Is our entire universe, along with our entire existence, a computer simulation? It sounds crazy at first but there's quite a bit of factual science that says it may be.
I was always amazed in school by the number pi and a few years ago I became very interested in what is called the Fibonacci Sequence as well. Like pi, the Fibonacci Sequence can be found naturally throughout our world, but it unlike pi, it deals an endless pattern of numbers. In the sequence, each number is the sum of the two previous numbers...0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and so on. This strangely occurs through the world-in nature and even in musical compisitions.
As an example, if you count the number of spiral rows on a pine cone it will always be a Fibonacci number. Same goes for a pineapple and other similar naturally occurring things.
While watching a documentary about this I learned that if you break down matter into it's tiniest microscopics pieces, what you're left with is basically math, or something similar to binary code-programming language that is a sequence of ones and zeros. Some of the greatest minds in science such as Neil Degrasse Tyson and Elon Musk have even made public statements that they believe our world is most likely some sort of computer simulation done by a highly advanced civilization.
What's seems even crazier is the scientific theory of holographic Cosmology. There has been new proof come to light very recently that supports this theory. It says that our world, the one we experience as three dimentional plus time (spacetime), is actually a hologram projected from a two dimentional plane that contains all the data needed to make our world come alive.
The fact that it is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light could be explained by us living in a simulated universe. Naturally, there shouldn't be a limit to something like speed, but in a simulation things would be limited by the available processing power.
These examples combined with other things we've learned from quantum physics, which does not play by the laws set in Einstein's Theory of Reletivity, are quickly stacking up to make a very decent case for proving this theory correct.
