All of those readings enter your mind through your senses.

All the x-ray, heat, whatever readings all have to pass through your audiovisual senses before you know about them. If your eyes and ears deceive you, all the fancy technology outside your eyes and ears can't help you.

We can know things outside of what the mind can process with results such as: if this thing is hot and you touch it you will catch on fire and die. The brain cannot incorrectly perceive that.

You are trying to find data to prove your theory, not simply study what is observed. It's not science. It's just conjecture.
