If math is so fucking complicated... Well, have you ever stopped to think: Hmmmm. Maybe it is TOO complicated? Maybe, just mayhapsly, this is a bad thing and not a good thing?
Science is outpacing evolution. People have to attend school for 20+ years just to reach a level of being able to read 100 year old discoveries. It's simply not sustainable.
Maybe it's time to stop and think about that. Like it's time to refactor your code. It's smelly, and full of bugs and poor documentation and legacy. You need to make things more simple. Actually improve how things are formulated and communicated, or there simply won't be any healthy brains left by the time they have the knowledge necessary to contribute further.
That's by the way the real reason you should be able to explain something to a 5 year old.

It is possible that something is made too complicated for the sake of complication but the goal of math is to simplify, it is because you approach math from a bad angle through normal education where you are forced to eat shit for 4 years in university and learn a bunch of random math that you will never use
but math is reality simplified to an equation right?

why do so many mathfags think abstract = simple?

Because midwits judge the simplicity of a thing by the amount of cognitive load it requires of them. Which is obviously nothing if they've internalized a symbol for it.

>You need to make things more simple
Simplicity is highly appreciated in math and just about any field of science. There are monetary rewards for coming up with alternative, simpler proofs to already solved problems.

That is a well known but little discussed problem.

Not sure when it will be generally felt.

Simple enough to explain to a five year old means it's still too complicated to explain to a nigger

They should do the same for physics.
>Look we invented a mysterious matter that's invisible and undetectable and can be dialed up and down everywhere to make sure our observations fit our theory. We know it have to be there because without our unobservable hand-of-god-fudge-factor observations look wrong.

>Dark matter isn't real and the theory is wrong. Fix it janny.

The math of reality is super complicated, this is proven by how much super giga ai supercomputers helped solve protein folding stuff and fluid dynamics:
Mathematics before computation and simulation was attempting to wrap head and hand around this, imagine drawing describing this entire video out using only pen and paper:
