Indeed; that is the nature of the universe - emphasis on the "uni-" -
that we inhabit. How do we know of this imperceptible spectrum and so

Bees see in UV, some snakes in infrared; electric eels in
electromagnetic currents and bats and cetaceans in sonar. We still all
share the same reality. The means of perception thereof do not alter
it.
