When A Leaf Turns

Our intuition is formed by what we commonly experience in our lives.

This video shouldn’t be surprising, given even a basic understanding of how water and air interact. And yet it is because out intuition automatically includes the concept of up and down. Bubbles float up, and water droplets fall down. Get rid of up and down and things don’t act “the way they should”.

I love videos like this that remind me to question intuition. After all, what is intuitive isn’t necessarily true.
