It may seem you are being overwhelmingly sarcastic but there are those who believe our universe may be a hologram of sorts, an illusion is another hypothesis, an illusion of our very own existence, consciousness, self-awareness has also been suggested. It seems that life, our very selves runs more far afield from reality than we could ever imagine, like some Obama supporter.
Behold the void, it is not
the void of nothingness
but thine own intellect,
unobstructed , blissful and shining.
Buddhist prayer.
