 How do you define ‘reality’? Is it just physical?

Reality is not just defined by the physical. Most of us define our existence by the physical world but we can only go by what we actually know and can prove. 

We know that we exist thru our senses and that we can interact with our surroundings. 

However, to prove an object (or a person), actually exists on the quantum level is another story. There is also the non-physical and the Metaphysical. 

The further we delve into the realms of Inner Space, the trickier it is to define what exactly is happening within, say a quark for instance. In the non physical realms, there is the astral projection aspect,  transcendental outer body experiences and so on, which are also tricky to prove. 

The most reliable info being the test to see if there is life after death. This consists of putting items on the tops of shelves and high levels, which patients (legally dead and revived) later describe with accuracy. 

The test proves that we at least project from the body and can return to it. Beyond that is the Metaphysical: Schrödinger's cat, Plato’s Cave, Monkeys and Typewriters and humanists etc. 

Then we can branch off to other things such as Neo and Proto-physics and the concepts of time and space and alternate realities. 

None of which can be proved either. So ultimately we each choose our own version of reality and commune with others who share in that reality. 

Whether we believe in God or decide to gas six million Jews, we require validation by tipping the balance of the status quo. 

Therefore reality is not just defined by the physical but by a series of things, pertaining to personal belief.
