Double slit / quantum eraser definitely suggests to me that we don't understand some very fundamental aspects of the universe. If I think about the scale of the universe, points in time before the universe, or why there is something rather than nothing at all, really scrambles my brain.

I can see both your side and the other commenters side. I think it likely your suggestion isn't true - there is no strong evidence for it and I think therefore the default position should be 'it most likely isn't so but the door is open to convince me otherwise'.

I sincerely hope that isn't our reality because we would then find ourselves in a weird recursive situation where we can never understand the total system.
