SPOCK: Physical reality is consistent with universal laws.  
Where the laws do not operate, there is no reality.  
All of this is unreal.

MCCOY: What do you mean unreal? I examined Chekov. He’s dead.

SPOCK: 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: Chekov is dead because he believed the bullets would kill him.
