Genuine question, what is real?

Scaled doesn't mean not real.
We just put numbers on things to help us play with the reality.

Remember guy, math is a man-made tool to understand the reality.

Then is is a construct which has proven to be false

No no no, get this :
A force is a force, want it or not, you can't deny forces.
Forces are everywhere and are the basic of real world physics.
It took us awhile to understand it, but we put a nwme and a scale on it.

WE didn't created forces on pure imagination, WE observed forces and WE named and scaled it.

Yet humans as a species have constantly defined these forces

Defied or defined ?
Yeah because you won't go far with "oxygen and hydrogen makes abit of fire when combusted"

Defied

I don't think we defied the reality.
Reality defied OUR rules, but reality never changed

Eh, we kind of made up time, too. Time and space are linked and space is pretty squishy, so time's also pretty squishy.

This is true both are malleable and can be altered

Time has been based on a physical event.
We can make clock that mesures time so well than when it distort, the clock follows too.
Sooooo, he's technically still right

The universe is not real

Ergo nothing is real

Nothing in the observable universe.

I doubt it

Doubt is human emotion which can be dismissed so yes I would say in terms of science

There we go

But that is an abstract idea therefor is not real

Your previous statement that "nothing is real" could also be read as "there is reality to the concept of nothing". Idk, words.

Fair

Are you real?

i- uhhh-
Hmmm...
