Spectrums of Light

please, love, let's make
no impartial vow
--Jewel

Humans experience Life by five, arguably six, senses. But are our senses 100% accurate and complete? Examine this. Some sunlight appears white, but there is no wavelength of light that is white (http://www.thinkquest.org/). This phenomena is a combination of colors translated by our eyes. All the information gathered by our senses and organized by our brains could logically be false or, at best, misinterpreted. And how much relevant information to each nugget of knowledge is lost and therefore cannot be considered as a total exposition by our intelligent minds?

I believe this is why cutting edge universities teach that knowledge is not necessarily truth.
