bats can see infared. the best human way for a human to understand it is to put on a pair of infared goggles, but think about it for a second..
bats don't see heat. their heat sensors underneath their eyes or behind the nose or wherever they are located depending on species, are not a set of eyes, nor a set of ears, a set of nostrils or a mouth. it is a sense we can't fathom, we can only emulate the concept. when you look through a pair of those infared goggles, you don't see the world from a bat's point of view, you are just able to emulate the sense that a bat uses to orientate itself. it also uses sounds. a bat emits and receives a few different types of frequencies and energies, which in total forms an image in the head of the bat.
humans are the same. we use our hearing, eyes, smell, taste and nerves to sense different types of matter, energy and to receive various frequencies. much like the bat has a very own image in the brain that we can't fathom, it's the same for us. our senses form an illusion in your head, which is why when you sit in a room in a chair and look at a book on the coffee table, you think of that book as a seperate entity in space. in reality, you and the book are sort of one. you are bound by a series of atoms that are in between you and the book. energy can flow freely in between all these atoms. everything in the world is, in that manner, connected. this isn't bhuddism, it's science.
i'm establishing some facts to say that i truly believe there are different types of energy forms and frequencies that affect us all, that we are unaware of. let's say there's another force of attraction in nature that, without it, the universe would collapse, but it's not something that directly interferes with the frequencies we are able to pick up, and thus, we are oblivious to them. if not for technology, the concept of infared beaming and heat signals is something we wouldn't be able to grasp. we can feel heat with our central nerves system and the nerve sensors in our body, but we can't tell heat from uh.. unheat, from a distance. we need to feel it. the same is probably true for a lot of species, say, bacterias that prefer to swim in plutonium. they probably have some functions that a human could never fathom, although the concept could be explained.
in 1982 a scientist made a discovery. i dont remember the specifics too well, but he was able to have two electrons in two different atoms respond to eachother instantanously, regardless of distance. how is this possible without a fourth dimension? they could have been on seperate sides of the universe and there would still be no delay. if anyone knows more about this discovery and i'm misguided, please do enlighten me. but this is an experiment i know took place, and i know there are published documents that support it out there in the world somewhere. i know it's for real, so i don't know why people still like to think about god and molecules. quantum physics is where it's at. some quantom theory is more far-fetched and unrealistic than some, but the experiment mentioned above gives me so many ideas about possible solutions to life's great question, and i believe it was a huge step in the right direction, as far as definining consciousness and understanding the way of the universe goes.
unfortunately, we are limited. there are as many atoms in you as there would be you's in the sun. the way everything from a quark to a galaxy interacts with its counterparts is very interesting because it all seems to be very very systematic. people like to say that the world is more complex than people like to think, but i think it's even more complex than that.
within these beliefs i find it feasible that there is a life form living in the atmosphere. very much so. i know, like i mentioned earlier, that there are bacterias that live inside volcanoes. do you know how hot a volcano is, son? the atmosphere's cold temperature and lack of oxygen is nothing in comparison my friend.
