A journey into possible fears related to what we cannot understand, the unknown and knowledge, complexity and awe in the phenomena of nature. The thesis dives into the factors that shape those fears and aims to tackle the phenomena of unperceptive substances illustrated in a narrative on radiation. It explores in a critical approach through embodiment alternative perceptions and theories towards existence and engagement with our surroundings, as Harraway points out in Staying with the trouble. Ultimately, this thesis seeks to cultivate a mindset that embraces the unknown with curiosity and resilience, questioning preconceived fears and opening doors to new ways of engaging with the mysteries of existence by bringing these entities in a level that is perceivable by our bodily sensations.
