One day a frog from the ocean decided to visit a frog who had lived his entire life in a well.
"Where do you come from?" asked the frog in the well.
"From the great ocean," he replied.
"How big is your ocean?"
"It's gigantic."
"You mean about a quater of the size of my own well here?"
"Bigger."
"Bigger? You mean half as big?"
"No, even bigger."
"Is it... as big as this well?"
"There's no comparison."
"That's impossible! I've got to see this for myself."
They set off together. When the frog from the well saw the ocean, it was such a shock that his head exploded.
When we assume that entirety of our own lives is the universe, it makes it impossible for us to fathom another demension of reality.
