Our ancestors were fully aware of the different senses of the human body and used them accordingly. Modern society appears to have forgotten it, as we hold on to the belief we only have five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing.
Far from what is popularly believed, the human senses are more than just five. In addition to sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing, our body has many other senses that have been cast in the shadows as mainstream society evolves.
In this article, we bring you ten extra senses that you probably did not know about.
These ten senses were widely used and recognized by ancient cultures around the globe, but have become depopularized throughout the years as modern society becomes ‘colder,’ and hence senseless due to numerous different reasons. We have forgotten the immense capabilities of our body, and have become less connected to our surroundings, mostly because many of us have become distant from our environment, distant from our senses.
Maybe its time to start following the ancient way of life, and become more in touch with the different senses that our body has, but we decide to ignore.
Our ancestors were fully aware of the different senses of the human body and used them accordingly. Modern society appears to have forgotten it, as we hold on to the belief we only have five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing.
Chemoreceptors: they are related to the detection of hormones and drugs. They can also regulate the vomiting reflex. They are sensory extensions of the peripheral nervous system into blood vessels.
Stretch receptors: located in the primary organs, they allow the detection of dilation of the blood vessels. They are related to headaches. Stretch receptors are neurologically linked to the medulla in the brain stem via afferent nerve fibers. Curiously, they monitor blood pressure and have the ability to stimulate the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the posterior pituitary gland.
Equilibrioception or sense of balance. This sense, located inside the ears, allows humans to maintain the balance and to make the necessary changes so that the body is kept in balance during movement. Balance is the result of a number of body systems working together: the eyes (visual system), ears (vestibular system) and the body’s sense of where it is in space (proprioception) ideally need to be intact.
Nociception: is responsible for the perception of pain. It consists of three types of receptors: somatic (bones and joints), cutaneous (skin) and visceral (internal organs). As noted by experts, nociceptors have a certain threshold; that is, they require a minimum intensity of stimulation before they trigger a signal.
Hunger: thanks to this sense the body identifies the need to feed. However in today’s world, even though we feel hunger we are found living in such a rapid environment where many of us ignore that sense. Furthermore, there are those who eat even when full, ignoring once gain this sense. Here we can also include thirst, which more or less allows your body to monitor its hydration level so you know when you need to hydrate.
Tension Sensors: they are located in the muscles and allow the brain to regulate the intensity of the muscular tension.
Propioception: This map of sensitive receptors allows the body to know the spatial location of each of its parts. Propioception is distinguished from exteroception, by which one perceives the outside world, and interoception, by which one perceives pain, hunger, etc.
Sound/Hearing: this sense detects sound vibrations housed in different media, such as in air or water. Lately ,our society doesn’t hear or listen, and we rarely time to listen to silence, something widely practices by different cultures around the globe.
Thermoception. is responsible for both detecting the temperature of the outside environment and regulating the temperature of the body itself. The details of how temperature receptors work are still being investigated.
Itching: independent of the touch, it is the sense that captures and sends the sensation of pruritus to the brain. According to brainfacts, itching could be a flavor of the many sensations communicated by other sensory neurons.

As controversial as it may sound to many, a scientist has revealed how death is not real, it is an illusion generated by our consciousness. Furthermore, life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever.
Wake Forest University School of Medicine scientist Robert Lanza says in his book “Biocentrism,” that death is an illusion generated by our consciousness.
Dr. Lanza was a member of the team of scientists that cloned the world’s first early stage human embryos. In September of 2011, Lanza’s company received approval from the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency to start the first human embryonic stem cell trial in Europe.
Dr. Lanza is the co-author of the book Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe, which you can buy here.
The professor took public notoriety after the publication of his book, which, based on notions of quantum physics, explains his particular hypothesis that holds that biology and life are the origin of reality and the Universe, not the other way around. Thus, time would be only an entity created by the life that observes it.
According to this theory, there are many realities supported by different levels of consciousness.
In this way, the end of life would be only a notion instilled in our minds, since if there is neither time nor space, there can be no death.
Lanza writes on his website how Death does not exist in a timeless, spaceless world. In the end, even Einstein admitted, “Now Besso” (an old friend) “has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us…know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
According to new evidence, Einstein was right – death is an illusion. Furthermore, the researcher, author, and entrepreneur argues that immortality doesn’t mean a perpetual existence in time, but resides outside of time altogether.
Lanza states how the concept of death as we know it does not exist in any real sense since there are no real limits according to which it can be defined.
Essentially, the idea of dying is something we have always been taught to accept, but in reality, it exists only in our minds.
The idea of biocentrism is similar to the idea of parallel universes, the hypothesis formulated by many theoretical physicists according to which there are an infinite number of universes in which diverse variations of people and situations exist and occur simultaneously. Thus, if someone believes in death throughout their lives, they will create their reality based on this belief, and, on the contrary, if someone believes that he is made of immortal essence and that we are only in this life of passage, we will live in a way totally different than what we are used to, creating our reality based on that belief, otherwise totally incompatible with the previous one.
According to biocentrism, time does not exist independently of the life that observes it. The reality of time has been questioned by a strange alliance of philosophers and physicists.
The former argue that the past exists only as an idea in the mind, which in turn are neuroelectric events that occur strictly in the present moment.
Then death and the idea of immortality exist in a world without spatial or linear boundaries. Thus, it can be concluded that death can not be a terminal or final event, as we usually consider it.

An archaeologist believes that there’s a MASSIVE 900-meter tall pyramid hidden in plain sight beneath thick layers of vegetation and soil in Australia. The structure is believed to date back some 5,000 years.
Pyramids are scattered all across the globe. No matter where we look, ancient cultures built marvelous ancient structures across the planet, with the most notorious monument being the Great Pyramid of Giza, an ancient wonder of engineering still standing today after thousands of years.
Pyramids are not new to Australia, although the style may differ. For example, the Ballandean Pyramid and Gympie Pyramids are good examples.
Ballandean pyramid in Queensland, Australia with a height of 15 meters and width of 30 meters.
Now, a group of amateur archaeologists from Australia claims that before Australia was visited by the Europeans—in fact, thousands of years before that, I might add—the ancient Egyptians visited the mainland of Australia and even built Pyramids there.
As outrageous as this may sound to many, according to the group of researchers, more than 5000 years after ancient Egyptians made their way to Australia, it is believed that a Pyramid built under a mountain in North Queensland has been discovered.
According to a set of Hieroglyphs found in Gosford, there are TWO pyramids in Australia – one at Gympie (pictured) here, which has been demolished, and another one which still stands today.
The group claims how ‘Walsh’s Pyramid’, located some 30 minutes west of the popular Australian coastal city, stands a staggering 922 meters in height.
The Pyramid is said to be the final resting place of Egyptian Royal Lord Nefer-ti-ru, according to the group.
And exactly where most people see only a massive Pyramid-shaped hill is where the vivid group of archaeologists sees more than what initially meets the eye.
These curious set of hieroglyphs referred to as the Kariong Hieroglyphs due to the fact they are located in the Brisbane Water National Park, Kariong, and also called the Gosford Glyphs due to the nearby community of Gosford can be seen in New South Wales.
But countless controversies surround the alleged hieroglyphs. Numerous archaeologists have made it clear that the Gosford Glyphs are nothing more than a modern forgery, and how it’s IMPOSSIBLE that the ancient Egyptians made their way to Australia and carved the curious set of symbols on the side of a massive rock, let alone build pyramids.
As we wrote previously, is said that amateur archaeologist Ray Johnson supposedly translated the alleged glyphs for the Museum of Antiquities in Cairo and was successful in documenting and translating the two facing walls of Egyptian characters.
The translation of the Gosford Glyphs supposedly records the story of a tragic saga of ancient Egyptian explorers that shipwrecked in a strange and hostile land—now known as Australia.
Anyway, returning back to the Pyramid in Australia, Ray Johnson is convinced how the enigmatic set of hieroglyphs at Gosford undoubtedly point how Lord Nefer-ti-ru, a former member of the ancient Egyptian Royal Family is buried at the site.
Furthermore, Johnson is convinced how the Gosford Glyphs tell the story of how ancient Egyptian sailors built TWO Pyramids in Australia, one of which was said to be found at Gympie, in central Queensland.
This is the alleged Pyramid in Australia, rising a staggering 900 meters in the air. The Pyramid (pictured), is located outside Cairns in north Queensland.
It was eventually demolished leaving the whereabouts of the other Pyramid an enigma all until now.
Mr. Johnson believes that the second Pyramid is in fact located beneath thick layers of soil, hidden away from sight, remaining unperceived for thousands of years.
Despite the fact that the “hieroglyphs” point to the existence of a Pyramid located in the Area, the site in question—located at the Wooroonooran National Park—has never been researched.
This is mostly due to the fact that experts consider the location where Johnson believes the Pyramid is located a Natural granite peak. However, archaeologists are convinced that this pyramid could be similar to the one discovered buried beneath thick layers of soil and vegetation in Visoko, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
However, mainstream scholars reject the notion there’s a Pyramid in Australia—let alone two—and that the mountain where said structure is supposedly located, only ‘appears to be the shape of a pyramidal structure’.

Since the first discovery of planets beyond the solar system in 1995, more than 6,000 exoplanets have been identified. Many of these planets have properties that differ significantly from the eight planets in our solar system. How are such diverse exoplanets formed and evolved, and which of them could potentially become Earth-like planets capable of supporting life?
Seventy years ago, in Osmond Laboratory on Penn State’s University Park campus, Erwin W. Müller, Evan Pugh Research Professor of Physics, became the first person to “see” an atom. In doing so, Müller cemented his legacy, not only at Penn State, but also as a pioneer in the world of physics and beyond.
Imagine a clock that doesn’t have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used liquid crystals, the same materials that are in your phone display, to create such a clock—or, at least, as close as humans can get to that idea. The team’s advancement is a new example of a “time crystal.” That’s the name for a curious phase of matter in which the pieces, such as atoms or other particles, exist in constant motion.
Graphene is an extraordinary material—a sheet of interlocking carbon atoms just one atom thick that is stable and extremely conductive. This makes it useful in a range of areas, such as flexible electronic displays, highly precise sensors, powerful batteries, and efficient solar cells.
