Very smart people are working on how we could tell if we are existing in a sub reality right now. There are published paper detailing on how we can test for it. There are some serious concerns. If we proved we were living in a sub reality would those simulating us still find us useful? Knowing we are just simulants is sure to change our behavior and that fact might make us no longer useful.
Also it is figured that around 2050 we will have the computing power to make our own ancestor simulations. This may cause a stacking problem if we are indeed in a simulation. The computer running our simulated reality would also then have to run the simulated reality we create. It might not be powerful enough so our simulated reality would be ended or "restored" back to a point when we did not have such capabilities.
Armageddon might be 30-35 years away.
