About This Quote

Reality is, you know, the tip of an iceberg of irrationality that we've managed to drag ourselves up onto for a few panting moments before we slip back into the sea of the unreal. This quote by Stephen Hawking is about how we can know anything we want to know, but we need to use our own rational mind to understand it. We are not just calling reality real because it is real on our physical senses. We are making the world more real on our mind by creating new concepts or ideas about reality. It is also possible that some people have not created many new concepts about reality. It is more probable that they will be able to interact with this reality.
