Here's a thought.
Imagine all humans were born without the apparatus we call ears. We would have no concept of sound at all. The idea itself would be completely alien to us.

You wouldn't be able to describe to someone what it is that they're missing, even though sound IS out there in the world. We'd just be unable to sense it.

So given that, do you ever wonder if there IS some apparatus that we all don't have? And therefore something else out there that IS there, but we just can't sense it?

Or do you reckon eyes, ears, nose, tongue and touch covers it all? I don't.

Maybe ESP of some sort? Maybe not what we conventionally think, but something that we don't quite get? Look at animals. They can sense things very easily...that's very curious to me.

 Quoting: HeidiLore


Yerp. That's kinda what I was driving at.

But also, in the same way as you couldn't possibly describe "hearing a sound" to a species that never had ears, there could be something else out there that we can't possibly grasp because we don't have the "ears" for it.

 Quoting: GhostHunter


Correct. But that would then be put down to the sense of touch. Something moving in the air and you can feel it. However, the concept of "hearing" a sound would still be totally alien.

Exactly. People who once had hearing, but then lost it, know what they are missing. People born 100% deaf have no concept of it.

 Quoting: GhostHunter


Just thinking more on what you've said here GH.

Without ears, sound would be vibrations we feel via touch. We'd be able to differentiate it from touching solid objects too, as it feels different. So to us, sound would = "that vibration you feel".

Of course, there's more to it, but we don't have ears so we never even suspect there's more to it.

So imagine if there was "more to" light? To us, light is what makes everything bright, has heat to it, and that's about it. What if there's more to it than that, but we don't have the "ears" for it?

I'll stop babbling now.

we only detect projected light with our vibrational recievers.
