Humans have an intuitive understanding of physics, not a mathy science one.

I know I can't put my hand through solid objects. I know that if I drop my laptop from chest height it will likely break it, the display will crack or shatter, the case will get a dent. If it hits my foot it will hurt. Depending on the angle it may break a bone. It may even draw blood. All of that is from my intuitive knowledge of physics. No book smarts needed.
