While I haven't exactly studied general relativity in a formal way I've attended quite a few talks on it by cosmologists and the like.
I was an astronomy major at Caltech, but switched to Physics when I realized I prefer to build telescopes rather than look through them. Astronomers don't build telescopes; Opticians do that. However Physicists commonly build their own experimental apparatus.
I've spent years trying to diagnose it. I've got some theories but nothing conclusive. It seems to help if I do something like:

Stop making embarrassing excuses and just read the article.
Tonight's activity leads me to believe my cyberstalking friend from Kuro5hin has finally turned up.
It's hard to say, he's generally anonymous.
Regular users voted you down because you backed controversial claims by appeal to authority or your education.
Also, you wrote comments without reading the article, which is usually considered bad here.
I can see the problem when I do a traceroute.
Oddly she is completely cool with using webmail from cybercafes - she travels quite a lot.
Mom isn't stupid, she only acts that way.

There is no reason to drag your mother's beliefs into this. Simply stop at "I don't have good internet access." All else is needlessly placing the blame or shifting the focus elsewhere ... that being your willingness to completely ignore the topic and instead name-drop your own history, connections to authority, and personal beliefs - even when they have no basis in fact.
Opthalmologists diagnose and treat disease of the eyes. An optometrist can perform an opthalmological exam but cannot prescribe medicine nor practice eyeball surgery.
optician ɒpˈtɪʃ(ə)n/Submit nounBRITISH a person qualified to prescribe and dispense glasses and contact lenses, and to detect eye diseases ( ophthalmic optician ) or to make and supply glasses and contact lenses ( dispensing optician ). US a dispensing optician.
There are some good reasons one requires a professional prescription from eyeglasses; if you wear the wrong lenses for any length of time, it can screw up your eyesight. Although the effect is commonly temporary it _can_ be debilitating.
So a dispensing optician would be someone who sells eyeglasses, given a prescription from an optometrist or an opthalmologist.
It is quite definitely the case that opticians make telescopes. From time to time I call myself an astronomical optician. I don't grind glass much anymore but I am quite good at making astronomical telescope optics.
