Could Proving a Simulation Existence Indicate a Higher Being?

How did you find PF?

I was kinda bored and was read about what allows an electron to smear... i kinda wanted to make an account to see what happens.

If we could prove we are in a simulation, wouldn't that prove the existence of a higher being?

Welcome to the PF!

Probably not, but we take "proofs" pretty seriously here. See the Math Challenge threads in the Math forums, for example.

We also don't speculate here -- we discuss mainstream science and math that has been published, and learn all that we can about the amazing world that we live in. That is challenge enough without entertaining pseudoscientific nonsense, right?
