95% of the universe — of physical reality — is entirely invisible to us.
Scientific estimates suggest that 95% of the cosmos—comprising dark matter and dark energy—remains entirely undetectable without specialized instruments.
But that's not all.
Even within our own environment, much of reality escapes us: our eyes can only detect a narrow band of visible light, and our ears are tuned to a limited range of sound frequencies. Yet, beyond those bounds lies a universe filled with ultraviolet rays, radio waves, and ultrasonic signals that shape our world in subtle but powerful ways.
From deep-sea whale calls to neutrinos streaming through our bodies unnoticed, modern science is only beginning to uncover the vast unseen forces at play.
Tools like infrared cameras and particle detectors help bridge this sensory divide, but the question remains: how much of reality are we still blind to? As our understanding deepens, the invisible universe challenges our perception of what’s real—and how much more there is to discover.
