I was wondering if anybody had an explanation for why physics makes so much sense to us humans. In physics, many concepts just seem to make sense to me, but I cannot explain why. You may say that this means I do not understand the concept, but I do not think that that is true: I feel confident that I could explain these concepts in a way that other humans agree would make sense.

As an example, when I describe the position of an object with a vector, that just makes sense. I cannot think of any other way to describe it. Similarly, the concept of a field (gravitational, electrical, etc.) just makes sense to me: I can visualize a force that acts on a particle depending on its location.

I guess my question is, why do these concepts make sense to humans? Why can we trust our physical/mathematical intuition? How can we be sure that, when we pass our laws of physics down to future generations, these concepts will "make sense" to them in the same way (i.e. they will not misuse them)? Thank you!
