16 Pics That Prove Reality Is Stranger Than Fiction

There are many hypotheses about existence itself. Among them is a theory called the “simulation hypothesis,” according to which nothing we see is actually real — or not in the way we understand the word “real.” The theory states that everything is an illusion. It probably sounds crazy to you, but sometimes certain things happen that make us doubt everything.

Bright Side has seen a lot of images where reality seems to have broken for an instant, and we put together the following list with some of the best examples. See what you think when you get to the end.
