I didn't really do much Bill answered the question perfectly I just extended it, thank Bill.

There is a thing I thought you might pick up I was sort of expecting you would, so I will pose the question to you.

I want you to read the wiki entry on Quantum Decoherence again and I want you to consider carefully this part

So my question .... what defines reality and how would we test it?

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
