&gt; However, I think it can be proven but once it is, what will there be to know?<p>If reality is a computer simulation I can think of a multitude of other questions about reality:<p>- Can we communicate &quot;outside&quot; of the simulation?<p>- Is the simulation a product of intelligence that is intentionally running the simulation? Or is it a mere by-product of a higher-order universe?<p>- By studying the simulation in great enough detail, is there anything we can learn about the &quot;outside&quot; universe?<p>- Is the &quot;outside&quot; simulation a turing machine? Can it compute a higher class of computational problems?<p>- Are the simulations infinite? Is the &quot;outside&quot; also a simulation? Is it simulations all the way down — or all the way up? Is there a &quot;real&quot; reality?<p>- If its simulations all the way down, how did the first simulation get started?<p>- If there is a &quot;real&quot; reality we get to start all of science over at square one studying this new reality.<p>This is a rough initial list, but I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s an <i>endless</i> number of questions to be asked and answered about reality even if we prove its a simulation.
