Actually a really easy way to say what I just did is this....

Before July 4th it costs $500 for a hot dog and $1 for a PS3. After July 4th it costs $1 for a hotdog and $500 for a PS3. Now if you don't know that there was a cost switch over you will be completely confused by someone talking about the purchase of those items before July 4th.


This is sort of similar to how scientists couldn't understand what the evidence was telling them when looking at the earliest portions of the big bang models.

In a way the laws of physics are dependent on the properties of the space they are being affected on. And essentially, using the analogy, the costs of the hotdog and PS3 determine the properties of the space....which as I said determine the laws of physics for that space.

So understanding the price of the hotdog and PS3 at the time of the events you are trying to understand is fundamental to understanding how and why things happened.  

PS - If that made even less sense then I think I am just done trying lol, some people aren't meant to be teachers =P

Edit: edited to help clarify some

PS - If this made no sense someone at least say so, and I would really appreciate if you could specify which part ..even if its "all of it".  The reason I ask is because I want to review it to see if 1) I can make it more clear and 2) I didn't get something wrong.
