We tend to look at the universe through the limitations of our own perception, language, culture and experience. We call something “real” because we can observe it, measure it or understand it within the framework we have created.
But reality itself does not need our permission to exist.
Gravity did not begin to exist when Newton described it. The stars did not become real when we discovered them. And the universe does not have to conform to the way the human mind would like it to behave.
This leads to a question I find much more interesting than simply asking what we believe to be true:
Is truth something we discover about reality — or something we construct from the limits of our own perception?
I’ve been exploring this idea through philosophy, physics and the nature of reality, and it has become a major theme in my writing.
I’d be genuinely interested to hear what other people think.
Can we ever see reality as it actually is, rather than merely seeing the version of it that our minds allow us to see?

Hi everyone,

My name is Andy. I am 29 and currently living in Louth (although I have just bought a house in Co. Meath and will move there next year once it has been built).

I am both a secondary school teacher (Philosophy, Religion and English) and a college lecturer (Sociology and Philosophy).
I am lucky to have a wonderful fiancée, who is also a teacher but am looking to meet some new friends (male or female) who have an interest in film, history, travel and music.

I plan to attend a lot of concerts in Ireland and festivals around Europe once this lockdown has ended, so it would be ideal to meet some people who are also open to jumping on a plane to go and listen to some rock music!
