Why Intuition Fails Us

Intuition feels reliable.
But it wasn’t built to understand reality.

In this episode of The Thinking Behind Reality, we explore why common sense often breaks down when describing the universe—and why scientific ideas frequently feel counterintuitive.

Intuition evolved for survival, not for understanding atoms, time, or cosmic scale. Scientific thinking teaches us when instinct misleads—and how to reason beyond it.

Understanding reality requires learning when not to trust intuition.

If this way of thinking resonates, follow the show for more reflections on science and reasoning.
