Why can't text alone teach full physical intuition?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: Text omits motion and feedback
Text omits motion and feedback ✓ — Correct! Text describes the world from the outside and often leaves out motion, geometry, timing, and feedback—the ingredients of physical intuition.
Books are too short — Wrong. Length is not the main issue. Even huge amounts of text may still miss the continuous structure of how the real world unfolds.
AI dislikes science — Wrong. The limitation is not preference, but data form. Text is powerful, but it is not the full richness of embodied experience.
