Part 2/9:
Humans have long relied on their senses to interpret the world. Yet, what if this reality we perceive is just an elaborate illusion created by our minds? This concept is not merely the stuff of science fiction; it is at the core of Hoffman's groundbreaking ideas. Our historical misunderstandings of the universe—like the belief in a flat Earth or that it represents the center of the universe—illustrate how easily we can misinterpret our experiences. Drawing upon the thoughts of Galileo, Hoffman prompts us to ponder whether we might be misinterpreting our experiences in ways we have yet to understand.
