What does "make sense" mean?
I don't think we can have an argument about whether we can generate a description of the universe that agrees with reality until we agree on what "making sense" means in the first place.
- chillacy 12y agoNot OP, but I would think it that things make sense when they can be intuited. It's amazing how much we can intuit–people figure out orbital mechanics with enough time playing KSP. Then there are things which we cannot imagine intuitively, like 5-Dimensional hypercubes, but we can describe them in math quite easily.
