Thermal vision has some advantages over the natural visible light vision that we have as you mentioned in your video. However, a disadvantage of having thermal vision instead of visible light vision is that high spatial resolution in microscopy would be harder to achieve because microscopic objects that are smaller than half the wavelength of the light that the microscope detects cannot be resolved, i. e, seen distinctly, but will be seen as a blur. Infrared light has longer wavelengths than visible light.
In that case, we may need to conduct research into developing microscopes that can convert the then-invisible -visible light- into visible infrared light like how thermal cameras convert infrared light into visible light.

Thanks for the interesting video. Couple of quick questions: (1) IR have three classification (near, mid and far, in order to develop IR stealth material/uniform which one of the classes shall be focused? Isn't it that if someone make far-IR stealth then it will cover both near and mid IR stealth as well? -
(2) Which of these three classes (Near, mid and far IR) are used by military for detecting enemies?

I have another idea for another what if video, I am totally blind. And I-m always wondering about different what if-s about sound here-s my idea, what if we had digital hearing? Or what if we had supersonic hearing and rather than hear somebody in the next room, you could hear people from another Country or even another state.

Thermal vision is seriously amazing - it's totally changed the way we see and interact with the world. I've been using my P2 Pro thermal camera for things like checking out my house and observing wildlife, and it's just so cool! It's a total game-changer for sure.

Correction. We would still need lights, infrared would become our -visible spectrum- of light. It would likely be less useful than what we see right now. There are reasons why we evolved to see shorter wavelengths instead of infrared.

What if bad guys use this to spy and prey on good guys. A little person could be distinguished from an adult. Or what if a cat stalker uses this free the neighborhood from the wondering cat problem. Lots of what ifs with this one

Technically. It would be possible to install microchips into the brain, that would allow us to see us in thermal imaging. In reality this has never been done lolz

I have a thermal viewer myself. It-s a handy tool but I would never want to ONLY see in thermal. You can-t even see through glass with thermal!

If we had thermal vision we would be better at hunting aliens thus aliens would be globally approved to exist and ufo men would be no myth anymore

Ummmmm Thermal Vision would be detrimental to firefighters because everything would just be a jumbled mess of colors and heat signatures.

In a diffrent universe: What if we saw in the visible spectrum (Which is the human spectrum we know) instead of thermal vision.

-Scientists tried to see if eyes could see IR. They foudn out that eyes cannot already right now see IR, the end- Bruh

but you wouldn't able to see cold blooded animals like snake which would otherwise be visible in the visible light

Thermal vision is completely different from infared light I think they made a mistake when they made this video.

The problem is we can't see an object if it emit similar thermal signature as the background signatures

only problem is that you can-t see when its really hot. You couldn-t detect bodies in a burning house
