What don't I understand in Science?. Well almost everything. But if I had to pick one thing, Cohl Furey did some great videos on Youtube about Octonions and Particle Physics. I really wish I understood more about that.

"Baffles" is probably not the right description, but octonion mathematics is strange. The thought of trying to reason in a maths where (A x B) != (B x A) and (A x B) x C != A x (B x C) fascinates me.
