Five Senses<\/b><\/p>\n
Our five senses give us some astonishing capabilities. We can see a candle\u2019s flame 30 miles away on a dark, clear night, and smell a single drop of perfume diffused in a three-room apartment. We can taste .04 ounce of table salt in 530 quarts of water. Our sense of touch can detect a pressure that depresses the skin .00004 inch on the face or fingertips. And we can tell where a sound is coming from even when it arrives at one ear just .0003 second before its arrival at the other ear.<\/p>\n

How Sensitive Are You?<\/b><\/p>\n
If your senses are working normally, you can:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Feel on your fingertips or face a pressure that depresses your skin a bare .00004 inch.<\/p>\n
\u2022 See a small candle flame from 30 miles away on a clear, dark night.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Smell one drop of perfume diffused through a three-room apartment.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Taste .04 ounce of table salt dissolved in 530 quarts of water.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Feel the weight of a bee\u2019s wing falling on your cheek from less than half an inch away.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Distinguish among more than 300,000 different color variations.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Gauge the direction of a sound\u2019s origin based on a .00003-second difference in its arrival from one ear to the other.<\/p>\n
