It's computer simulations all the way down.

Quote:
British philosopher Nick Bostrom claims that we are probably living inside a Matrix-style simulation. His logic?

Eventually, our computers will be powerful enough to run a simulation just like the Matrix – filled with conscious, artificially intelligent ‘humans’.

Then, the people inside the Matrix will evolve until they, too, can run a simulation like the Matrix.

Eventually, there will be infinite layers of Matrix – which makes it far more probable that we are living inside one, without knowing it, than we are living outside it.

One of the things about such a simulation would be to create things that didn't exist until needed, for example an explorer goes into a field that had never been entered before, so the field is created on the spot, and did not exist before. So that sounds nuts, but in quantum physics, experiments show that pretty much this does go on in that world.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Dr. Dre's soon-to-be ex-wife has provided a list of monthly expenses that explain why she needs $1,936,399 in temporary spousal support. The document points to some pretty wild expenses, such as $135,000 a month on clothes, $20,000 a month on phone and email, $10,000 a month on laundry, and a whopping $900,000 a month on entertainment.

Surely many could find a better wife at half the price.
