Ever notice how physics is just a dog balancing on cans of math? That's higher education in a nutshell. You spend years learning calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra just to understand why a ball falls down. Then some professor casually mentions "string theory" and suddenly you're a dog wearing a tin foil hat, standing on wobbly cans of increasingly complex mathematics that nobody at the party actually understands. But we all nod thoughtfully anyway because questioning it might reveal we're intellectual frauds. The greatest physics discoveries always start with "I have no idea what's happening, but it seems important!"
