I'm not bright enough to shoot you down,lol. My problem seems to be one that a lot of people have,when discussing physics. My(our) brains are so visually oriented that I have a heck of a time responding to any sort of problem that I can't draw an accurate,representative picture of. This works well for run of the mill engineering problems,and in fact,it's a trait that's advantageous. When the problem moves to a more speculative realm though,and time dilation effects and other weird things that go bump in the night come into play,it's a factor that is seriously limiting.(I start thinking about witchcraft and voodoo and all kinds of other stuff at this point,lol)
