Physicists To Test If Universe Is A Computer Simulation

be funny if they proved it as true, and caused the people running the experiment to reboot the universe as they ****ed it up.
 
Surely this begs the question, though, of why any sufficiently advanced species would want to run a simulation of a universe?

Why do we play video games? you get to experience something different. There's a good Star Trek episode along these lines called "The Inner Light", jist of it that Picard lives an entire lifetime in a simulation and then when he gains consciousness in the real world he's only been out for 20mins.

In the distant future if a species survives long enough there would probably be a lot of resource scarcity, in reality.
 
If this is just a simulation then I think it's quite poor of the developers who created this simulation that we haven't had any graphical updates or expansions yet!
