Our brain constantly interprets the information it receives from the world. Does that mean we are all experiencing different realities?

Perhaps your quantum signature does not match the universe to which you
belong. Essentially, that might mean that you experience a different
reality dependent upon your universe. So that you begin experiencing a
proper reality (what everyone else is experiencing), you must find some
way of purging yourself from your current reality and matching your
quantum signature with the universe to which you belong. However, in
doing so, the uncertainty principle may apply. You might find yourself
many years in the past, or many years in the future. There's no way to
tell for sure. Now just transferring yourself from your current
universe into your default one (the one matching your signature) is a
monumental task in itself and I know of no current technology or method
that can perform the task.

WTF is quantum signature?
Did God sign my atomic nucleases?

There's only one "reality". We just experience it differently, through
our individual, unique interpreters.

For example, we see the sky blue, just because that's how the air breaks up light, filters it in a certain wavelength, recorded by our brain.
But is it really blue?
Dog or cat may see it differently?

"Blue" is just a symbol your brain uses.

Yes. It may be that if I could read my neighbor's mind, I might
find out that blue looks to him the way red looks to me. And yet,
whatever our subjective worlds look like, two different people
can sit down to play a game of Chess, or a game of Cribbage,
without encountering difficulty.

There is one reality, and the appearances of that reality to each
brain... if not identical, are at least sufficiently near isomorphism
that humans can co-operate within their shared physical reality.

It doesn't matter if the appearance of that reality is the same, or
compeletely different. What matters is that we, communicating begins,
use the same language to describe it. If what looks red to one person
looks blue to another, it doesn't matter at all if they both *call*
it green because that's what society has agreed on.

Our brain constantly interprets the information it receives from the world. Does that mean we are all experiencing different realities?
In a way a lot of people live out a computer generated hallucination called climate change modelling. Even though perceptive fiction, the early emergence of computer modelling was recognised, even in an entertaining way.



People who are mesmerised find it difficult to escape the hallucination because it is framed as exciting and novel with dire consequences attached. In such an atmosphere, it is impossible to discuss planetary climate and its core in planetary dynamics, at least that what I have found through experience.

Well, the media are masters of distorting human perception of the world.
In the movie Matrix, Morpheus said:
You have to see it for yourself." "The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."
