I read abstracts of papers on the nature of gravity, space-time, etc., and
sometimes books or complete papers.  I am fascinated by
mathematical/physical singularities (what lies between tan 90-e and
tan 90+e degrees as e approaches 0 and the like).  I understand much and I
understand that my understanding has limits - one of those limits is the
way cat brains work.  I remind you of the Four Noble Truths - the third
Truth asserts that through the elimination of craving, suffering can be
brought to an end.
