      This is getting into philosophy which is almost impossible to give a good answer too. I don’t think there’s any way to prove existence, it’s something you have to decide for yourself!

      Personally, I think it’s best to live like the world is real!

      I think there are two types of “philosophy” questions.

      1. ones that are written in such a way that they cannot be answered, or are paradoxical
      2. those which are really physics questions!

      I think your question is like type number 1. It can’t really be answered. Here’s another example:

      Does it make sense if I say “everything I say is a lie”?

      I prefer focusing on questions of type 2, because they can be answered. The other type can’t really be answered (so no point worrying about them) but are sometimes good for riddles etc.!

      No there isn’t really. As Evan and Ryan have pointed out this is philosophy and can only really be thought about there is no experimental way to prove it.

      I feel I exist, so therefore I do exist 🙂
