Qualia aren't real, your brain just makes you behave and report as though they were real, and behavior and reporting are all objectively explicable physical phenomena. There is nothing you can offer as evidence that qualia exist as actual things and not just as abstract reference points the brain uses to get convenient behavior out of you. That's the trick. Stop assuming everything your brain leads you to believe is true actually is, most of it isn't. There is nothing stopping the brain from making you believe untrue things are true, and that's not a philosophical problem that extends beyond the realm of physics.
