Physicists have long struggled to explain why the Universe started out with conditions suitable for life to evolve.The expansive force of the Universe, dark energy, for example, is much weaker than theory suggests it should be – allowing matter to clump together rather than being ripped apart.Empirical evidence There is some evidence suggesting that our physical reality could be a simulated virtual reality rather than an objective world that exists independently of the observer.That means everything is ultimately digitized or pixelated down to a minimum size that cannot be subdivided further: bits.This could, however, also be explained by the fact that within a virtual reality code, all "locations" (points) should be roughly equally far from a central processor."
