An unfalsifiable one at that. Unless it is possible to perceive a world independent of light?

Close your eyes. Touch the ground. You have now perceived a world independent of light.

Sir, we are experiencing light through our senses when we touch the ground. Are you familiar with how our bodies sample piezoelectrically?

Piezoelectricity is not photons. It may generate photons, but is not created by photons.
