Wow you have become much more cheem, I see why you are a lit student.
How do we quantify things?
I'm not very sure how to answer, but as a science student I immediately thought of SI units like metres, kilograms etc. But I know there are some things that are very hard to quantify, for e.g. emotions like love, joy etc. How do we measure love? In pascals? In mmHg?
I don't think humans are limited to what we can see. Look at how developed we are in quantam physics, and astronomy. These are examples of our unlimited imagination, and our insights into the abstract.
On a side note, I read in an article that boys are generally better at picturing the abstract than girls, not sure whether that's true. I hope that doesn't make us disadvantaged at physics > <. Haha, it says we're better at language skills though : )
