We live in a computer simulated 2 dimensional holographic universe :2 dimensional holographic universe: FACT! the other part will be tested and re-created over the next decade

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Scientist will entertain that we are a spec of dust on an even greater spec of dust under someone's finger nail in another dimension. Or that Mankind was kick started by extra terrestrials. and now this is all just a computer simulation. But Jesus is a big NO NO! "Scientists plan test to see if the entire universe is..." and if according to their test, what if it comes back positive? Will someone pull the plug, or will we wait five to twenty years for someone to contradict his findings?
