It just moves the question back one step to "how did the universe, in which the creators of the simulation exist, come to be?"
Ad infinitum.
One must either come to an unmoved Mover; or to infinite regress.
Secondly, if one wants to play with the multiverse theory (constant formation of instabilities forming pinched off, mutually exclusive bubbles of spacetime, some of which had laws of nature favorable to life, yada yada hand wave jerk)...
the question begged, is, if the very laws of nature are different in each multiverse, what is it, which guarantees, that those laws (presumably deriving from quantum mechanics) which form the basis for the model, hold true in the undefinable region which keeps giving rise to the bubbles?
"If that chair had an invisible cat in it, the chair would look empty; but the chair does look empty; there is therefore an invisible cat in that chair."
Yeah, like that black cat I saw on the stairs... Twice!
While we work for decades having the government take our money to give to these liberal jackasses for writing some bs report.
I published this 2 months ago. Where’s my Nobel Prize?

“My theory is that a little girl in another dimension got a Universe Kit for her birthday.”
We shouldn’t blame the physicists. It’s difficult for them to explain their new findings from observations of physical interactions, astronomy and math to non-physicists, and tabloids like the London Daily Mail tend to sensationalize.
The findings are fascinating, in my opinion, and have been in the news for years.
We are each connected to entities in another universe with physics different from materials and interactions of this one, but that doesn’t mean that our universe is “fake.” They also don’t know as to which end is controlling which.
BTW, Robert Kuhn is not a physicist, and neither is Nick Bostrom. It’s best to get the more sane info from real physicists.
Where’s Neo?
These are the same Scientist(fiction) types telling us that climate change is due primarily to human activity. Horse manure!
Obama and global warming are fake?
Humanity is being prepared for the great lie which will be spewed to them to explain away the Rapture of The Bride of Christ ... and so many will swallow that lie gladly.
Strange. I could not read the dailymail article on my iphone. I had to get back on my computer to read it. On the iphone, the dangling/floating/popping/sparkling ads make the article unreadable. I wonder if I just discovered one of the inconsistencies in the space-time fabric that proves that we are living in a simulation.
