The failure of the five senses



When science fails we should recognize that our five senses are categorically insufficient to understand and solve everything.

In another article (1) I commented that we can not rule out a lot of sensory stimuli to which we do not agree because they only have five specialized sensors (the five senses).

This text imagined a series of numbers, (1,234 sensory stimuli), only to alert the reader that this was a hypothetical figure, but now I add that figure so big does not have to be unreal.

When we are in very close contact with reality because we learn from the mistakes that occur in the systems (computer, transportation, health, administrative, road construction and civic buildings of misconduct citizen and many others), we learn that our logic is insufficient because to prevent system failures of any kind happen again, we have to take excessive precautions, with many adverse side effects (bureaucracy, excessive controls, blocking procedures, cost overruns, slowing).

Many influential people for his charisma or traditional discretion, insist on applying scientific methods, rational, logical, but would have to question this way of thinking while recognizing that seems transgressive leave aside prejudices as settled as the infallibility of science.

When these illustrious citizens down his forehead, denoting undisguised dejection, recognize that despite their calculations there are exceptions that we explode in the face, are second-level scientists, those who do not qualify to be respectable but ultimately is listens.

These tend to be somewhat mystical, esoteric, dark and boast of being able to demonstrate a case of "the evil of inanimate things."

In short: Our five senses are categorically insufficient to understand and solve everything.
