   You are probably right that natural language is not synonymous to a physical intuition. However, I believe that the way quantum theories are taught or even understood are in a much less intuitive manner than GR. Something that is evident by

   I would argue that Einstein made big leaps in knowledge to formulate SR and even more to formulate GR. He was able to imagine the motion of a body through a curved space-time as the source of gravity imo something that most people would not

   As the other reply said, in QCD you have "3 things that combine to nothing." If I had to guess why they are not so common I would say that the more variables you add in a theory the more complicated you make it. So by Occam's

   Excellent essay. The thing I do not agree with is how they mention that one has to abandon natural language to understand quantum mechanics. The only reason why we made the jump from Newton to Einstein through Maxwell's theory is Einst
