Default Humans can see into the future.

This theory says that, the reason we don't feel a lag in the 1/10 of a second it takes for light to reflect off an object into our eyes, is that our vision may generate an image of what is going to happen in the future.

Changizi now says it's our visual system that has evolved to compensate for neural delays, generating images of what will occur one-tenth of a second into the future. That foresight keeps our view of the world in the present. It gives you enough heads up to catch a fly ball (instead of getting socked in the face) and maneuver smoothly through a crowd. His research on this topic is detailed in the May/June issue of the journal Cognitive Science
They say this would explain some optical illusions.

But wouldn't this also mean that all other senses are connected to future events? You would have to feel something, before it actually does touch you. Is this likely? that everything we hear, smell, touch, taste, and see all happen 1/10 a second before it happens?
I thought I'd share this article, it can be interesting, it can be total bs.
