Intuitive Understanding of Fields in Space-Time
03:43 - 12:57 (09:13)
The speaker claims to have a good understanding of fields in space-time, including the gravitational and electromagnetic fields, but acknowledges that intuition fades as we delve into quantum field theory. The speaker believes that those who believe in cells should also be able to believe in quantum mechanics.

The discussion centers around how our perception system frames the knowledge we have of the natural world; what our senses allow us to see or understand, and whether this prevents us from grasping the world as it is in its entirety, particularly from a quantum mechanical perspective.
