I don't know.

Basically...

No, and that's not for the curvature, but just for shits and grins.

#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
But I think that, I don't know, I think that it's emblematic of the fact that it's hard to believe the things you don't have input for.

You know, like, you build your intuition.
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
We build our intuition, you know, walking around in a way where, like, you might not notice these things.
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
Like, do you notice the phases of the moon?
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
I don't know, like, how much people pay attention to those things or how much it affects their lives.
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
And then doubling down on that worldview thing
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
It's sometimes funny, sometimes scary.

#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
I don't know what the right, the take on it is, but like, you know, there's value to questioning, I guess, like how much your assumptions or like the visceral world that you live in and the intuition you get from that actually extends beyond the things that you're able to probe yourself.

#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
Like you can't go and just jump up into space and look down and be like, oh, nevermind.
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
Maybe soon.

Maybe send them up, like, hey, they go free, like they'll say it to get on the free, like suborbital flight or something.

I think that if anything... Okay, so breaking your current understanding, I think that sometimes it is the paradoxes that show that there are problems in our understanding.
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
So I think that maybe...
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
Breaking isn't as active word I don't think I want to use.
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
I think that, like, again, I always feel like I don't even understand these stuff well enough.
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
And I think that's one problem when you're in a field that everybody's confused is, like, how confused are you?
The Shawn Ryan Show
#312 Sabrina Pasterski - Theoretical Physicist on the Hidden Code of the Universe
Like, when I say I'm confused, does that mean I'm actually confused?
