> This is the greatest level of knowing you can have. No, the greatest level of knowing is having an explanation for why a gyro behaves the way it does. > For me, even the fact that my smartphone is performing billions of calculations every second is non-intuitive. Doesn't mean I don't know how it works. But imagine if your smartphone was of alien manufacture, and you lived in a world of exclusively analog technologies. Scientists and engineers could come to accurately predict your smartphone's behavior, and certainly a mathematical formalism could be given for it, but they wouldn't understand the physical basis for the billions of calculations it performed. It would be a big mystery until physics advanced enough to understand how the circuitry worked.
