  • Big patterns are sometimes visible by the absence of things.
    • You can see a big dark object against the night sky by the pattern of absences of stars.
    • If you don't realize to look there you wouldn't see anything.
      • You need to have a hypothesis that it could be there to even look for it.
    • If you realize it's there, you'll notice the subtle consistent absence of things.
    • Even though each missing star is a minor thing, in aggregate the missing large space implies something large.
    • This can help you see things that are invisible to everyone else.
