Do you think we might live in one, do you think that's a viable theory?
Well, if you know it's a simulation, you know the rules don't have to make sense. Presumably the "real world" has to make sense. I think the most relevant place this matters is: A simulation can be set (in order to save resources) to only properly simulate a certain area, everything else is just assumed until it needs to be rendered. Presumably, reality doesn't have this constraint.
So whether things happening in distant places are real until that information is called upon or not (a tree falling in a forest where nobody's around to hear it, so to speak) is pretty relevant. How big that area of rendering is (bigger than our planet? our solar system? our galaxy?) is also relevant.

Depends. My boyfriend doesn't like it, but my girlfriend does.
