Intuition (excerpt)
Dr Koch (unedited):
We've held this deep intuition about space, time and causality, and we have them because it is proved to be evolutionarily useful for us and our ancestors. But maybe the universe is not quite simple as it meant or ought to be-certainly not at the scale of, for example, quantum mechanic fields. So we have to learn over the last hundred years that the laws of cause and effect are very complicated. If you go to microscopic, things get entangled, and things really become very strange. And intuition ... just no guide to those sorts of things. And same thing with the brain, the brain is very complicated machine, enormously complicated machine, we don't really deal with such complicated things, and we have a very simple intuition about it.
