Default Experiments to contact "other universes" in the multiverse.

Driving a car is an intuitive experience as it relies on judgment of motions either fixed or moving hence analogies of roundabout or racetrack circuits always help the observer put planetary or lunar motions into perspective context.

Pascal went to great lengths to describe the differences between the mathematical and intuitive mind and was somewhat successful in describing the advantages/disadvantages of each but in astronomy, especially in judging solar system structure and our place within that structure, most of the difficulties are removed by time lapse, sequential imaging and so on.

The intuitive person should have no problem celebrating the perspectives which split the larger circumferences and slower moving planets from the smaller circumference of Venus and Mercury where the loops are illusory for the slower moving planets and actual loops for the faster moving planets along with their phases -

Let the theorists wax lyrical about warped space, time travel, multiverses and so on, satisfaction for everyone else comes through new expressions of astronomical imaging and not mathematics.
