> I think there is a certain 'magic' in not understanding certain concepts fully. It's probably why I like maths and heavily dislike physics and chemistry.

This doesn't make sense to me. Math are things that humans can understand fully, physics and chemistry are not, at least not yet. Things like "the volume of a sphere is 4/3PIr^3" can be fully understood, there are many ways to derive that formula. Of course you can apply it without understanding it, but the same goes for newtons equations or any of the many other formulas you have in physics and chemistry.
