About the Einstein equation : quite impossible to "grok" it.
Quite hard maybe. I doubt it is impossible. How would you know,
anyway? Did some messenger from an alien race tell you that our
brains are just too small, as you slept?

Brains can be linked via communication channels into meta-brains.

As I already said, I see it is but half the story: there is lots of
interesting physics in E = 0, so we have to grok exactly what aspects
of spacetime are constrained by T, and which are free.

How constricted some people are in their speech. I had no idea I
sounded old fogeyish using "grok", but if somebody had asked about
"digging" or "being hep to" the Einstein equation, I would, in the
back of my mind, hear the archaic slang, but in the front of my mind I
would hear the question about physics. So let me rephrase my original
question: how can we be hep to the jive in the Einstein equation?

I wish I hadn't said anything. "Grok" is a perfectly all right term.

We tried to explain that, but foggy does not understand.
