There is this strange idea, that if we understand the facts or science behind how something works, we will lose our sense of wonder. But this has never felt true for me, understanding prisms doesn't take away the beauty of a rainbow, understanding evolution doesn't negate the miracle of our existence. The Universe is a magical place, and the more I learn, the more my wonder deepens.
Only science can have you look at your own hands in wonder the first time you learn that there are no muscles in your fingers.
Come back, explain yourself!
Your fingers are controlled by muscles in your forearms pulling tendons that travel all the way down your fingers.
OUR HANDS ARE THE ORIGINAL PUPPETS
Edit dude. Duuude. And those puppets control the puppets! like woah bro, groovy
Wait, really?
