I mean, if supernature exist, can we observe it directly? And can we explain the process that occurs in it? I don't think so (well, because I don't think that a supernature do exist anyway).

Now there is a proposal - how do you reckon we could tackle that? I mean, it could be that such detection is impossible, but suppose we take the idea half seriously - perhaps trying to study various physical processes in close proximity to a head as compared to further away. Maybe such a study would delineate a region round the body roughly in the shape of an aura!
Would you like to do such a study and try to publish it - particularly if you found an effect! My point is that your proposal might be feasible, but there is absolutely no serious effort being directed to finding out.
