15. Well, we're made of sub-atomic particles and observing sub-atomic particles changes their behavior.

So my question is when we observe the visual product; of sub-atomic particles, humans and animals with just our naked eye, does that rudimentary observation still change or alter the behavior of those sub-atomic particles, even though it's not visible to the viewer?

If that's the case then perhaps the person or animal being viewed may feel at some instinctual level the effect of their own sub-atomic particles being altered by a viewer.

Sounds like pure pseudo science to me. The senses are useless without the processing of sensory information Martin68 Jun 2024 #6

I'd say the same thing if it hadn't been tested, verified, and replicated. Warpy Jun 2024 #7

Olfactory signals are meaningless until processed by the brain. The same goes for sensory information from the eyes, Martin68 Jun 2024 #9

Instinct resides in the brain. Martin68 Jun 2024 #17

Yes. However from which sense; does the brain receive the "being watched" information Uncle Joe Jun 2024 #18

I assume instinct coordinates information from all the senses in addition to memories from relevant experiences Martin68 Jun 2024 #19

modern science is still in it's infancy. cynical_idealist Jun 2024 #8

In many ways that's true, but it certainly is less of an infancy than it was 100 years ago, not to mention 2,000 years Martin68 Jun 2024 #10
