What we see is not what they get

poor georgie's almanack


What we think is our universe, or our world, is based on what humans evolved to sense.  

Birds evolved differently.  Some, if not all, migrating birds use the magnetic waves around the Earth as a GPS.  No monthly fee.

Their description of the Earth and sky would be different than ours.  This picture is an artist’s concept of what the night sky might look (or be sensed by) a migrating bird.  It shows magnetic waves around the planet Jupiter… much bigger than our Moon.  Humans eyes and brains only sense the Moon from the Sun's light waves bouncing off of it.  


And chickens can see the same light waves we see, but also ultraviolet light waves, which help them find bugs to eat.  Maybe that's why we don't eat bugs.

More tomorrow.
