The Truth is non-existent.

I fear I have overestimated your level of understanding on neurologic functions and how we perceive "reality". When I say "some people might say that reality is informational wavelengths processed by the brain", I was using that as an example as to what someone might say when faced with the question. If you don"t have the foresight to realize that, then I may be wasting my time, as it leads me to worry that you may lack the level of understanding and knowledge I was hoping to be challenged with. Regardless, the informational wavelengths I refer to are simply the information your brain receives to stimulate vision or hearing. Your body works with information it receives from the external world to create an interpretation of the world around you. This is basic neurology. These are your five senses - Sight, Sound, Taste, Touch, and Smell. Since you appear to be unfamiliar with how your brain processes these functions, I"ll walk you through the anatomy and process of each. Vision - You see with your eyes. Your eyes use light to see. Light is a type of wave. When light waves are reflected off of an object, they are focused by your cornea and pass through your pupil. The iris regulates the amount of light entering your pupil by dilating. The light is then focused on a thin tissue called the retina, which is made of millions of light sensitive nerve cells called rods and cones. The cones provide sharp and clear vision for whatever you are focused on, while the rods provide general but fuzzy peripheral vision. The light is then converted by the retina into electrical impulses and sends them through the optic nerve to the brain, which produces every image you see. Bottom line: vision is controlled by informational light waves and electrical impulses. [1][2][3] Hearing - You hear with your ears. Your ears use sound to hear. Sound is a type of wave. The outer ear, consisting of the ear canal and ear drum, allows sound to travel down the ear canal, striking the eardrum to create a vibration. The space behind the eardrum, the middle ear, contains three bones known as ossicles, which react to the vibration by oscillating, causing the fluid in your inner ear to move. The movement of this fluid causes changes in hair cells, which will then send electrical impulses to your brain, creating an interpretation of this information. Bottom line: hearing is controlled by informational sound waves and electrical impulses.[4][5] Touch - You touch with your skin. Your skin uses three different kinds of receptors to feel touch: Thermoreceptors, Nociceptors, and Mechanoreceptors. Thermoreceptors sense temperature by activating specific kinds of receptors that respond to either cold or heat. Nociceptors sense pain, as in damage made to the skin. Mechanoreceptors detect physical change. When triggered, these receptors activate action potentials, which then send an electrical impulse to your brain. Bottom line: touch is controlled by different receptors in your skin that fire electrical impulses to your brain.[6][7] Smell - You smell with your nose. Your nose uses molecules given off of objects to process the sense of smell. In the back of your nose, a group of neurons with hair like follicles called cilia interact with these molecules. The molecules attach to the cilia and trigger the various neurons that contain DNA specific to each smell. The triggered neuron relays an electrical impulse to your brain and you perceive smell. Bottom line: smell is caused by hair follicles interacting with air molecules to trigger neurons that relay electrical impulses to the brain to create the perception of smell.[8][9] Taste - You taste with your tongue. Your tongue has various types of sensory cells that react with different compounds in foods. There are five main types of taste: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and savory. Sweet reactions are caused by sugar, fructose and lactose. Salty reactions are caused by minerals such as salt or potassium. Sour reactions are caused by acidic solutions splitting hydrogen ions apart. Bitter reactions are caused by a wide variety of compounds and substances. Savory reactions are caused by glutamic and aspartic amino acids. The chemical substance that trigger these feelings alter certain proteins in sensory cells, which then transmit messenger substances to nerve cells which transmits the information to your brain through electrical impulses.[10][11] If you have even the slightest bit of intuition, you should have noted that each one of these senses are reduced to one thing: an electrical impulse. So no, my claims are not unfounded or made up. This is the product of actual research. Every single one of your experiences are caused by an electrical impulse, carrying information. You do realize what this means, do you not? This means that reality is nothing but an electrical message sent to us by our various types of receptors. I imagine you'd argue that this is irrelevant, as our bodies do this by absorbing information from the "real" world. Except it doesn't. Our bodies do not need to rely on information of any sort to create these hallucinations we experience. An example of this is a dream. When we dream, we taste, feel, hear, smell and can even taste. This is all happening in our heads, though, so it can't be reality. Except, reality takes place in our heads too. We know nothing of what the world really looks, smells, or feels like. It is beyond our comprehension. What our brain creates is simply an interpretation of the information we receive, you are not seeing the raw data. You are seeing a highly filtered version of "reality". So then, how can we know that anything is actually taking place? We can't. Ask someone in what you define as reality if you exist. They may say yes. Ask someone in what you define as a dream if you exist. They may also say yes. Everything that can happen in reality, can happen in a dream. There is no distinct difference between a dream and reality. Take lucid dreaming, for example. When one is aware they are dreaming, they often describe the experience as almost identical to real life.Everything they smell, hear, and see, is just as vivid as reality. [12] Based on this knowledge, it is entirely possible that what we experience day to day may not actually be happening in "reality". "Reality" may not even exist. This may all just be a hallucination, or a dream within a dream. Perhaps this is a form of entertainment in another dimension of existence. People hook themselves up to a machine that manipulates their neurological communications and electrical impulses, then wipe their memory to live an illusory life in a fictional universe. And no, this does not mean I believe in aliens, the illuminati, or conspiracy theories. That is you, twisting and manipulating my words and making false assumptions, effectively creating your own fallacy. And since it appears I have to make this clear, I am just listing the "entertainment" guess simply as a loose possibility, I do not actually believe it to be the case. Even so, who's to say aliens do not exist? You are stating your belief as fact. This once again demonstrates some level of ignorance and close-mindedness. If the universe is infinite as so many say, is there not an infinite potential for planets that carry life? Deeming a belief in aliens "hilarious" is quite uneducated, as countless scientists have dedicated their lives to discovering alien life. Maybe your disbelief in aliens comes from a buried sense of egotism and desire to be special. Regardless, "I have defined reality". No, you haven't. You regurgitated an online webster definition. I'm sorry, but if you use a single sentence from a dictionary to describe reality and are not capable of conjuring an original thought to describe it yourself, you are not thoughtful or intellectual enough to provide a proper challenge to my belief. That does not demonstrate any critical thought on your part. You did a quick google search on one of the most debated questions in history. "Reality is real. Yes, facts and truth exists, what are you trying to get across, none of this even begins to make sense, just complete fallacy. Your argument is completely unsound or unheard of. It is also just down right hilarious. You are seriously delusional." "Reality is real. Yes, facts and truth exists". Saying it does not make it true. You provide no logical material to support these claims. The way you state these claims is identical to a childish "because I said so" attitude. The only excuse of an argument you have provided is slandering and insulting my point of view. "Your argument is completely unsound or unheard of. It is also just down right hilarious. You are seriously delusional.". No, my beliefs are substantiated by original thought and research. And if your main argument is that my belief is "unheard of", then you are truly blind. New ideas are what allows people to evolve and change their perception. People like you, labelling thoughts that contradict mainstream consensus as "hilarious" and "delusional", promote censorship and ignorance. Just because the concept I am conveying does not make sense to you does not make them unsound, it just means you don't understand them. Treating thoughts in such a manner antagonizes freedom of thought and discourages personal judgement. I couldn't help but notice the comment you made: "There is a right and wrong, but it has to do with society". Political Correctness is not philosophy. Never use "because it matters in society" as a meaningful argument pertaining to topics like these. This is a question that pertains to the universe. Besides, saying a point of view is true because it matters to society is the equivalent of saying "everyone thinks it, so it must be true". No evolution in thought came from an ignorant attitude such as that. In conclusion, we cannot be sure reality exists. This results from the concept that our sense of reality is totally dictated by our brain's interpretation of information. We also know that our brain does not actually need to be exposed to actual information to create senses and perceptions identical to reality. Therefore, it is logical to come to the conclusion that reality is not a fact. If reality is not a fact, it is impossible to know what is true, or if the truth even exists. Also, my opponent has been unable to provide substantial evidence supporting his stance, other than to make arbitrary assumptions and misinterpretations as an argument. This has been a disappointment, to say the least. I expected critical thought, but got an online definition. Sources used: [1]: http://envisionoptical.com.au... [2]https://nei.nih.gov...
