What amazes me is that all this math works. This kind of tricks "lets assume this clever 3x3 matrix describes how it works" makes sense if you're reverse engineering a 3D rendering engine, because you know there is some simple math under the hood. The fact that our world obeys simple mathematical equations is surprising.

Narrative. Like we use in history, for instance.
