The great Mayan ball courts are 225 ft wide by 545 ft in length, surrounded by stadium style seating. You can stand at one end of it and talk to someone standing at the other end and have a conversation without raising your voice. No need to yell. We don't know everything already but discovered ways of doing some things by trial and error, happenstance, etc. People just need to accept some things and get on with life and when time and opportunity permits, figure out why. No need to disregard some things because you can't wrap your head around it.
All the best,
Nonoise
