That 28% is significantly smaller than it sounds when you consider that humans are limited by about 5 primary senses that allow us to interact with our natural environment, and a human brain which that the complexity of is vastly lower than the complexity of the universe. There is probably a lot more going than we'll ever be able to know or understand.
Sure, some of our senses can be expanded with technology, for example; increasing band of wavelengths of radiation that we can sense, but it's still small change.
I'd argue that the sample size for what we can view and extrapolate is insignificant based on our limited interaction with the natural environment.
