I read a real eye-opener... Imagine the human race had no ears, we would have absolutely no idea that 'sound' existed despite being literally surrounded by it everywhere. Now imagine what receptors we Might Be missing... What's right in front of us that's have no idea.
edit: lots of people saying bad example because we can measure sound with other devices. We can measure lots of stuff. Just because a graph tells us data happens, doesn't mean we fully experience every part of it. You'd know that vibrations happen, you wouldn't hear melody and harmony. I think that's why he says "tuning the radio", you're not making things up just experiencing them in a different way. Perhaps it's difficult for people to understand.
