Learning about relativity in physics, it's struck me that many of the things we assume to be true--like the idea that velocities add--are just illusions caused by living in a slow world. Last semester in chemistry I learned about quantum mechanics and realized that we only think we can know exactly where things are because we live in such a massive world.
It makes me wonder what assumptions we make--about science, about philosophy, about everything--just because we live in a very limited sphere.
