Simulation Theory

[Spongebob]

If reality is not a simulation, then reality is not a simulation. If reality is a simulation, there’s no way to determine whether it’s a simulation or not.

I find it difficult to get fussed over this.

There are opinions that disagree, I've read some things on this.  I was of the same opinion before, but there are scientific corners that I wasn't aware of.  It's been a while so I don't remember the source but I'll do some searching to see if I can find where I read these things.

Here is a link to an article about the simulation theory.  Some scientists believe there are experiments that can detect evidence of a simulated universe.  The evidence they would look for is sort of esoteric; things like minute details that wouldn't need to be there in a simulation and anomalies in the behavior of the fundamental forces.  These things seem promising, but then it makes you wonder if the designer of the simulation wouldn't know that the subjects of the simulation were looking at these things and simply adjust the simulation to account for them.  Kind of makes my head hurt.
