Sorry for the confusing title, but earlier when I was sipping some coffee I felt the heat emanating off of the liquid in the cup without touching the cup.
So it made me think, why don’t we treat heat sensitivity as a distinct sense to touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing? I’d love to hear a catchier name for ‘temperature sensitivity’ for its distinct sense as well, since those other ones are less of a mouthful.
Thank you for coming to my shower thought!
You can also hear the difference between crispy and crunchy! And how full a bottle is of water as you fill it!
Or how full an opaque bottle of water is when you pick it up, just by feeling how it sloshes inside the container. Our brains are doing some serious math
