Napoleon The reason I bring up ESP is because If our brains are at the cutting edge of evolution
Stop.
Pause.
This shows you don't understand evolution.
EVERY THING ALIVE is evolving.
Every tree, bacteria or dog is at its MOST TERMINAL branch of evolution. EVERYTHING is on this so-called "cutting edge" of evolution.
Evolution always continues. Its a process, not a goal.
would it be far fetched to assume that we somehow "tune in" to an alternate reality
alternative reality?
No.
If you could smell as well as a dog of hear low frequencies like elephants or see UV light like some birds...thats not an alternative reality...
Thats MERELY reality, you're just tuned into MORE of it.
For example, humans have three types of "cone" type cells in the eye? Red, Green and Blue...right? You know this right? Mixing those leads to us seeing as many colors as we do.
HOWEVER...there are some people that have FOUR receptors.
They're called tetrochromats.
They see MORE COLORS than you do, but they're really rare.

Its not some "alternative" dimension. Its merely sensitivity to stimuli i.e. light.
hypothesized by the many worlds interpretation of quantum theory?
This is not what that theory asserts. You're takling about the ability to sense more of the universe, which has nothing do with ACTUALLY DIFFERENT UNIVERSES.
I know the details of this stuff is arcane, especially for the layman but I'm just putting the possibility out there as an explanation for alot of the subjective phenomena described in this thread
No offense, but you don't really understand the terms being discussed.
you're confusing sensory stimuli and detection with the SPECULATION (theres no evidence behind it beyond a mere thought) of other universes
