GodI don’t believe that the universe exists. I believe that the only thing that exists is God and he is more than the universe. The universe is an extension of God into space and time. That’s the premise I start from in my work, that so-called “reality” is a mass delusion that we’ve all been required to believe for reasons totally obscure.
Philip K. Dick
- Reality (Wikipedia)
Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent within a system, as opposed to that which is only imaginary, nonexistent or nonactual. The term is also used to refer to the ontological status of things, indicating their existence. In physical terms, reality is the totality of a system, known and unknown.
