Reality is all about perspective. If you brought up a child telling him the numbers ended at 10, not even giving him the idea of numbers then he wouldnt know any better without outside simulation or the inward ability to question what is after 10. I think the questioning can only come after interation with other people.
Take a baby, leave it ...[text shortened]... a pink sun. That would be its reality. Your reality is defined by what you have learned.
Doesn't the universe present a decent face to all?

Its gettting out of perspective. For the most part reality is only importaint to yourself. The child who grew up in the controled room with the pink sun could be told the sun is infact a grape fruit and given maths and proof to prove it. By our standards the maths would be wrong, by his they would be totally correct. That is the nature of reality.
Yea. But why would there be a pink sun?

Our idea of light and the sun could just be as mad and grape fruits in the sky.

Prove me wrong :-)
How is your reality more real then the pink sun child?
Or was your question about reality not on this aspect of it?
My reality is not really real. It is an illusion. Just like yours.

Then consider.
When the most Royal Chicken was but an egg.
I did tell him that "unless you are serious about leaving don't cry about it. The world will make us 'trivial' soon enough. It doesn't need our help."
he left. The US to England.
Why?
snark.... I am relying on a "few good men" to rescue this thread. Come on RC. Help me out here. What is "Reality"?

greyeyes has hit the nail squarely on the head (from my perspective)
I agree. So.
What about the things that just "wig us out"?
errr... let me guess.
Nothing "weird" has ever happened to you?
