Is Reality Actually Real?
“What Is Reality?” Or “Is this Reality?” are the ultimate questions that scientists, philosophers, and other thinkers keep asking. We want to understand everything that there ever was and is now and ever will be in or outside of the universe. But the closer we get to answers, the further away we get from understanding the true nature of reality.

Taken at face value, there is no doubt that the egg came before the chicken an estimated billion years ago, whereas chickens have been around for just 10,000 years. Unless we eat them first, we tend to think of eggs…
Why do most of us believe in God, Gods, or Intelligent Design in the first place? Beliefs go back to the beginning of time. We have an innate need to believe in some higher existence (afterlife) to explain why we…

To prove that anything actually exists, we must first decide if we exist. We’ve all heard the quote “I Think Therefore I Am” by a French philosopher and mathematician, René Descartes (1596–1650). Because of this, we can be pretty sure…

This is what Wikipedia says about REALIY.
Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent within a system, as opposed to that which is only imaginary. The term is also used to refer to the ontological status of things, indicating their existence. In physical terms, reality is the totality of a system, known and unknown.
Philosophical questions about the nature of reality or existence or being are considered under the rubric of ontology, which is a major branch of metaphysics in the Western philosophical tradition. Ontological questions also feature in diverse branches of philosophy, including the philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophical logic. These include questions about whether only physical objects are real (i.e., physicalism), whether reality is fundamentally immaterial (e.g. idealism), whether hypothetical unobservable entities posited by scientific theories exist, whether a ‘God’ exists, whether numbers and other abstract objects exist, and whether possible worlds exist. Epistemology is concerned with what can be known or inferred as likely and how, whereby in the modern world emphasis is put on reason, empirical evidence and science as sources and methods to determine or investigate reality.
