Interesting. This is how I sometimes feel about physics

The field completely appropriated and redefined so many terms of common language, that now it’s hard to talk in plain language with someone formally trained in physics about physical phenomena

For example, everyone has some sort of intuitive idea about what Energy is. But if you use that word with a physicist, watch out, for them it means something super specific within the context of assumptions and mathematical models and they will assume you don’t know what you are talking about because you are not using their definitions from their models

Same thing happens with infinite in math
