What people call senses are in fact just electrical impulses in the brain telling you what the world is. It is not necessarily the truth of the space around you.
For instance sight. Seeing is as a result of electrical impulses telling the brain that a certain type of light has prejected onto your retina. The brain in turn tells you that you are seeing a colour. The world is actually theorised (obviously we cannot see it ourselves) to be actually on a grayscale meaning there are no colours as we know them, just the brain's interpretation.
This is the way it is for all of the "senses". They simply tell your brain that certain things are happening. Senses are an interpretation of the world surrounding you not an actuality.
I would explain more but am out of time. I'll get back to this thread with the technicalities.

I would agree except the nose involve chemical exchanges due to recognizing different odors.
