Different Forms Of Sense Perception Lead To Different Capabilities In Deducing Laws

Man is capable of directly perceiving and thus validating the existence of a great deal of physical phenomena---he knows that cars exist, and that they have certain properties which cause them to have various colours and whatnot. But, it takes a great deal more conceptual deduction for him to discover the properties of various sub-atomic phenomena.[1] On the other hand, if there were sub-atomic creatures with conceptual consciousnesses, they could directly induce these facts about the Quantum realm, and would have a much harder time deducing facts about macro-scopic objects---the upshot being that having different forms of sense perception does not invalidate sense perception.
