    If you, me and every person and thing in the cosmos were actually characters in some giant computer game, we would not necessarily know it. The idea that the universe is a simulation sounds more like the plot of “The Matrix,” but it is also a legitimate scientific hypothesis...

    We could be, but there would be no way to tell really, it could be many things, what if it's all a collective dream? Pretty terrible dream, but you know.

    Surely, if it was.. I'd be better looking and have cute girls forming a queue outside my door. Unfortunately that's not the case. Sad

    Oh well, one can dream.

    Well if this is a computer simulation, then in my case it's gotta be the most boring one to watch. Wink
