Stop asking such hard questions! :-)
But depending on who you ask, not really. For all anyone knows for sure, the person reading this is actually a brain in a jar in a lab somewhere being "fed" misinformation. (No, the Matrix guys didn't think that up, it's been a concept since before Buddha or Socrates.)
The usual answer is that while we can't know "reality" we can make logical judgments about the ideas being fed to us in our "brain jars"
Read up on Socrates, Buddhism, and maybe Existentialism for a starting place. Or email me for a dissertation... :-)

No. The ultimate problem of epistomology is that nothing can ever truly be known with 100% fact, because all things require some unproved axiom in order to be built. For all any of us know, we could just be brains in jars being feed sensory data by a huge massive computer.

"Reality is everything humans can touch, smell, see, and hear."
So what about the stuff we can't touch, smell, see or hear? Do those not exist? And we all know there is A LOT of stuff that we cannot touch, smell, see or hear....
So, it seems, you're exactly right, that every persons "reality" is a little bit different because we as people are all a little bit different.
Then, if you go a little further, all things can be reduced to simple matter, molecules, atoms, whatever....reality is one huge figment of our imagination.

Study Quantum Physics. There are many realities. All exist at the same time. That is why God knows everything, for He is the only one capable of existing in all of these at the same time.

Well sure there is. It's just assuming that it's consistent from person to person that trouble arises. Reality is highly, highly relative.

I think that even reality is subject to the regulations of relativity.

Apparently not. Einstein established the concepts which are accepted to a degree scientifically.

In Buddhism there is conventional reality and ultimate reality!

There is no reality but only each person's perception of reality.
