I wonder if at one point or likely one age you will never be able to gain an intuitive grasp on some subjects.
I think not only of subjects like higher-level math and physics, but also language skills, like chinese or japanese for a lifelong western speaker.
on the other hand, I wonder if some subjects might be easier without baggage, like having a lifetime of newtonian physics, then learning relativity or quantum physics.
