Mmhmm thats why it took so long for concepts like evolution and deep time to appear, although they seem simple to us now they are very counter intuitive. The same is true for relativity. In fact a great deal of science is counter intuitive because we live In what people call the middle world (not big or small) for a finite time. Thus the very large and very small are very foreign to us and our brains are poorly designed for such reasoning.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
