counter-intuitive

But let me just come back to what you said about our intuitive ideas of space and time breaking down and
becoming meaningless. And my reaction is – why shouldn’t they? After all, our intuitive perception of reality
is an immediate perception of reality that has developed from our brains and our experience of the world shaped by evolution, and clearly evolution knows nothing of quantum reality, nor does it know anything about the vast expanse of time and space of cosmology. And so, it’s not astonishing that those notions become counter-intuitive since we are actually extending our capability of making
statements about realities way beyond the scales which our brains were designed to interact with. And so it’s not an astonishing thing.
