Yes, and our world will always be mediated through our senses, the products of biological evolution. The fact that we live demonstrates that what we perceive must correspond to the world of things in themselves to a degree great enough to keep us alive. Contemporary physics and astrophysics analyzes realms we don't need to know about for the purpose of survival. Small wonder that fails to make intuitive sense. As creatures of story, we have no choice but to understand it through the medium of story.
