Space time is something that appears to you, the obsever, and only to you. There is no universal shared perception of anything or any event and therfore no common "reality" to try and suss out.

It is quite likely (rather obvious, really) that what we call reality is continuous in design, infinite in abstractions, relationships, and descriptions, yet at the same time cohesive in a single entity.

Those type of systems are not representable in computers.

You or I may be wrong about any specific aspect of reality, or fail to be aware of it.

However, we can be sure there is such a thing.

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." (Philip K. Dick)

It's kind of like the concept of agnosticism.
