Everything that we see taste touch hear smell feel think experience is nothing but electrical impulses interpited by our brain. for example we were taught from birth to recognize certain objects say like a cup. everyone knows what a cup is, when you want a drink you get a cup you know that when you see a cup it will be there and when you reach out your hand you were taught that if you touch the cup you will feel mass there by confirming the exsistence of the cup. but when it is nothing more but electrical impulses being interpeted by your brain is the cup there? take a schizophrenic for example, schizophrenic's hear and see things that we do not ,what they see or hear is nothing but impulses interpeded by the brain so is what they hear real? some would say no. what about what they see? some delusions are so real they can hold conversations with people who we do not see, what would happen if they tried to touch one of their delusions? would their brain feel, hum electrical impulses
