True, according to the philosophical position known as realism. Realism posits that reality exists independently of our sensory experiences, perceptions, or interpretations.

  • So, this position maintains that objects like rocks have properties that are inherent to them, such as being separate and hard, whether or not there are any conscious beings to perceive them.
