Maybe a box within a box.

Maybe December 21st, 2012 is the scheduled defrag of The Universe. Long overdue, IMO.

Whichever pill allows me to pretend I am not a homeless person living in a box.

In all seriousness, this is easily the most frivolous scientific study I have ever heard of and I can only hope that the scientists involved haven't managed to con anyone into giving them real money for it.

There is no box. Only then will we realize the truth.

It ultimately doesn't matter whether we are living in what could be described as a "simulation" or not. Whatever our universe "really" is at the core, what we do know is that its physical rules have been constant since shortly after the Big Bang, and it's been around long enough that I don't think we have to worry about anyone "shutting it off" anytime soon.

This makes it a fundamentally irrelevant question. Whether our universe is "real" or just a very, very well-done simulation, it's a difference that makes no difference.

That was Kiri-Kin-Tha's first law of metaphysics! You're getting your Vulcan philosophers mixed up.
