It's just another mind trick, enveloping the whole universe in something that we now understand (discret computer simulations).

Anyway, reality is an opinion, so any model is a valid model.

"reality is an opinion"

I like it. Can you explain further?

Off course immad, is based in the believe that using our brains as measurement tools for experiencing the universe we can only make models of it, partial maps (filtering a lot of information in the meanwhile). In this process we use our senses, experience, conditioning, prior beliefs, and other non-objective factors to create our unique map.

Every brain make his own reality tunnel (or reference frame) to experience the universe, and we may share some of it with other brains around (also called culture).

So if reality depends of the observer there must be more than one.
