Having only accomplished college-freshman physics and chemistry, and that ages ago, I have very little idea about gravitons, etc. I do, however, propose that if scientists build a machine to prove that gravitons exist, THEY WILL NOT BE CHANGING REALITY. They will simply be exposing some part of reality which has ALWAYS BEEN THERE. Suppose, to take it a step further, scientists in this decade 'prove' that gravitons exist and scientists in the next decade disprove them. How many times would you say reality has changed? You're wrong. IT HASN'T CHANGED AT ALL. Please, please, say you understand this now. Where you've buttocksed yourself beyond recognition is on the semantics of it. The word reality ONLY MEANS things which are real, which have existence. We know this because we made it up to mean that, just as if I invented a word - say 'Verschnugle' - to mean 'things which are red'. To say some parts of reality are real and some parts aren't, or that 'reality' changes depending on who's looking at it, is at best merely uninformed to the max, and at worst the most hideous sort of stoned undergraduate late-night guff-talking, something along the lines of, 'Hey, maybe what I think is brown is, like, some other color for you, maaaannnnn. Like orange... Yeaaahhh, dewd! I'm blowing my own miiinnnd!!!'
