quantum reality

The principal features of quantum theory contradict "cause and effect" relationships (relativity) by assuming that random, spontaneous events can and do occur within a quantified limit (specified by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle). Therefore, a future event (or non-event) has both a multiple probability (statistical) and a quantum probability of 50/50 that is not predictable.

As the observer is outside the event horizon, there exists two realities; that is , a state of existing (or being) and that of not existing.

Just as it may be that one dies, one does not "know" when one dies; the quantum state would be both dead and alive while the relative state would be dead or alive.

An again, reality is based on the perceptive analysis of the observer; at any given time the observer is outside the event horizon and is in the present or the past.

However, there is an relativistic assumption that there exists a continuum for all sets, but this cannot be made from a quantum state.

Quantum reality transmutates the objective into the subjective, and the phyical into the metaphysical.

reality

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

"Hmmm? You know I had a speech, you know, my... my integrated-projected-global-tele-network system bloody system-system. But you know, if that's what the worlds coming to I don't want to be in it. No I don't want that. I don't want to be in some sort of cyber-space-hypervirtual bloody reality. I don't want that- exchanging e-mails with some old age bloody hippies with more information at their fingertips than is safe to know about. I don't want that! What kind of reality is that, huh, you know, with a thirteen-amp plug on the end of it? Huh? Huh?... That can be un-plugged like that? Come-on I'm going." Edina Monsoon, Absolutely Fabulous

The only religion that is true.

In the Church of Reality we have one belief: if it is true, then we believe it.

Repliku

A character from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Created by Vexen from data taken from the real Riku. Repliku then attacked, and lost to the real one, then confronted Sora, but also lost. His memories were then switched by Namine, thinking he and her were childhood friends. With his new memories, he found Sora, and warned him to stay away from Namine, but when it appeared they both had the same memory, they fought, but Repliku lost once more. Sora and Repliku continued their fights on the floors of Castle Oblivion. On their last fight, Repliku cheated, and was about to kill Sora, when Namine stepped in and destroyed his heart, turning him into a lifeless puppet (metaphor, not really a puppet). On the final floor, Sora confronted Marluxia, and the latter asked Sora if he would give up his heart like Repliku, but then the clone stepped in, not knowing how he was still alive, decided to join forces with Sora, and defeat Marluxia. They eventually did, but Repliku rejected Sora's offer to help him. He wondered off, eventually being found by Axel, who told him if he killed Zexion, he would gain more powers. He did, and with his new powers, he fought the real Riku at Twilight Town. Repliku lost, and before fading away, asked what happens to a fake's heart. Riku answered the same place as his. Repliku laughed at this, and died. Although not his real name, Repliku is used by his fans to give him more of a character.

Riku Fan: The real Riku owns Repliku!
Repliku Fan: Bull crap! Repliku would've won if he let Namine die, but he didn't cause he's a kind an compassionate person! Without a heart as big as a lion!
Riku Fan: Okay...

reality tv

On the top of the list of American oxymorons, the only aspect of reality that it accurately portrays the American value that you have to be a backstabbing piece of bastard to survive in corporate America just like in shows like Survivor.

Reality TV is the fakest piece of shit ever broadcasted on TV. Except for all the backstabbing and the complete willingness to sacrifice friendships in the name of being self-centered and obsessed with winning something that isn't really worth the price, which is, unfortunately a very real part of our country.
