What if you are the simulation? Like the universe only exists when you look at it. So the second you turn around, everything you were just looking at disappears. When you look at the the stars, its only rendering low res versions of the stars, and the closer you get to the stars, the higher the resolution. So your very consciousness is the computer that is running the simulation. Your entire life could be the entertainment of some higher being. Kinda brings me down thinking about that because then that means I am nothing, everyone I love is nothing. Probably isn't true though.
