I never understood why people don't dig Relativity Theory, Quantum Theory, and Thermodynamics!
Ey man, I grokked relativity when I was 7 years old.
It's like, discovering the principle and developing the math took Albert Einstein, but once it was there, it was easy peasy stuff!
It's like this:
You can hop on a light(ning) fast race car and have real fun, and get somewhere fast, but in those 15 minutes your mom gets like 10 years older. That's Special Relativity, because there are other ways for your mom to get older fast too!
Then you get a girlfriend, and she eats chocolates and chips and dip like a Black Hole and she kinda like freezes in time watching TV, while you get old really fast watching her get bigger every day, and your bank account smaller every day, and that's General Relativity, because that is what generally happens.
And quantum theory (that is part 1, part 2 is here) is only weird, when you insist on having a stiff brain! It's like, you get a hard-on, and then there is a probability distribution of the different places where you can put it, but you don't know where you stuck it, until you're done!
And thermodynamics? Big deal - it's like you gotta put more charcoal on the grill to cook your veggie-burgers. Then they are done, and you put them on a plate on the table, and the grill fire dies. So now the neighbour's damned dog steals the burgers, and you wanna cook more burgers, but the charcoal is all gone and used up! And that's called entropy, it leaves you hungry, without burgers, a dead grill, a grinning smart ass dog that farts on his way back through the fence, and that's all there is to thermodynamics!
Jokes aside, here is the real scoop!
A scientific theory is NOT "just a theory", because a scientific theory is REALITY as we can see and prove it! People always confuse "theory" and "hypothesis". A hypothesis is an intelligent speculation, which turns into a theory when it is proven to be real!
A scientific theory always stands, as long as it cannot be proven to be false. That also means, it needs a construct that can be examined and tinkered with, to see, if it breaks. When something is impossible to examine, and cannot be proven wrong for lack of a mathematically sound description, it is not a valid theory, but some hokey-pokey spooky belief, like unicorns, gods, and divine flying hot-dogs!
When somebody can prove a theory is wrong in experiment and mathematics, or comes up with a better idea about how something works, AND can actually prove it, the theory is then overhauled or replaced. That does not sit well with people, who base their lives on "beliefs", but that is just tough stuff, so deal with it!

Grok may be the only English word that derives from Martian. Yes, we do mean the language of the planet Mars. No, we're not getting spacey; we've just ventured into the realm of science fiction. "Grok" was introduced in Robert A. Heinlein's 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land. The book's main character, Valentine Michael Smith, is a Martian-raised human who comes to earth as an adult, bringing with him words from his native tongue and a unique perspective on the strange, strange ways of earthlings. "Grok" was quickly adopted by the youth culture of America and has since peppered the vernacular of those who grok it, from the hippies of the '60s to the computerniks of the '90s.
