No human has ever seen what the world really looks like. We've only seen how bundles of neurons make sense of the electrical impulses from the photons hitting the back of our retina, sending signals down the optic nerve.
If you saw the world the way it looks in totality, when you looked up in the night sky, you wouldn't see blackness. If your eyes were sensitive to infrared light, radio frequencies, microwaves, ultraviolet and the entire electromagnetic spectrum, you'd see a universe glowing brilliantly above you. Yet we see but a tiny sliver of what we call "visible light".
It is strange that our intuition is that the human eye is the gold standard for visual perception of reality, when it sees so little of it.
