Do You Believe There Are Other Senses?

Something I've been pondering lately. I don't necessarily mean the cliche sense of being able to talk to the dead or see them or what not, but just another sense in general.

I believe it's definitely likely, it's just impossible for us to perceive it as we've not got the necessary components to do so. I think of it like this. Imagine if there was a planet where every living creature evolved to have no eyes, possibly due to all life on said planet living in the shade of a crater, or even underground. Let's also imagine that one of these creatures evolved to a high level of intelligence similar to our own. Would they at all be able the theorize the possibility of sight without the instrument required to perceive it?

You mean, aside from the 5 that everyone knows?

There's balance for 6, I think another one that's been confirmed is called 'prioproception' or something along those lines. It means that when you close your eyes, you still know where all of your body parts are in relation to your hand.

Common sense is one sense that I used to believe existed but I am often proven wrong.mindstorm

Nah, they would be too common for people to have.

If it isn't verifiable and demonstrable then it doesn't exist.Laihendi

That could very well be the case in the future however. We were more than likely just given the senses required to live on this planet. There could be plenty of ones we missed out that evolution didn't deem necessary for life on Earth.

Uh,no.

I don't "believe" there are other senses.

I know so.

Sometimes i listen to the sounds of spirits/demons/other planes of existence.

Humans have somewhere in the range of 10-20 senses, some animals have more, like the ability to sence electromagnetism and such.Overlord93

Please elaborate on that one

That's called schizophrenia.meconate

A lot of scientific practises get shunned by society and thus don't receive the funding to forward on in their investigations.

In techincal terms there are .

I forgot the link but there was this video I remember going over the different kinds of senses. I can't remember any but I remember seeing it on a video and I'm pretty sure it wasn't bull$#!+.

Dammit what was that video.

I can tell if an electronic is on in other rooms if it doesn't emit sound. FrostyPhantasm

I know sharks can sense electrical impulses to help them detect muscle movements of their prey, which I always thought was pretty cool.

I think everyone has sensed that something bad was going to happen before it did or that a situation was dangerous without any obvious signs of danger.

Enjoy.

I think there probably are other senses that we as humans (except for very rare cases) cannot comprehend or perceive. It doesn' t mean they don' t exist though.

There is no question of "belief". Indeed there are over twice the number of senses you may be taught about in primary school. I am too tired to list them, but google it!

I think some people are slightly misunderstanding my question. I don't necessarily mean a secondary sense (if you could call it that) such as emotion, electromagnetic sensory or intelligence, but another primary sense in general. We can hear, feel, smell, taste and see things, but do you think there are other (primary) senses as significant as them that we can't possibly even begin to comprehend the existence of as nothing on Earth has ever acquired it?

Might be possible...

BUT I think most people just WANT to have other senses...

I dont know, but ever since i was a kid i get a weird tingle in my body before someone enters my room, or is about to come interact with me.

Its like spidey sense, but for absolutley pointless things.

I believe we are influenced by changes in weather, atmospherical pressure and eletromagnetic fields in ways which we can't perceive the cause, but the consequence. We aren't in tune to them as other animals are (such as birds to the planet's eletromagnetic field and of certain animals to climate changes), since our primary sense is vision, but we are connected and feel the consequences of their changes regardless.

Anyone who thinks we only have 5 senses deseves to be punched in the face.
