Quantum Reality

What is reality? What is truth? What is real, fake? How can we deem others wrong, and 
ourselves right?

First, what is reality, reality is merely what the most people think. If I’m in a room of 
blind people, colors are not real. If I am in a room of people that say 2+2 is 5, 2+2 is then, 
5. The only way we can convince others, or ourselves, is by asking other people, and 
seeing what they think. 

Studies have been done, where a person has been stuck in a room given a simple math 
problem, and been instructed to complete the problem and share answers with 9 others. 
The 9 others were told to all give false answers, eventually, the one person with the right 
answer succumbs to the pressure.

What does this tell us? That everything in the entire world is based on our perceptions. 
Therefore, since many people see/smell/taste/touch/think different things, we have no 
way to tell whether something is ‘real’, as our perceptions could be corrupted. Thus, 
nothing is ever truly real, or truly false. Nothing can be proven to be real, or false, as our 
data has a chance of being wrong, and a chance of being right. All we can do is see what 
the majority thinks, and come to the conclusion that whatever the most people say they 
see or think, is what is most likely to be true, and thus will be considered true.

Everyone in the world at one point believed the world was flat. This is of course, no 
longer the popular belief, and is thus not real. 500 yrs. from now, we too could be 
mocked for our shortsightedness, at how we believed the center of the earth, whatever the 
hell current belief is.

What I am getting to, is that it is egotistical and naïve, though completely natural, to hold 
ones beliefs above another’s.

And thus, every decision, every fact, every, everything, is a mere probability, and could 
be, entirely untrue, or true. Carrying on with the reference to the sciences in the title, true 
reality, is as impossible to reach as absolute zero. And the next time you see someone 
hauled away to the sanitarium, have a chuckle, as there is a chance, no matter how 
unlikely, that whatever he sees, could be that true reality.
