely you are not saying one must have detailed technical knowledge of an entity to enjoy its benefits, are you? I don't have to know the speed of light to enjoy its benefits either. But when someone tells me the speed of light is 186,000 mps I have at least two choices: 1.) accept the statement at face value, trusting this individual did the work to find out (which work did not come easily to those who finally determined the speed of light); or 2.) accept or reject the statement after doing the research and experiments myself. Apparently it is only the latter type of people who inhabit your planet.
Based on my current reading of physics and the nature of light, science hasn't answered all the questions, and this is a currently observable process. What kind of egotistical fool would expect every student of science to accept a hopeful rendition of history as factual when even the current universe remains largely unexplained?
Don't answer. I already know. I post to them on a regular basis.
