I want to know the answer to the following question:
Assumptions of how the universe works are difficult to see precisely because of what?
All the background I'm provided with is that "While Whitehead acknowledged that "philosophers can never hope finally to formulate these metaphysical first principles," he argued that people need to continually re-imagine their basic assumptions about how the universe works if philosophy and science are to make any real progress, even if that progress remains permanently asymptotic.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
