We're always finding ways to interact with the world and perceive it from a different dimension/angle. This comic isn't so much inaccurate as it is exaggerated.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly how scientists felt the first time they developed microscopes, electron microscopes, and other technology that lets us experience the world in a different way. A mixture of "woah" and "mind-blown".

I grok, but nah there are literally people who believed this and committed "quantum suicide". John McAfee was likely one of them.
