You're making my point. One needs math to explain math. A good example
is Newton's gravity equation. To understand the equation, one needs to
understand some rudimentary math but does the equation explain
gravity? Of course not. But then again your response could be
indicative of two things or both: either you're kissing Hillman's ass
or you think this is a good way to discredit me.

I know two personally and neither one of them subscribe to the chicken
feather voodoo physics that passes for science these days. I mean
voodoo Star Trek nonsense like spacetime warps, quantum computing,
parallel universes, wormholes, time travel through wormholes and
similar crackpottery.

You mean Kip Thorne, David Deutsch and Stephen Hawking are not real
people? You may have a point. 'Real mules' is more like it.

It takes an average person. The know-it-alls and the pompous asses
never get it.

Who wants to learn any physics that leads up to time travel? Sure,
crackpots and con artists like you love this sort of crap. I'll pass.
