incomprehensibles
Things defying grasp
Things that cannot be understood or grasped by the mind.
The term often appears in religious or philosophical contexts, referring to mysteries beyond human comprehension: the incomprehensibles of divine nature.
In casual use, it can describe anything too complex or abstract to follow: He lost me in a tangle of incomprehensibles.
