About this listen
Reality behaves differently depending on how closely—or how broadly—you look.
In this episode of The Thinking Behind Reality, we explore why intuition breaks down across scales, and why truths that work at one level of reality can fail at another.
From atoms to galaxies, scale reshapes certainty, behavior, and explanation. Understanding reality requires knowing not just what is happening—but at what scale it applies.
Perspective matters more than we think.
If this way of thinking resonates, follow the show for more reflections on science and perspective.
Keywords:
scale in physics, why scale matters, small vs large scale reality, intuition and scale, physics explained, science perspective, understanding reality
