Things you've never understood...

Yay, time for another one of Happy's random threads. :D

I've never understood why when I drive my car, I can turn left, and the car goes left, and I turn right, and the car goes right, but when I reverse, I turn left and the car goes right, and I turn right and the car goes left. :S

Lol, I'm still trying to learn the basics of driving. :S


What have you never understood?

How there was nothing before the big bang, just darkness. I get headaches when I think about it for too long. :P

I second that. Gave up on it ever since in year10, I got full marks on the biology and chemistry unit tests, and got a C+ on the physics one, hence explaining my broken asian 5 subject set :]

there wasn't even darkness :)
Every conceivable theory/concept/fact breaks down at the moment of the big bang. If the big bang was the beginning of time, then asking what happened before it is a meaningless question. Its a bit like asking what's north of the north pole.

I've never understood why when I drive my car, I can turn left, and the car goes left, and I turn right, and the car goes right, but when I reverse, I turn left and the car goes right, and I turn right and the car goes left. :S
try to think of it as aiming the back of the car... if you want the back of the car to go left you steer left. then it makes sense :)



Why do i procrastinate so much?

you bastard.. you beat me to it!

haha but yeh.. people understand the formulation (only those hardcore dudes, though haha) but no-one truly understands the core or causes behind such.

It's like a lot of branches of physics.. i.e we can describe gravity and make very accurate predictions - yet we don't understand the fundamental nature of it.

Thirded.

I am simply unable to comprehend most (or any) concepts in physics, although quite a few people have tried to explain them to me.
