After one takes a course in mechanics, everything is explained and well
understood. But after you get your hands on the quantum teleportation,
trasactions and even the super-string theories, things get quite
complicated. For example, QED theory helps us understand indterations
b/w charged particles. But the more one knows, the more it becomes
obvious that he knows less. What makes the universe tick? What makes up
energy? What is spacetime? No one knows the answer to these questions
and this is just a couple that one starts to asks himself after knowing
something about the universe. If one is ignorant, these questions never
arrise. So I have to disagree with you, the more you know, the more
complicated things get. :)
