What is the difference between perception and reality in the universe?

In summary, perception and reality in the universe are two distinct concepts that often conflict with each other. Perception is an individual's understanding and interpretation of the world around them, influenced by their experiences, beliefs, and biases. On the other hand, reality refers to the objective truth of a situation or phenomenon. While perception can shape one's understanding of reality, it can also be distorted by personal biases and limitations. In the vast and complex universe, the difference between perception and reality can be challenging to discern, and it is crucial to critically examine and question our perceptions to gain a deeper understanding of the true reality of the universe.

Hi everyone, names Ennix. I will have somewhat weird but wonderful questions to post in the uncertain future. I am not lucky enough to be a physicists but, I have a few ideas/questions/theories on what is perceived vs. what is actually going on in the universe.

I read it. Thank you, Greg. I am not here to argue the Earth is flat nor that God is not a particle. Lol. More interested in what we observe vs. what is really going on, whilst holding respect to proven human theories.
