Any simulation of the universe must have limits,
and finding these would prove we live in an artificial reality, physicists claim.
If the Matrix left you with the niggling fear that we might indeed be
living in a computer generated universe staged by a malevolent artificial
intelligence using the human race as an energy farm, help is at hand.
A team of physicists have come up with a test which they say could prove
whether or not the universe as we know it is a virtual reality simulation - a
