How do you know if your perception or that of others is the correct interpretation of reality

As a society, we are constantly trying to determine what is real and what is not. We see it in politics, religion, science, and art. There are many ways to determine what is real and what is not.The first method is the scientific method. This method uses several steps to prove or disprove an idea. The first step is to observe something in nature and record it as accurately as possible. Next, one must conduct experiments on this observation in order to test its validity. Finally, one must draw conclusions based on these results and then publish them so others can build upon them or disprove them as needed.

The second way is through logic and reason. The best example of this is math where one begins with simple facts like 1 + 1 = 2 and builds upon those basic facts by using logic until they reach complex conclusions like how many books would fit on a shelf if each book was 4 inches thick? This type of thinking allows people to make accurate predictions about the future based on past events or even predict things that have never happened before such as winning lottery numbers or predicting stock market trends months before they happen because of patterns already seen in history.
