You might suggest it goes even deeper: Some animals like sharks have an electromagnetic sense that goes through many solid objects... and some crabs can perfectly detect where they are on earth using geomagnetic senses...

I had a custom pair of polarized sunglasses made, with the polaroid filter in the left lens rotated 90° from the polarization angle of the right lens. (Basically, one eye vertically polarized, and the other eye horizontally polarized.) I could instantly see every reflective surface everywhere. Also,
