Gravity seems holographic. What does that mean for reality?

    space is an illusion...The only thing that is absolute is consciousness, on top of which all illusions stand.

      This doesn't make sense. Which consciousness is absolute? Yours or mine? Because I can't see your consciousness; I can only infer its existence. You can't see my consciousness; you can only infer its existence.

        Ours. Or every ones..We can easily accept that we inhabit the same spacetime. Why is it hard to imagine the same for consciousness?

          Because deceit and lies exist.

            We inhabit the same spacetime, but we could be seeing different things.

      Consciousness is the greatest illusion of them all.

        Get a load of this. You can have only consciousness and still have a sensation of a full universe.

        Tell me again how Consciousness is an illusion..

      All possible subsets of a Universal Set can be considered as Observers. So a Power Set is collection of observers. Power Set of Power Set is another such collection. So on and so forth. Powersets all the way up.
