Your vehicle on Earth – the (in)capabilities of the human body

What if we were snails, or moving at snail speed? Do you think we’d be capable of watching a humming bird whiz by?  Or do you think we’d be able to witness a cheetah run by at 70 mph, or that the sea existed over yonder, and that this funny thing called day and night had some consistent timing, or does it.  What do you think a snail thinks about that?  It doesn’t have the CAPACITY to think about it. Its body and brain are not created to take in that type of data.

Soooo…. What makes us so much better than snails?  We can hear, feel, touch, taste, see, suuurrre… when you add all that up plus a bag a chips we certainly have an omnipotent list of things we humans can do, can’t we. But wait… what can’t we do?

Well, where does one start with answering that question?  What can’t I see?  What can’t I hear? What can’t I taste? What can’t I feel?  For starters, we can only see as good as our eyes… no not the quality of our vision, but the engineering of our eyeballs; how they were designed to function, and are capable of taking in images.  Same goes for all other senses; only as good as what makes up the human body.  But how would we know we have limitations, if we didn’t know what other senses or capabilities we lack or are missing?  How do we know, what we don’t know?  It’s simple. We don’t.
But maybe with our super smart brains, we might be able to measure the breadcrumbs of what we can’t observe within the scope of our senses.  And there you have the curious world of quantum physics. 

If a tree was to fall in a forest and nobody was around to observe it, would that tree make a noise when it fell?  But wait a minute, would that tree fall at all, if nobody was there to see it fall????  Our logic demands of course the obvious, but…..  

Quantum world says…. Not necessarily.  When someone or something (such as even the most delicate measuring device) is observing a situation, molecules/matter will behave how we humans EXPECT matter to behave and create a predictable outcome.  But when an event is NOT observed or measured, but merely the result is reviewed, molecules behave completely different. In fact, literally FACT, molecules act like little waves, yes like little analog waves.  Not only is it surprising that we’ve discovered that molecules behave like waves when they’re not observed, but that the OBSERVER, YOU; has a LOT to do with the result and outcome. 

Watch Dr. Quantum Double slit theory 5 minute cartoon to see this theory demonstrated.
