Does reality exist?

When you read this question, you think "why of course it does, because reality is reality". It's very difficult to think that reality is not there, that it doesn't exist. The questioning of reality comes from the studying of quantum physics. An atom only appears in a certain place if you observe it, so technically, an atom is spread out in multiple places at one time until a conscience mind observes. For example, a beam of light could be a wave or a particle at the same time; the only thing that decides what it is, is how we observe it. As soon as we stop observing the light, the light is now, in theory, everywhere. This causes quantum physicists to question whether or not reality exists. Since things change when we observe them, this leads people to think that without us observing them, there is nothing to determine what is what, and everything we know as humans could be wrong. Our senses tell us what is there and that is what have come to know as reality, but is that actually what it is?

This is a poorly done description on this topic, and if you want a better understanding of what I'm talking about, watch this video and many more related to this video to get a better picture.

I hope you enjoyed your philosophy lesson for the day.
