Science crosses the boundary of evolved perception via math

We can gain access to truths about reality outside the boundary of our evolved perceptual systems through science, math, and logic; for example, we have no evolved perceptual intuition for what light is, yet through scientific theory up to quantum mechanics we have gotten much closer to its nature even though it remains mysterious.
