If that were true, a computer programmer, not a god - created the universe.

This just means that the true nature of the God who created our universe would be 'not a god at all'. They would effectively have Godlike powers where our simulated universe is concerned, though, because they could could make changes to the simulation or even end it.

(but would it really matter, wouldn't we just ask the same questions over about that programmers environment? If we've made it this far across bifrost I see no reason to stop moving forward)

From another article about it -

http://news.discovery.com/space/are-we-l...121216.htm

British philosopher Nick Bostrom published a paper that proposed the universe we live in might in fact really be a numerical computer simulation.

.... Bostrom imagined “stacked” levels of reality, “we would have to suspect that the post-humans running our simulation are themselves simulated beings; and their creators, in turn, may also be simulated beings. Here may be room for a large number of levels of reality, and the number could be increasing over time.”

To compound this even further, Bostrom imagined a hierarchy of deities, “In some ways, the post-humans running a simulation are like gods. However, all the demigods except those at the fundamental level of reality are subject to sanctions by the more powerful gods living at lower levels.”

Only the beings living at the fundamental level of reality would be in a position to look for something that transcends the 'true' physical universe.

On the other hand - Is Our Universe a Hologram?

This page has a very short video explaining the basics. I'm not sure if that means the Brahman is flat.
