So you don't understand one of the most incredible scientific theories ever, or rather don't know anything about it - Yet you want to bring your intuition into the game and make that a factor? You're going to have a big problem with quantum mechanics then - it's not intuitive at all.

" I do believe that the theory of relativity is an excellent theory of... lots of stuff"

>_>

If you're really studying physics then you should have learnt to let go of your intuition long ago and not trust your intuitive thoughts as they arise from subjective memory.

Science doesn't evolve if you want to stick to your old theories until the very end. Until I have enough knowledge not to do so, I'm going to doubt lots of things.

A question: Isn't a lot of the theory of relativity based on the assumption that causality works, ie. cause comes before consequence? How's that about intuition? Please correct me if I'm wrong (or ignore me if you think correcting me isn't worth it :P), like I said, I only recently started my second year so I'm really at the basics right now.
