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.
I recently watched a YouTube about the nature of reality and how bees, for example, see flowers’ colors invisible to us (not that color actually exists, but that’s an adjacent topic), and the video colorized a white flower to show what might see; absolutely stunning.

I know it's just a Mastodon thing, but it looks like you're summoning a squad of friends to help you find it.
