  We aim to bring a new perspective about some aspects of the current research
in Cosmology. We start with a brief introduction about the main developments of
the field in the last century; then we introduce an analogy that shall
elucidate the main difficulties that observational sciences involve, which
might be part of the issue related to some of the contemporary cosmological
problems. The analogy investigates how microscopic beings could ever discover
and understand gravitational phenomena.
