I do understand the point you’re making but my counter argument to that would be that physics hasn’t relied on our sensory input for a hundred years or more. It’s been almost entirely based on maths and careful measurements from machined instruments purpose built for observing phenomena. So at this point you’d hope the limitations of our biological senses would have been long surpassed.

It's impossible to surpass the physical limits of our biological senses. Can a person blind from birth form visual mental images?

We can try to retrain and reuse the sense for other purposes though. I'm reminded of that film "The Zero Theorem".
