What we know of the world comes to us primarily through vision. Our eyes, however, are sensitive only to that segment of the spectrum located between red and violet; the remaining 95 percent of all existing light (cosmic, infrared, ultraviolet, gammas, and x-rays) we cannot see. This means that we only perceive 5 percent of the "real" world.

Haven't checked blogs in awhile, and the last time I did, Jimmy was still smiling at me. 5%--sounds about right for the vastness of "The Light" and how little we truly comprehend.
Good thing we have sophisticated instruments!
