That is not how it works, I am afraid. You are the one trying to prove something (e.g. world is real). I am saying that this idea is wrong. What the 'alternative' hypothesis could be, I do not know. Now, ask yourself, if we happened to be talking about God, would you let me away with the above statement? I do not think there are many atheists on this forum that would let it pass. As they say, the burden of proof is on you because you are bringing forward a theory, I am only disagreeing with it by highlighting its flaws.
