The Veil of Scale
One other thing worth mentioning here before someone else beats me to it, is that many phenomena with respect to our observable reality is obscured, including but not limited to most energy waves.
The "measurable properties" of some phenomena are just too minute to be perceived via the visual mechanism. With energy waves, not only are some of the wavelengths measured in nanometers or even Planck lengths, but also the larger waves being nothing but a flow of energy particles are imperceptible anyway; it's just that we happen to have a 'built-in' biological receiver that is tuned to a particular band of the spectrum where everything else is invisible to us(too big or too small), i.e. we don't get those 'radio' stations.
