As many people were trying to point out to you,
that's not something you can prove. You basically
responded by saying that they certainly couldn't
prove it WAS real. Correct, but I imagine they
knew that.
You're the one here who's claiming certain knowledge
of things that are unknowable.

Before I attempt a definition, tell me: Are mathematical
objects "real"? (Say the square roots of -1.)
