In my experience, it’s actually the other way around: physicists can think in terms of equations, without having to visualize them. I generally can’t do that myself - I would get frustrated at talks where the presenter just had slide after slide of equations but some people could read those slides the way I read ordinary English text.

Studying quantum loop theory lets you ride rollercoasters. If anyone asks if it’s helpful, call them silly and tell them maybe.

That’s why you get a theoretical degree in physics

What the heck is actually going on in that first photo? I assume he’s not about to be concussed.
