Yup. One time I stopped believing in physics, and every atom in my
body ceased to exist. Terrible way to lose weight, believe me. ;-)

Seriously, if you are seeking a real answer, it would help to have a
clearer idea of what you want. For the price you've set, you can
probably expect a paragraph and maybe a link or two. More details on
your needs will almost certainly result in a better quality of
response from Researchers and Commenters.

Your question is far too inspecific. Please clarify what you mean by
"physics", and what you mean by "reality".

And all this time I've been thinking that Pinky is transcendental,
ethereal intelligence forced to abode in a physical shell in order to
communicate with us.
Another misconception exploded.  ;(

Maybe he/she means: Is reality physics ?

There appear to be two camps on the subject, as this example from The
Onion News clearly depicts:

Well, yes.  Maybe physics is a reality, but if you believe enough,
have enough faith, you can overcome it  - you know -  maybe not be
able to walk on water but just to fool the scales a little.  ;-)

Many introductory textbooks use the "Scientific Method" as the basis for
verifying physical theories (laws) against what is observed in the laboratory.
If what is observed in the laboratory is considered to represent reality then
any science such as physics, which purports to use the "Scientific Method"
as the basis for the principles conveyed by that science (and does in fact
rigorously apply the "Scientific Method" to verify its theories) then one could
certainly conclude that that science does represent reality.

"A" reality, yes.  "The" reality, no.
