If I could draw a distinction which is extremely important in modern physics.
This certainly defies 'common sense' or ordinary day-to-day intuition. However it doesn't defy logic, as all the maths and physics 'fits together' properly, and what we observe matches what the theory says we should.
The issue is that our ordinary intuitions are based on the fact that we only see (and have evolved to deal with) a tiny bit of the universe, being where things are medium-sized and move slowly. Outside that, when you think about it, there's really no reason for us to have reliable intuitions about things.
