What is the nature of reality?

Answer :reality

Reality means that which existed in the past, exists in the present and will exist in future

Answer

Reality: that which has been fully actualized, adheres to truth, remains absolute, and cannot be changed. The nature of reality in physics includes time, force, motion, space, and matter.

Reality is that which exists entirely apart from independent observation. On earth, reality is defined by sanity and the potential for our minds to perceive that which is, that which has existed, and that which will exist. Observations of reality vary, but that which is, cannot be altered by our changing human nature and our changing views. For instance, if everyone in the world believes the earth is flat, the reality that it is spherical will not change; observation implies illusion of what is or what has taken place. History cannot be changed, people's motives cannot be redefined by the law; thoughts and intents exist in a person's heart and mind--therefore, their reality may only be known to them--and this is a personal but very real "reality."

The nature of a "personal reality" could be seen in a schizophrenic, where the individual may see and hear things that aren't real--but this terrible reality is very real to the mentally deranged. Whether it is a virtual reality, or the truth--reality exists apart from illusion. A popular movie trilogy, The Matrix, reflects this notion in the false world the main character, Neo, escapes from, only to find himself in a new terrifying reality that just days before he only "believed" or envisioned it could have been real. What he discovered was that the world he once lived in was only a virtual reality created to hold people captive in their minds. This reality was a dreamworld, and the series portrayed a very interesting view on how our existence may not be what it seems in our universally accepted "reality."
