Could it not be said, that we are, and have been, discovering new dimensions in reality, beyond the theoretical ones we hear so much about?

Beyond the Multiverse and supposed 4th & 5th dimensions of popular science adhoc conversations, which are all theoretical, are we failing to acknowledge new dimensions that actually have in fact been discovered in reality, but take for granted in our every day lives?

I propose limiting our human dimensions to that which is detectable with our innate human senses. Sight, touch, hearing, taste, smell… If we can’t detect a reality with those senses, then it is not of the human dimension.

So when ultrasound detects a baby in the womb, or sunken treasure in the bottom of the ocean, shouldn’t that be considered a different dimension of reality? Night vision provides us with a new dimension of sight just as Ultra Violet and Infra Red do. The electroencephalogram and the brain scanner show us another dimension of reality every bit as much as the microscope and radio telescope do.

We’re even beginning to uncover new dimensions in space and time that are not theoretical any longer. Shouldn’t these be considered new dimensions of reality if we cannot detect them with our innate human senses?

Why aren’t we acknowledging that humanity has actually succeeded in uncovering alternative dimensions of reality?
