So whatever nature the Universe follows, so does man.
Sure, but that doesn’t mean that humans are able to understand nature in a way that relates to them, at least not on all levels. We weren’t built for large and small scales, our brain is only intuitively familiar with human scales. A second to a century. One millimeter to 100 kilometer. A few centimeters per day to a few dozen kilometers per hour.
I don’t think intuitiveness should be a deciding factor when it comes to describing nature.
- omarchowdhury 15y ago"Doesn't mean that humans are able to understand.." I guess all of the work in physics, chemistry and other sciences of the past thousands years was all in delusion? Nothing was learned, nothing.
- ugh 15y agoYou are missing half a sentence there. It looks like humans are very capable of understanding non-human-scale nature, just not intuitively.
