Since everything was united at the Big Bang everything is still united. This means that the whole universe we perceive, though, those separate hallways you were all creating as you came in here have nothing to do with reality at all. They just show how the evolution of a primate nervous system into a semi-civilized state stacks incoming signals into that kind of space. The real reality, according to the hidden variable theory, is timeless and spaceless. So any time you perceive a separation in space or an interval in time you are hallucinating.
