Reality is mostly what we perceive and our perception is limited Physical Realities

Don't Rely On What You See Can we rely on what we see? Reality is mostly what we perceive and our perception is limited Physical Realities : If all that we ever know are the images that appear in our minds, how can we be sure there is a physical reality behind our perceptions? Is it not just an assumption? My answer is: Yes, it is an assumption; nevertheless, it seems a most plausible one. For a start, there are definite constraints on my experience. I cannot, for example, walk through walls. If I try to, there are predictable consequences. Nor can I, when awake, float through the air or walk upon water. Moreover, my experience generally follows well- defined laws and principles. Balls thrown through the air follow precisely defined paths. Cups of coffee cool at similar rates. The sun rises on time. This predictability is consistent. We all experience similar patterns. More Than We Imagined: The simplest way, by far, accounting for these constraints and for their consistency - is to assume that there is, indeed, a physical reality. We may not know it directly, but it is there. To reveal the nature of this underlying reality has been the goal of much scientific endeavour, and over the years, scientists have elucidated many of the laws and principles that govern its behaviour. Yet curiously, the more deeply they have delved into its true nature, the more it appears that physical reality is nothing like we imagined it to be. Actually, this should not be too surprising. If all we can imagine are the forms and qualities that appear in consciousness, then these are unlikely to be appropriate models for describing the underlying physical reality.
