Reflecting on Professor Greene’s words about intuition, evolution and survival, I find it interesting how the Special Theory of Relativity was born just before humanity made its first step into the Space Age. Was it just a convenient coincidence or was it, actually, all part of the evolution and survival process as our environment expands?
Hence, I’m curious if our intuition relative to the environment would ever be altered by the new perspectives on the Universe given to us by instruments augmenting our senses and knowledge augmenting our empirical experience.
