Not much. I have worked through a few technical books
on general relativity a long time ago. I can follow the
calculations. As a refresher I recently read a few books again.
So apart from what I have learned there I don't know much
about them. I don't make a living with them.

I have read one little non-technical article about the BEC,
so I can't answer the question. I don't even understand it.

So what if they are cleverer? There is no problem when person
X knows that he cleverer than person Y.
I have nothing against dumbness or stupidity. Some of my best
friends are dumb and stupid. In the eyes of cleverer people I
must be stupid as well. But I don't take an arrogant stance
against those who are smarter. When they tell me something I
don't understand, I don't tell them that they must be wrong.
The arrogance factor is essential for that little collection on my
site. If you find an entry that does not qualify and if you can
convince me, I will remove it. I have removed entries before.
