In the words of the great Einstein, "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistant one."
Yea, Einstein was poetic. We know this. Quote-mining him, though, is reprehensible. Questioning whether or not reality is real is nonsensical and inapplicable.

Quote:
Anything is possible.
We don't know this. A square can not be round. Up can not be down. True can not be false. 2 + 2 can not be anything but four. What we do seem to know is that not everything is possible.

You should read some David Hume.
