Because reality, like those examples, is also understood.

Fantastic, perhaps you should define what reality is and whether it's the same as what you perceive it to be.

I make no claims to understand what reality is, I know how I perceive it but am wise enough to make a distinction between my perception and to make claims about what questions I can answer with certainty about whether its nonsensical or not.

It's so much better than claiming to know, when you obviously don't.

Quote:As I have explained many times already - for anything to be measured, we require a standard of measurement that exists independently form the object being measured. Since all such standards would automatically be a part of reality - measuring it is nonsensical.

Wow pure bollocks, but impressive if you believe it to be true. Confused Fall

Since you seem to be all over what reality is, and why it cannot be measured, you need to define what you think it is is to counter your circular logic. I make no claims to know the size of reality, nor if the question is nonsensical, as you clearly believe you know what reality is and do not confuse it with how you perceive it to be.
