    <<All these multiverse ideas lead to a remarkable synthesis between cosmology
    and physics...But they also lead to the extraordinary consequence that we may
    not be the deepest reality, we may be a simulation. The possibility that we
    are creations of some supreme, or super-being, blurs the boundary between
    physics and idealist philosophy, between the natural and the supernatural,
    and between the relation of mind and multiverse and the possibility that
    we're in the matrix rather than the physics itself. >>

    Shades of Schmidhuber, Bostrom, Tegmark
