Is this universe real or virtual?

Some say it's real, some say it's virtual, some say it's both, and some don't even know what the hell they are talking about. In this debate we will delve into one of the most neuron splittingly hair raisingly cerebral incineratingly indefatigably profound subjects entering the collective consciousness of the human brain hole.

This is actually something I heard about watching Fabric of the Cosmos. It ended with the theory that the universe we live in is actually virtual. As it is I have a hard time wrapping my mind around that theory so do you have any additional information or documentaries that you could recommend on this? It's a very interesting notion.

But if the universe is virtual would we not expect occasional glitches or flaws that would signify that we are indeed part of a virtual world ?

It is indeed a fascinating topic .

Have a look at Nick Bostrums famous simulation argument it's very interesting

Perhaps things such as deja vu or ghost sightings ARE flaws in it?
