I hope what I wrote made sense, though it was long.

Wow, you really thought all this through.
I don't think its an illusion, but I have come to the following conclusions about the nature of the universe.
1. There is an objective reality.
2. The objective reality can only be observed through relative means (sensory experiences, human cognition, measurement, etc.) and therefore it can only be known relatively.
3. Our relative understanding of the objective universe (science, philosophy, etc.) is based upon standardized relative measurements (time, length, mass, etc.) and is therefore limited to certain parameters we have defined.
4. Therefore, there is also a relative reality based upon human perception of the objective reality.
5. The only reality that has meaning to humans is the relative one, since if we did not exist, there would be no one to percieve the objective one. Whereas the relative reality would cease to exist with us.
And this is the tough one.
6. Every individual experiences the relative reality differently.
Now if you have any contention with any of those points then let me know.
