Scientists don't always understand what they can describe mathematically
Do you really think you can understand quantumphysics because you can describe it mathematically? Do you believe that a scientist can grasp the idea of spacetime because he can name it? What 'a ripple in the fabric of space and time really means? A Big Bang or a singularity can be understood by your professor, because he can talk about a moment when 'space and time came in existence'? We, laymen, see that these scientists are using difficult terms and complicated math. We see that they are playing with concepts like time, infinity and singularities. And the more complicated the math and the more exotic the terms, the more we understand that the scientists actually don't know what kind of phenomena they are describing here.
We, laymen, know, in our harts, that they cannot really grasp it when they can only quote the mathematical equations and nothing more.
