sense perception

is nothing but an illusion... there are only atoms and a void and there is only the phenomenal perception of a sweet as sweet, a cold as cold, a color as color, and order itself only as a matter of convention.

By convention sweet is sweet, by convention bitter is bitter, by convention hot is hot, by convention cold is cold, by convention colour is colour. But in reality there are atoms and the void. That is, the objects of sense are supposed to be real and it is customary to regard them as such, but in truth they are not. Only the atoms and the void are real. Democritus
