Reality is equal part abstraction and physicality, energy and information are two sides to a coin we are currently unable to percieve in full. Also, there are some aspects to reality that will never be able to be understood through the lens of science or math, due to their need for falsifyable truths within a working model. Some truths cannot be proven, and some non-physical aspects of reality cannot be directly observed through lenses or interacted with sensors or broken down into particles. The moment we start examining conciousness and psychadelics seriously as a new avenue of understanding reality our collective understanding of the universe in its totality will skyrocket.

Statistics and large numbers.
I studied statistics and the Law of Large Numbers is honestly mind boggling. I mean, I understand that it's true and I've studied the proof, but it's still enormously counterintuitive. It's not surprising that anyone who isn't familiar with it (which is the vast majority of people) to have no understanding of this phenomenon at all.

List of things that, at least to some people, don't work they way they'd expect.
I think that the Monty Haul problem is a good example on there.
