Research Suggests Humans May Have a Remote Touch 'Seventh Sense'
Scientists have discovered a new 'seventh sense' in humans called remote touch, which allows people to detect objects buried in granular materials like sand with high precision, similar to shorebirds. Experiments showed humans can sense objects up to nearly 7 cm away, and robotic sensors trained with AI could replicate this ability, opening new possibilities for exploration and technology development. This discovery broadens our understanding of human perception and has potential applications in archaeology, space exploration, and robotics.
