The Universal Delay to Human Sensing and Forming of Reality
This essay examines the delays to human cognition caused by universal physical constraints.
It lists the sources of sensory delays then the time delay
A total delay time is then created from the data.
Conclusions are then drawn.
Source Time Delay
Sight as light travelling from the cosmic
microwave background radiation 13,320,000,000
to 15,000,000,000 years
Sensory time on Earth
Light crossing 24mm of the Human Eye 0.00000008 milliseconds.
Individual neuron activation 5 milliseconds
140 groups of 714,285,714 neurons per group 5 milliseconds

Thought moving through whole brain 300 to 700 milliseconds
Sound travelling through 40mm of the outer ear 0.00000013 milliseconds
Thought moving through whole brain 300 to 700 milliseconds
Sound travelling through 50mm to the inner ear 0.00000016 millisecond
Thought moving through whole brain 300 to 700 milliseconds
Taste as electrochemical action 5 milliseconds
Thought moving through whole brain 300 to 700 milliseconds
Touch as an electromagnetic to electrochemical

Smell as electrochemical action 5 milliseconds
Thought moving through whole brain 300 to 700 milliseconds
All senses activating simultaneously milliseconds approx. 1820 to 4220
From moment of sensory input interface with human approx. 1.8 to 4.2 seconds delay sensory time on Earth delay
Conclusions
This result indicates that as interpreted by human senses the universe goes into a state of superposition in one or all of the human senses every 0.00000008 milliseconds to 1.8 seconds.
Humans therefore sense the external and internal environments as single frames in a movie.
Human reality is therefore governed by the speed of their sensory input.
Reality is only the temporary image of energy on the human sensory system before it becomes completely unknown again.
If humans could sense at a faster rate they would see more positions for all moving objects overlapping each other.
If humans could then measure the physics of these images they would conclude that the universe is a series of overlapping variable energy and mass interactions in multiple relative time locations.
The sensory delay problem also causes a fight, flight or freeze reaction via the old, reptile part of the human brain through anxiety increase due to sensory deprivation. This response has also been established in studies of human volunteers in sensory deprivation studies.

The delay problem doubles when humans try to communicate their sensory findings to other humans.
Humans have been devising technology to get past these sensory input and output delays.
Language removes the potential confusion of a delay in sensing and communication, sets a structure to it, sets a time frame to it, sets a localized environment control to it.
Writing removes the potential confusion further by the use of haptic-audio signs and symbols, arrangement, and sequence.
The use of symbols and signs allows a replaying of the sensory input.
The use of music has a similar haptic-audio production and effect to language.
The use of sound recording interfaces haptic-audio production and effect into a repeatable wax then, plastic, then wire, then tape artefact.
The use of digitization compacts the sensory input and output to increase the repeatable mimicry of the original human input and output but with the accuracy of light separation by laser.
The integration of haptic-audio sensory input and output into digitized electromagnetic waves allows images and sound to be integrated and spread between humans at the speed of light.
The delays to sensory input and output are therefore not being solved technologically by humans.
The delays exist within them and multiply exponentially every time a human tries to communicate.
Humans are trapped in a stop - start sensory reality.
Their science and technology only allows a probability of reality to be established from past environmental input.
