Chapter 06 — Limitations
You trust your eyes. But they capture only a tiny fraction of what's around you. What you see isn't the complete reality — it's just enough to survive.
Radio waves. Wi-Fi. Infrared. Ultraviolet. X-rays. Gamma rays.
You can't see any of it.
Not because it doesn't exist.
But because your eyes
were never built to detect it.
Bees see ultraviolet.
Snakes sense heat.
Migratory birds perceive Earth's magnetic field.
Every species lives
in a different sensory world —
on the same planet,
at the same time.
And you assume yours
is the real one.
If the entire electromagnetic spectrum
were a line stretching from Earth to the Moon,
what you can see
would fit in the width of a single hair.
The universe was never hiding.
It's your eyes
that were never built
to see everything that exists.
