Mh, i was hoping that you would apply some thought, let me explain myself a little better. What happens if you put your finger pointing the sun so that you cant see the sun anymore, what do your senses tell you?, the sun disappeared, the thing is that you know that it cant dissapear just like that but thats because you have a set of beliefs that has been taught to you since the day you where born, you have been raised to think in a determined set of way about the world.

I heard a story about a tribe (or a man, im not sure) that lived in a deep forest, so that they didnt knew the concept of "distance" since they where allways surrounded by big trees, when in a day for some reason they came out of the forest, and for the first time they could see a long distance, whenever they saw an animal in the distnace they thought it was a very small animal, so small that you can put it in your hand, his senses trick them since they didnt know the truth.

There was a time that people thought that earth was an horizontal plane, but a day a guy came and investigated what the truth was. Just think about the smallest things, molecules, cells, atoms, how much time and work did it take to find out the things they teach us now about the smalles things!, how can we hope to comprehend by ourselves the most complicated things?.

You can only see with your mind, whatever is on your mind determines what you can or cannot see.
