So, look at your closet. All of the stuff you can fit into your closet doesn't correspond to the volume of your closet but to a 2D surface area surrounding the volume of your closet.

Science knows this and you see it in things like quantum mechanics and the universe as a Hologram.What we observe is not nature itself. This goes to the heart of this. There's no objective reality outside of our point of view of reality.

This is great and all but how does this belief, in any way, solve or even help issues humans face in this illusion of a third dimension?
Things like starvation, genocide, child sex trafficking, beheadings etc? Are these illusions?
This seems like an intellectual exercise of over educated first world thinkers who are safely inside their academic bubbles, safe from real issues real people face in the real world.

A fundamental scientific assumption called local realism conflicts with certain predictions of quantum mechanics. Those predictions have now been verified, with none of the loopholes that have compromised earlier tests.

This is one of my favorite sci-fi topics.
Yes, we could be living in a simulated reality where all the universe is running on a computational grid, and we are merely intelligent sub-routines. But I call this science fiction, as there is at present no way to falsify the idea.
Here is one of my favorite articles on the subject. www.bottomlayer.com...

You're kind of going off the rails.
You should go outside.
You don't think my comment has philosophical implications?
Your title and content make objective claims that are not proven science and purely lie in the realm of the theoretical. That's awesome but that's not reality.
