Message to the photons of this newly discovered mindblowingly large (trillions of stars) galaxy cluster who have been underway for 7 billion years: welcome!

XP OP.
No. Since the energy sums up to zero, it could well just be some quantum fluctuation.

Does the universe only exist because I think it does?
Your peculiar version of the universe only exists in your own mind. It bears a vague family resemblance to the actual universe, which is its progenitor, but that resemblance suffers greatly from the admixture of many deeply held delusions.

What about the simulated universe?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chfoo9NBEow
― Brian Eno's Mother (Latham Green), Tuesday, 31 May 2016 18:53 (nine years ago)
First point: Even a simulation requires something to be real somewhere in order for the simulation to exist.
Second point: The universe is the only thing we can observe. Nothing outside the universe can be proved to exist. As mentioned in my first point, a simulation still requires a reality upon which the simulation must be founded. Therefore a hypothesis that the entire universe is simulated cannot be "proved", because it hypothesizes a reality that cannot be observed or proved to exist.
Third point: George Smoot is full of shit.

3:06 = talking about zombies made my eyes glaze over (what does this have to do with simulators)4:58 = argument from probability fallacy (what is likely has no bearing on what is actual)5:18 = begging the question fallacy (tell me more about the psychology of beings from other planets, please)5:45 = circular reasoning fallacy (i believe it, that proves it)9:42 = argument from "citation needed" (what makes you think that 1 in 3, or more, people is a sim)13:08 = argument from invalid authority (google experts are not physicists, anthropologists or psychologists)14:28 = self-refuting argument (human says he can prove hes not real, says it's not able to make such discernment)14:38-17:40 "cool story bro" (not interesting nor relevant)19:08-end = argument from ignorance (i dont know. therefore, conclusion is true)

from teh comments
'Existence' is such a nonsensical word.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 16 June 2016 17:34 (nine years ago)
And yet it exists.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Thursday, 16 June 2016 17:43 (nine years ago)
Which is nonsense.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 16 June 2016 17:56 (nine years ago)
but nonsense exists

Lets face it, things exist becase nothing can't exist.
