Seriously, it's a pretty easy question you should be able to awnser it. But how do you know? How does anyone know anything? You might say "Well I know where my fingers are, I'm looking right at them!" or "I can touch them I can feel them! They're right here" And that's good. Your senses are a great way to learn things. In fact, we have way more than the usual five senses we talk about.
For instance, your kenestetic sense, proprioception. This is what the police evaluate in a field -sobriaty test. It allows you to tell where your fingers and arm and head and legs and body is all in relation to eachother without having to look. Or touch other things. We have way more than five senses, we have atleast twice as many and then some. But they're not perfect.
There are optical illusions, audio illusions, temperature sensation illusions even tactile illusions. Can you turn your toung upside down? If so perfect try this: run your finger along the outer edge of the tip of your upside down toung. Your toung will be able to feel your finger, but in the wrong place. Our brains never needed to develop an understanding of upside down toung touch.
So when you touch the right side of your toung when it's flipped over to your left side, you persieve a sensation on the opposite side where your toung usually is. But isn't when it's upside down. It's pretty freaky and cool, and a little humbling. Because it shows the limit of the accuracy of our senses, the only tools we have to get what's out there. In here.
