Namaste, that sounds like a very interesting article. Do you have a link? I would very much like to read it.

So is it a possibility that we are nothing more than some experiment?

If it's all an illusion, then the illusion itself is real. You've just renamed "reality" to "illusion", but not explained the illusion.
Something is real.
I can understand that.

An abandoned experiment that went wrong, very very wrong if you ask me.

OK, I have another question for you. How can you tell where "reality" ends and "illusion" begins?

A very interesting read, if you haven't already is, "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot. This is the book where it mentions about our eyes only actually perceiving 50% of what we see and the brain manufactures the rest.
