Physicists Neil Degrasse Tyson and S.J. Gates discuss what Gates believes is a code to the entire universe that we exist in.

Could we just be inside a simulation?

Other interesting questions include:

Why does nature have this?

What errors does it need to correct?

What is an ‘error’ for nature?

More importantly what is the explanation for this freakish discovery?

Your guess is as good as mine!
