    People keep explaining like it’s a huge surprise.

    I think I am technically a physicist so this could be a case of xkcd 2501 but it seems obvious enough.

    Surely nobody actually believes that is how it works. I think I understood it that way and was mind blown for like 5min before being sceptical and asking for clarification and still being mind blown by how it was actually meant. I was a child when that happened.

    All the adults I’ve spoken to about it learned about it school and understood straight away. That is of course completely biased though.
