They sense electromagnetic radiation in the range 0.4-0.7 microns. They probably have inherent Maxwell equations center in their brain.

Also babies have gravitational field sensor - they intuitevely try to grab onto something (like a finger) when about to fall. I think, they have Newton equation built-in somewhere either in heart or in muscles (but may be in brain). May be even Einstein equation, because when babies fall free, they tend to follow geodesic trajectory (which in weak gravitational field is ellipse, small part of which is almost a parabola which they follow in free fall)?

Babies certainly know a lot about collisions of nitrogen molecules. How else to explain that they sense certain rate of collisions of N molecules (air) - in the range 20 Hz-20 KHz?

Also, babies know about complex quantum electromagnetic phenomenon called black body radiation. It was noticed that in case of fire babies tend to move avay from intensive source of black-body electromagnetic radiation (fire), even if maximum of this radiation is well in infrared range.

Ho do newborn babies know such complex phenomena while even modern science can not always address such complex questions?

I do not know. May be someone here does?
