Saying that qualities, qulia, or subjective perceptions are "illusions" is like saying apples are fruit. You're just redescribing them.

I recall that we had debates on this subject in which we each presented our perspectives and our criticisms of the opposing viewpoint. I don't recall anyone apponting you judge of the matter. So you're only begging the question when you speak of what's been "demonstrated."

You seem to be lashing out emotionally here, out of resentment that I'm not entirely convinced by what you have to say. Sorry, but my obligation is to my daemon or inner vision of the truth, as it were, not to you. I don't owe you fealty.

Einstein did predict the extreme warping of spacetime, but his theory of relativity doesn't explain what happens at the source of that warping in a blackhole. Talk of the "singularity" is just a placeholder until there's greater understanding of quantum gravity.
