Have you read the Wrinkle in Time series? That question came from The Swiftly Tilting Planet.

Actually Philosophers like Plato and Rene Descartes well as many others had postulated that question. Plato's Cave illustration is one and Brain in a Vat is another etc.,etc. Movies like the Matrix were based on those considerations.

Oh. I actually never saw The Matrix in full. Only bits of the fist one. Not sure if I liked it yet because I never saw enough to decide on it.

Basically it's a version of Plato's Cave. How do you know that what you believe as real is real? Can you prove it? I liked it because it put forth some basic Philosophy most people never encounter. Can you prove you are real? Can we even know what is real?

That's something to think about. What is real can be harder to prove these days with multimedia and the ever improving CGI.

Is a photo real or an imitation of reality. And since your eyes are like a camera and your brain is an interpreter is what you see real? Or likened to CGI?

Most of the time I can tell when something is CGI by the quality of the picture. I will say that Jurassic Park did some of the very best and everything looked almost real...in fact some of it did look real. The T-rex in the first movie was both a puppet and a CGI rendering. Even the truck was a CGI when the T-rex was tearing it apart and it didn't look any different than the real one the characters were riding in. So they've gotten pretty good.

So aren't your eyes and brain merely replicating and interpreting electrical signals and can you be sure that what you're seeing is real?

By not over thinking it. Not everything is so complicated.
