    I am asking the ultimate question, what is reality?

    Is there an objective reality, or is our reality limited to our physical perceptions of it?

    What is energy, and are we energy or are we matter?

    David Bohm a well respected theoretical physicist is one of the founders of the holographic universe hypothesis. The theories seem to be backed up by recent discoveries of quantum entanglement, as well as string theory and quantum theory.

    So I'm asking the question, what is reality? energy? matter? or something else like perception?

    HA! perfect answer.

    I think you are dangerously close to believing string theory to be fact. let the science work. don't force it, wait for proof.

    Have you browsed the contribution of Buddhism in this respect?

    This is very much to the heart of a Buddhist, the emptiness of it all, life as something we create for ourselves.
