The ways to know reality?

But, in the end, we still do not know if science is the only means of understanding reality. You may think it is, but that doesn't necessarily make it true. For example, there may exist other dimensions and/or regions of space in the universe in which the laws of physics become totally obsolete and everything that happens there is completely unpredictable and unexplainable by science. If that was the case, which is not impossible, then this would invalidate the idea that science is the only means of understanding reality.

Reality is reality, ......

The laws of physics may indeed only be local.

That is not to say that science cannot describe them, it means the laws we use here are not suffcient to describe them, yet (Optomistic).

If something exists, there is a mechanism by which it exists and that mechanism can be described with science. That science may vary from place to place, but it still exists.
