Can we add another dimension?

 Human beings have been endowed with 5 special senses. 
•sense of touch- we can touch and know about shape and texture. Can differentiate between fine and crude touch. Can feel warm and cold. Can feel vibration, itch and tickle. Can we even begin feeling the weight, volume?
•sense of taste-we can identify 5 flavours. Maybe with new receptors we may have new tastes!
•sense of smell-our sense of smell is not so well developed. But if we can we smell how true a particular statement is! Or can smell the nature of a person!
•sense of vision- we see in the visual spectrum. we have developed cameras that enable us to see in infrared and ultraviolet. And skiagrams are a way of looking at the X rays. We can see a particular thing from far. Can magnify things. But What if we could see the past and future of a person? Could see many more different colours. Could see temperature...
•sense of hearing- we can hear the conversation going on in a room. Mobiles enable us to hear voices in other side on the globe.

 We can modify, amplify or engineer these senses. But cannot add any new dimension to it!! We cannot have a sixth sense!
