"A fracton is a collective quantized vibration on a substrate with a fractal structure." I think that's the most confusing grammatically correct sentence I've ever read. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.161.104.6 (talk) 03:47, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Complexity

This article is overwhelmingly jargon. If you are not a physicist already conversant with the subject it makes no sense whatsoever. Our most accomplished physicist, Richard Feynman (a great teacher himself) once said that if you could not explain something such that a sophomore could understand it, it's because you don't understand it yourself. Basically, he was saying that regardless of the complexity of a subject, even in such an abstruse field as physics, fundamental concepts can be expressed in a manner comprehensible even to the intelligent layman. Respectfully, I feel the article should be recast with a view that this is an encyclopedia for the general public, not a textbook of physics.Cd195 (talk) 19:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
