[A chart with the Y-axis titled "How Philosophically Exciting the Questions Are to a Novice Student" and the X-axis titled "How Many Years of Math are Needed to Understand the Answers". The upper-right portion of the chart is labeled "Danger Zone". The following topics are charted as follows:
Basic Physics: low excitement, low prerequisites
Fluid Dynamics: low excitement, high prerequisites
Magnets: medium excitement, medium prerequisites
General Relativity: medium excitement, high prerequisites (on the border to the "Danger Zone")
Special Relativity: high excitement, low prerequisites
Quantum Mechanics: high excitement, high prerequisites (in the "Danger Zone")]
