H&R links to a story that surmises that the universe is probably a computer simulation run by some geek from the “future”.
I say it’s impossible. Long before the technology to create an entire universe with virtual people who think that they are alive becomes available, the technology to have pretty realistic virtual sex will come on line. At that point, all the geeks will stop working on anything else, and all progress will be arrested forever. I refer to this as the Vache Folle Threshold.
The VFT also accounts for the apparent lack of interstellar space travel by advanced alien species. They all invented pretty good virtual sex before they came up with Warp drives.
