Sure. Let’s say you have a home planet where your friends and family live. You get in a starship, travel a crazy distance at near light speed and return home to find that hundreds of years have passed and everyone your character knew is dead.

Would that satisfy the simulation you have in mind? Because that’s definitely doable.

The universe is busy being and doing everything that it can possibly be and do. Some of those things get to have conscious experiences and do things like ponder their own existence.

Peopling is a thing that the universe does sometimes, as evidenced by us being here and doing this.

I just think that’s neat.
