explaining /sci/ in /tg/ what was I thinking? So I am curious /sci/ what do you do to best explain scientific concepts to people who clearly don't get it?

If they're not actually studying the topic? Find a familiar analogy that isn't *total* bullshit.

Well, first off, if you can't explain it in simple enough terms then you don't understand it yourself.

pointless to do this.
They will poke holes in your shitty analogy that aren't present in a mathematical argument, and their retardation will just be reinforced.

That's something they tell to dumb people, it's not actually true, as anyone with any sort of education will tell you.

Ok so tell me how to explain the Higgs Boson in simplest terms that an undereducated guy would understand.

>ya can't
Now if you told me that and I was in a class full of geologists I would agree, there is just a point though when you can't explain things to everyone, or even half the people in a room.

I'm a bit curious how you would explain the Higgs Boson to anyone. Gonna grab some popcorn. Can you please explain this thing to me? Pretend I can understand any technical information you throw in.
