How do you know this?

Because everything we believe we know is because of our senses, we as humans are equipped with senses that we feel the world with, so what we believe to be true, is only true in the level that our senses allow us. But the level that we believe we know all about, is no more than an illusion, and we all live in that illusion because we all have the same senses. We all agree on what a colour is, what a sound is and on and on, but again its only one small level. As it is said, "if a tree falls and there is no one there, does it make a sound ?", well there is vibration, but no sound, there needs to be a hearing apparatus to convert the vibration into what we call sound, and this goes for everything else.
