Concepts are the result of human understanding. You can see it even in the words themselves.
Although there may be some concepts that contain a paradox that we cannot resolve. For example, such a concept is dimensionless.
May the author forgive me, but I will reformulate the question for greater clarity — What concepts are beyond common sense? If the meaning of the question is not distorted, then the answer is obvious — all quantum mechanics, elementary particle physics, field theories, quantum electrodynamics and chromodynamics, the theory of gravity, etc. To work with them, special languages (mathematical methods) have been created — wave equations, tensor analysis, operator algebra, Feynman diagrams, and much more – which predict the observed data with mathematical accuracy, but are practically inexplicable from the point of view of common sense. The most relevant, well — known and yet unexplained of such concepts that go beyond common sense is the behavior of quantum entangled particles, the discussion of which is also filled with this resource TQ.
A person understands – relatively well-only a very small list of the simplest everyday concepts. Even here, a lot of mistakes are made. That's why people don't understand each other very well.
A deep understanding of even the simplest and especially complex scientific concepts is achieved only by a huge amount of work – very long reflection, study, and application.
For some reason, everyone clung to the words “concept”, “understanding”.�
For example, I was immediately alerted by the word “human”. What does this mean? The average person? Any (every) person? Or at least one of the people? I would also replace the word ” concept “with” question “or”area of knowledge”.
I believe that at least one of the people can understand any significant issue (an area of objective / verifiable knowledge).
I believe that no human being will ever find an exhaustive truth about truth(the subject of philosophy), nor be able to rigorously prove the existence of life after death (other than inheritance), or the existence of God. And in other areas that are a figment of the imagination.�
Finally, I believe that the average person uses only a superficial, associative-intuitive understanding, unable to make a single worthwhile discovery that would not have been made earlier.
There are no such concepts due to the very specifics of thinking. If the concept was created as a result of thinking, then it is accessible to understanding. Like, if a tree grew up in a forest, then it's already a forest itself )
There are a huge number of concepts that are inaccessible to the understanding of a particular person. This only means that this person needs to expand the boundaries of their understanding.
There are concepts that are inaccessible to the imagination. For example, the embodiment of the physical “string theory” is impossible to imagine, although it is possible to understand: however, this understanding is available to an extremely narrow circle of people…)
Finally, there are categories that cannot be understood within the framework of verbal thinking, that is, within words. They can be “understood” only by going beyond words, beyond verbal understanding, and making L. Wittgenstein turn over in his grave ) These include, for example, the famous Zen koans, as well as the term “dimensionless” mentioned in this thread )
