Findaer on Discord asks, What is something that you’ve heard repeatedly is very difficult to understand but for you it comes rather easily? Conversely, what is something you’ve heard is really easy but you find it rather hard to understand?

The thing I’ve never had a problem with was nuclear physics, that being the mathematics and physics of the nucleus, isotopes, radioactive decay, etc. I took a graduate-level class when I was studying geology, and I aced the course. To me, it was much easier than something like organic chemistry, which is far more complicated.
