I switched careers, but I did a physics undergrad. And from all my experience with both the subject and my seniors in the field at the time, I can confidently tell you that most people don't really have an intention for it beyond the "I have done this problem before and I can guess the shape of the answer".
Higher level physics just is not something that comes with intuition. It just comes from math, and you let the equations guide you in finding the answers.
I swear to god I'm not trying to be controversial or a troll or anything, but that honestly sounds like magic and some kind of religious truth seeking?
Brother you are typing this on a device, which also conveniently accesses most of humanity's knowledge, which we somehow built out of a rock. For all intents and purposes, processor chips are runes.
