The relativism of Lao Tzi "Tao, the subtle reality of the universe cannot be described. That which can be described in words is merely a conception of the mind. Although the names and descriptions have been applied to it, the subtle reality is beyond the description."

But what if the world really isn’t as we perceive it? WATER PRESSURE Sharks can sense vibrations in the water using a the lateralis system. The "lateral line" system is a network of neuromasts, which are fine, fluid-filled vessels that run along a shark's body under the skin along the length of a shark. Many small pores open up on the skin, detecting the intensity and direction of vibrations in the water. This system enables the shark to detect injured fish (easy prey) that are thrashing around in the water. ELECTRICITY Sharks can also detect electricity, which is emitted in small amounts by every living animal. Sharks have a special network of jelly-filled canals in their head that detect electric fields. This lets the shark pick up weak electrical stimuli from the muscle contractions of animals.detect electricity
