I have been told by physicists that it is.
But even if I could understand it, do you really think someone with an IQ below 100 could? Trust me, as a college professor I know that you need an above average IQ to have a good understanding of even calculus. So I can't imagine that the math behind quantum physics is accessible to over 50% of humanity.
Consider the signaling incentives they have. Do physicists look better or worse if the math they do is seen as harder or as easier?
Contrariwise, I (like many people here) associate mostly with very smart people, so greatly overestimate average intelligence.
