I don't have to know what all of reality is to know what reality is, the same way I don't have to know all of science to know what science is. I know what reality is because I went to high-school where I learned English.
Yes, reality does exist the same way for every living thing because it exists independently from them.

Then you are incapable of understanding plain language because all I've been saying here is that the concept of measurement does not apply to reality.

If you don't believe it to be true, I'd be happy to be corrected by you pointing out what you use to address this question. I don't see how you can dodge your belief in science's ability to answer this question, but I'll be interested to see you try.
I use logic and reasoning skills. Science is one of the ways to do that.

Corrected that.
