Summary/Abstract: Based on the greatest modern physics discoveries and theories, this article indicate the relation between discovered and observed nature, both micro and macro, and terms which are defining it. The key to explore this relations is to structure it from the perspective of realistic philosophy. By looking at it from this angle, exposes the structure how the, so called, unification theories were created by theoretical physicists. How they had to squeeze the nature into traditional terms and available back then physics measurement. It, as well, point out very basic dilemma accompanying them: Whether the exact definition, expressed in the mathematical scheme, still remains as an adequate description of its subject, i.e. reality of the external world. Whether, it does not have much in common with it anymore. Thus, this article by going through the history of modern physics, highlights the fundamental difference between a realistic and idealistic approach in science.
