Proof: The world is real

Modern medicine has proved that we can produce various senses such as sight, hearing and so on by stimulating the relevant areas in the human brain. Our entire experience is nothing but a collection of neural impulses. Based on this, the famous American logician Hilary Putnam proposed a famous thought experiment called "brain in a vat": someone's brain was taken out by a mad scientist and soaked in formalin solution , and was connected to various electrodes to simulate various sensations to stimulate the brain, making him feel that he is still living in the original world, not in a fish tank, and this person may be you who is reading this text! Later, the Wachowski brothers got inspiration from this experiment, which led to the filming of "The Matrix".

Existence is the first requirement of all life, so human beings are very interested in issues related to sensation. Since the ancient Zhuang Zhou Mengdie and Plato's cave prophecy, our speculation and reasoning about the reality of the world have never stopped. Is it true that we perceive the world? Is there a more real world behind this world? The cave prophecy believes that our world is like a cave, and we are just poor bastards tied up in the cave to watch shadow puppets, and the real world is outside the cave.
"If reality is what you can feel, smell, taste, and see, then reality is nothing more than electrical signals generated in your brain." This is a sentence in the movie "The Matrix" famous lines. He expressed the grim possibility that our world might not be real. Perhaps we only perceive certain aspects of the world with limited senses, but cannot grasp the existence around us from the whole. Even as Russell said: The world may have been created a few minutes ago, but there are humans who remember the virtual past.

Philosophy, theology, and atheism are all strongly represented in The Matrix. Gnostic believers will also notice many related themes, as well as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity, which contain enlightenment, nirvana, and rebirth. Concepts, with a deep understanding of Hinduism and Buddhism, involve free will versus fate, and also use Hindu chants, ideas, illusions, karma, and multiple perspectives of natural existence in the film's soundtrack.
