Do you think the universe is real?

Our explanations aren't deep enough to be considered foundational.  We have explanations of things and their properties, as well as some of the principles that guide them.  But while you keep insisting that I don't believe in any of it, I will keep insisting that you are wrong.  QM, atomic chemistry, classical physics, all of it is very compelling.  What isn't compelling is either your assumption, or the insistence that our shared knowledge and ideas imply that I accept your assumption.
