Someone can explain to me why a neutron star functions the way it does, but I cannot detect one using calculations and advanced technology. That's the difference to me.

Very similar boat.

I love the hell out of learning about space and all that stuff you read in science reports and news articles and what have you, but there's no way in hell I'd be able to even begin to understand the complexity of what went into making these amazing discoveries. I just love learning about that stuff... just don't ask me to do the leg work.
