Just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean we can’t observe it and characterize it. This line of thinking is so limited because it only considers our senses in how they’re applied directly.
Is reality actually what we experience? Who knows. Does it matter? Not really, I’d argue. There are provable facts underlying the reality we experience which are true regardless of an individual or even a collective’s perception of them. Gamma rays exist without you perceiving them. But they are provably true. Their effects can be measured. They can be observed. If they couldn’t, then we would never know they exist and thus they’d in essence not exist for us. But would that matter?


While often true, they still end up making life better for millions of people often enough to be worth it.
