is everything we experience just a complex illusion? are we alljust blips and blobs of data in a really big space computer? consider the evidence:

• all observed phenomena are, at least in principle, calculable; there's nothing that exists which can't be described mathematically.
  
  
• the finite speed of light allows for asynchronous computation of distant reference frames
  
  
• the cutting edge of quantum chronodynamics suggests the underlying structure of the universe is a grid, just like you'd expect inside a computer.
  
  
• many objects appear to be too simplified. for example, when you leap on a turtle shell, the turtle doesn't go shooting out wearing a tank top and striped boxer shorts.
