“Everything you have learned as ‘obvious’ becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe.” (Buckminster Fuller, 1895-1983)
Everything that we know isnt as obvious as it appears to be after studying the universe.
I think that this quote means that the universe is so complicated there is so much more to it than we can imagine which is beyond our normal thinking and that if you do study it everything that we see as obvious will appear to be more complicated than it looks. For example if you asked an obvious question: What colour is an apple? The obvious answer would be Red but apples come in Red and Green. After studying the universe you may see more depth to the apple like how does it appear to be Red? and what makes it that colour?. You'll begin to think of bigger questions with obvious answers.
