On: Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory

Douglas Adams in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy had an explanation already.
The terminating condition of the Universe Simulation:

"There is a theory which states that if anybody ever discovers exactly what
the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another
theory which states that this has already happened."
