Take a Memo:
You could probably ask a hundred people to define 'reality' and come up with a wide range of answers. Merriam-Webster defines it as "the true situation that exists." I find their definition to be very vague and ambiguous. Who defines truth? Existence in what state?
There is no reality.
Yes, I know that is a bold statement, but hear me out. There are only individual perceptions of reality. Your reality and mine can be quite different, and almost always are. Even people who are experiencing supposedly the same reality, may have completely different perspectives of what they experience, making reality unique to them.
Our perceptions of reality are happening along a spacetime continuum of an ever-expanding universe. In fact, it is the expanding of our universe which creates what we perceive as time. Perception of reality breaks time down into past, future and present. We recognize the present as reality, but it is only our perception of reality. What we are actually experiencing is the expanding of our universe and the physical phenomenon happening as it expands.
Every thought that has been realized, every physical phenomenon that has transpired, from the start of the universe to now, is an anomaly of perception happening along a material expansion of our universe. All laws of physics, logic and reason, exist as a result of an ever-expanding universe. Atoms, subatomic particles, weak and strong nuclear forces, electromagnetism, gravity, as well as dark matter and dark energy, are all here and functioning with specific properties because of an ever-expanding universe.
They have to be because the ever-expanding universe is what give us "time" for these material and physical things to function in our perception of reality. For instance, what can "gravity" mean without time? Think about that before you laugh it off and make a stupid claim. Gravity requires time to "mean" anything. The same with electromagnetism and all other forces known to physical science. If Time = 0... nothing physical works or means anything.
So each of us are experiencing an individual perception of reality along this spacetime continuum, caused by an ever-expanding universe which creates the perception of time for us to realize our perception of material reality. There is no "universal" reality happening. For some strange reason, this concept is difficult for some humans to grasp. We tend to ignorantly live in the vacuum of our own perceived realities and never open our minds to something so challenging. We only have material physical existing, physics, science and observation because of a universe that is expanding, creating time for it to exist in.
Where did this come from? Well, we see the people with devout religious faith in their sciences, chortling about how 'Gawds' can't be real, etc. because they can't find the physical scientific evidence to support the concept... but they don't comprehend the entire possibility of realizing science or physical existence relies on a universe that is expanding, creating time (or spacetime). What does this experience we have as "time" really mean to the greater Cosmos? Our universe will one day end and "time" will be irrelevant, it can't exist without an ever-expanding universe. What happens next, time can't tell.
Some buy into the myth of reality. They come here daily to "wage war" for their ideological "side" and denigrate those who don't believe as they do, who don't have their same perceptions of reality. In their heart of hearts, they truly have convinced themselves there is only ONE reality, and it is THEIR experience alone. We should all just get on board with their perception of reality because, as Merriam-Webster says... it's the true situation that exists. For some, that "true situation" is what they've convinced themselves is ultimately the one true reality, and anyone who doesn't see it that way is obviously split from reality.
Reality exists in spacetime created by an ever-expanding universe. It is like a program running on a computer, it exists because the computer enables it to function. In this case, the "computer" is the universe, and the OS is Time.
