 By physical necessity, everything you've ever
perceived is a simulation of your external world
produced by and in your brain from sensory data
received from your external world. Your brain is a
biological computer. Therefore, everything you've
perceived is a computer-generated simulation. And so
the intricate dynamic complexity of the perceived
universe is not evidence against the ability of a
computer to create such an environment. QED ~Ian

"What is 'real'? How do you define 'real'? If you are
talking about what you feel, smell, taste, and see,
then 'real' is merely electrical signals interpreted
by your brain." - Morpheus
