Even if the person I asked had knowledge enough in the field to answer this, I'm not sure I could understand it enough to retain any of it. I don't even understand todays batteries.

Imagine if someone from the 1920s asked you such a question. What would you explain? What frame of reference could they have to understand the answer?

I could certainly explain enough for them to invest in the right stocks.
