Humans tend to think the universe, its explanations and origins should all be intuitive and possible to understand. They wont accept anything more complicated than 42.

The majority seem to think the universe is all for them. This ego-centric view finds it impossible to truly believe tested observations such as those in quantum physics and general relativity, for example, which seem to defy intuition.

It wasn't made for us and it can be as non-intuitive and complicated as it likes! The full description for the universe is likely to be completely unobservable and incomprehensible to relatively simple self replicating factories such as ourselves.

Our brains needed only to get us this far. Descriptive models could forever increase in complexity and accuracy for the entire future of life on this planet, yet are unlikely to fundamentally tell us what the universe is.
