As far as I'm concerned, if something is so complicated that you can't explain it in 10 seconds, then it's probably not worth knowing anyway.

About This Quote

Albert Einstein was a genius. He was a theoretical physicist whose work is still being used today. In his later years, he also became an advocate for human rights. One of the things he had a hard time with was how to explain some of his theories.

In fact, some people who heard him do so had trouble understanding what he was saying. In fact, one person even commented that Einstein's theories were so complicated that you had to be either a genius or dumb to understand them. In this quote, Albert Einstein says that if something is so complicated that you can't explain it in 10 seconds, then it's probably not worth knowing anyway. This is an important lesson we should all learn: we all have our own ways of doing things and we all understand things in our own way.

If we can't explain them in 10 seconds, they probably aren't very important anyway.
