Rewrite the last sentence: if they end up showing that the universe is a 2-D illusion it will pretty much confirm the existance of a Supreme Being/Creator who built it.
Or that we are nothing but a video game created in a super intelligent extraterrestrial kids computer.
Remember these two episodes of Star Trek-Next Generation, where the holodeck creations realize they aren’t real?
“#3. The Holodeck Creates (and Then Destroys) Hundreds of Sentient Beings”
“When Picard is playing 1920s detective dress-up during one of his holodeck jaunts, the computer-generated people he interacts with begin to realize that they aren’t real. One of them asks Picard:
“When you’re gone, will this world still exist? Will my wife and kids still be waiting for me at home?”
And then there was the episode where Data and LaForge play Sherlock Holmes and Watson, and Moriety comes to the realization that he is not real. The phrase “i think, therefore i am” does not apply to them. They can think, have emotions, have past memories, but they are not “am.” Scary stuff.
