Reality refers to the state or quality of being real, encompassing all that is actual rather than imagined. It includes everything that exists in the physical world and can be experienced through perception, observation, or scientific investigation.

From Old French 'realite', from Latin 'realitas' meaning 'essence, reality'.

Reality is what we experience and can prove exists, like trees, houses, and people.

What is reality? It's the state of things as they actually exist, not as they may appear or be imagined
Is reality objective? Philosophers debate this, but generally it refers to things that exist independently of our minds
Can reality be altered? Our perception of reality can be influenced, but the underlying physical world remains constant
