Easier Explanations

I realise there’s a whole lot of stuff on this site that may not appeal to people who don’t like science or mathematics. I’ve tried to keep the explanations accurate to avoid any misunderstandings that may occur because of generalisations. So on these pages I intend to describe things very much more simply whilst hoping to preserve as much accuracy as possible.
