WHAT DOES IMPALPABLY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Unobservable

An unobservable is an entity whose existence, nature, properties, qualities or relations are not directly observable by humans. In philosophy of science typical examples of "unobservables" are atomic particles, the force of gravity, causation and beliefs or desires. However, some philosophers also characterize all objects — trees, tables, other minds, microbiological things and so on to which humans ascribe as the thing causing their perception—as unobservable. "Unobservables" is a reference similar to Immanuel Kant's distinction between noumena and phenomena. According to Kant humans can never know noumena; all that humans know is the phenomena. Kant's distinction is similar to John Locke's distinction between primary and secondary qualities. Secondary qualities are what humans perceive such as redness, chirping, heat, mustiness or sweetness. Primary qualities would be the actual qualities of the things themselves which give rise to the secondary qualities which humans perceive. The ontological nature and epistemological issues concerning unobservables is a central topic in philosophy of science.
