The Universe As Simulation

I'm not the first person to think this. Search the web for "universe is a simulation evidence" and you get lots of good results.

Caching, prefetching, buffer overflows - terms from computing where an attempt is made to make information available before it is asked for or having information located where it shouldn't be located.

These are the terms I thought about when I read this at NPR: Could It Be? Spooky Experiments That 'See' The Future

Experimentation appears to indicate that the Future can leak into the Present. As far as I know there is not a biological explanation for this. However, we have a computational analogy for this happening.

Makes you think the Ancient Alien theory isn't so crazy after-all, perhaps they are just checking in on their grand simulation.
