As a chemistry major in college, I can tell you that atoms are composed in the majority of empty space. Therefore, the idea that a chair or other object is 'solid' is an illusion.
Time is a man-made construct used to measure the flow of events. Time can be distorted, as Einstein noted in his studies.
Gravity bends light and makes (for example) stars appear to be in one spot when in fact they are actually in another spot.
All these things point to the fact that much of what we consider to be 'reality' is in fact illusion.
