Geometry Fields in Laymens Terms

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the importance of explaining complex concepts in layman's terms, emphasizing that clarity is crucial for understanding. This approach is highlighted by a quote from Albert Einstein, which underscores the idea that if a concept cannot be simplified, it indicates a lack of deep understanding. The conversation also touches on various branches of geometry, suggesting that each field could benefit from simplified explanations to enhance comprehension among those without specialized knowledge. The mention of resources like dictionaries and Wikipedia indicates a practical approach to learning and understanding these complex subjects.

The concept of describing something in layman's terms has come into wide use in the English speaking world. To put something in layman's terms is to describe a complex or technical issue using words and terms that the average individual (someone without professional training in the subject area) can understand, so that they may comprehend the issue to some degree.

Albert Einstein said: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

You don't have to complete the entire thing , it's unrealistic just tell me what you know about one of the subjects - A definition will be updated beside the fields name

Thanks :)

Albert Einstein was also not above doing the work to find out something he didn't know.

I suggest a dictionary and/or Wikipedia.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
