The shadows we never see

However, the history of science has shown that what we observe is only a small portion of what truly exists. What would happen if there were beings that coexist with us, but we simply cannot perceive them because they reside in a spectrum of light that is not visible to us? This proposal may seem like something out of science fiction, but if we examine the matter with an open mind, we notice that it is not as absurd as it seems.

Our ability to see is restricted to a small area of the electromagnetic spectrum, which we call "visible light." Moreover, there are radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, all invisible to us without the application of specialized technology. Some animals, like snakes, are capable of perceiving heat in the dark through infrared, while some insects perceive ultraviolet light. This raises a fascinating question: if there are beings on Earth that perceive more than we can, what prevents us from believing that there could be beings whose way of life is based on a light frequency that we simply do not perceive?

Science has not yet found definitive evidence of organisms residing in other light spectrums, but there are clues that support the hypothesis. Throughout history, individuals have reported incomprehensible phenomena, tales as fleeting shadows, sudden temperature variations, or perceptions of invisible presences. Some researchers have postulated that, in different dimensions, there could be lifestyles based on physical foundations different from those we know. If this were true, these creatures could coexist with us without us having the slightest idea of their existence.

Moreover, quantum mechanics has shown us that reality is not as unusual as we think. Electrons can be located in two places simultaneously, particles can become entangled at unimaginable distances, and there are several dimensions that we cannot perceive directly. Is it true that in one of those dimensions there are conscious beings whose essence prevents them from interacting with us in a tangible way?

The existence of entities that cannot be seen with the naked eye compels us to question the very essence of our perception. Maybe someday, with more sophisticated technology, we will discover that we have always been surrounded by presences that we simply did not know how to identify. Until that moment, we only have assumption, unease, and imagination to uncover the shadows we have never witnessed.
