Doctor, in your opinion, what killed Mister Chekov? A piece of lead in his body. Wrong. His mind killed him. Come on, Spock. If you’ve got the answer, tell us. Physical reality is consistent with universal laws. Where the laws do not operate, there is no reality. All of this is unreal. What do you mean unreal? I examined Chekov. He’s dead. But you made your examination under conditions which we cannot trust. We judge reality by the response of our senses. Once we are convinced of the reality of a given situation, we abide by its rules. We judged the bullets to be solid, the guns to be real, therefore they can kill. ---

Kirk asks McCoy what he thinks and, without examining anything and just standing there McCoy says something like, “Well, in my professional opinion, that man’s dead.” ---
