"Blindsight" by Peter Watts is exactly about that.
"The case against reality" is also about that.
But as far as I know, not many scientists think this is a reasonable idea.
Ultimately it doesn’t matter if it’s reasonable. If it were true, life would be absurd. So, philosophically, we can assume it’s untrue because the alternative means being wrong about it doesn’t matter.
