It is a good demonstration of the limitations of our own thought. We understand new concepts in terms of familiar concepts. If there is no direct analogy to something familiar, the human mind is utterly lost and has to trust in rigorous analysis while only half believing what it proves.

The universe is under no obligation to be understandable to the bits of it that can think. In many ways it's a wonder we've got as far as we have.
