We Are all Trumans

For human, the hearing range is 20Hz to 20,000Hz. For dogs, it is 40Hz to 60,000Hz. Dolphins have a much higher pitch than humans. If you have watched the fantastic documentary The Cove, you would understand what a torture dolphins are subject to in the aquarium.

Our other senses, such as smelling, seeing, as well as touching, similar to hearing, have limits. This means there is a great deal of things we cannot sense in the world. There might be a giant tiger-shaped thing right in front of me but I can not sense it at all.

This got me to think, there might be many layers in our world, animals, plants around us are the things located within our range of senses, and there are a whole bunch outside of our range. I'll call these different layers "dimensions". Among all the dimensions, there must be one with creatures whose sensing zones are beyond us. This means they could see us, hear, and touch us, but we could not see them, hear them or feel them. What we do are movies they watch each day. Each one of us is a Truman, like the guy in the movie The Truman Show.

The Jewish proverb goes perfect here----Men Plan and God Laughs.

Unsettling? It is just a start.
