Human Sense Ranging and Information Gathering:
Radius of Static Ranging: Dynamic Velocity:
Tactile 1/1000th of a mile 10 miles per hour
Olfactoral 1 mile 400 miles per hour
Aural 100 miles 1100 miles per hour
Visual 6,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles* 700,000,000 miles per hour
- One light year is six trillion miles and humans see
Andromeda with naked eye one million light years away,
which means six quintillion miles.
"If we try to plot two curves of these static and dynamic
human sensing capabilities on a chart, we will have no
trouble in positioning the first three senses;
but to reach the point on the chart at which the sight capabilities
occur, we will have to take an airplane and fly for many days
to reach those positions. It is clear that as we recede from
the first three set of points, they will gradually tend to
appear as one."
