SORRY. WE PERCEIVE REALITY AND WE GET BETTER AND BETTER AT THE SCALE OF IT.

That doesn’t mean that many people are not still the victims of solipsism who cannot separate the self from either others, or reality.

—“…nobel laureates…”—

I wouldn’t be too impressed with nobel laureates. We have a lot of wrong nobel laureates and some what were disastrous. Statements are false or not false regardless of who makes them.

One observation that helps us is that detailed knowledge of a particular does not translate to general understanding. This is most common in economics where just about everything is increasingly counter-intuitive at each increasing level of precision.

So that said, (a) any cognitive scientist of any skill will will state that the internally composited experience of any number of different observers of the same phenomenon will differ, but it is the commonality of the observation, deflated of that information supplied subjectively by the process of internal construction from fragmentary stimuli that provides test of our fragmentary perceptions of reality.

That said, the cumulative observation of reality independent of fictions that we ourselves add by process of imagination turns out to represent reality both apprehensible by our senses and apprehensible by proxy through instrumentation far more capable than our senses.

As far as we know all that increasing cognitive and sensory power of the human mind would do is increase the scale and accuracy of the model of reality we each imagine, but wha twe consider ‘reality’ (existence : that which persists independent of our actions and experience) is extremely accurate and increases in quality as our collective knowledge increases.

There is no magic.
