Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean by "something reasonable, that reality is virtual"? In many ways, by definition, reality is what is real not virtual. I have other questions, but this is a good start :)

When I say that reality isn't "real" (which is awkward for sure) what I'm referring to is that we have a perception of space and time which is absolute and inviolable, when it's likely space and time (as we understand them) are artifacts of our perceptual lens, and "reality" is based on something more akin to consensus than immutable laws. From this perspective you could view physics more as a communication/consistency protocol for consciousness than the raw nature of the universe.
Hm, from what I know about physics, time and space are actually much more absolute and inviolable than our imperfect perceptions. the laws are quite different than our intuition, but everything is water-tight and there is no room for any deviation. the smallest of deviations would mean multiple nobel prizes, so ppl are searching really hard to find any, without success. On the other hand, if we talk about our perception, the things we see around us are of course a virtual reality constructed by our brain to model the input from our sensors, but this is normal because there is no alternative. But it seems to me you are saying smth different?
