I would imagine that, if looked at the right way, our universe would be very simple; at least to an intelligence capable of comprehending it.
So I guess our universe isn't physical and is physical at the same time. I still can't decide how complex a universe is compared to a t-shirt though. Am I over thinking this?
According to the Quran, the Earth is separate from the sky. Don't have the time to look for it now. But it's the one people think is describing the Big Bang (hint: it's not).
I don't know why I'm getting confused about such a silly thing as a t-shirt. Maybe this is their goal? To confuse people into oblivion.
Like I said, the t-shirt is just a tiny subset (of atoms) of the universe. So unless you're looking at the unvierse as just that dark outer space, then it should be more complex than the t-shirt. Don't forget it has a variety of planets, stars, galaxies, and so on.
