Are We Real?

What we all believe is that we are all real, though what we don’t think about is what if we were not real, what if we were a hologram of the universe, being switched on every time we look at something, as in our eyes are omitting a clear picture of what we see, but it has a boundary of an opaque wall, meaning what we don’t see, just doesn’t exist, if we were in a locked room by yourself, about 50 cubic meters in volume and all you see is a door and an empty room, what I believe is that you can see everything inside, that is obvious, though whatever is on the other side of the door, doesn’t even exist!, now imagine you have someone on the other side of the door, now it is reversed, he/she can see whatever is going on the side of the door ( the side that the person inside of the room cant see) though whatever is going on inside the room he/she cannot see, you can think of this as that room not even existing to you, until you go in, it is like Schrodinger’s cat, a physics paradox that takes an ordinary cat and places it into a sealed steel chamber that we cannot see inside of, the box has a hammer that will break a conical flask of toxic chemicals when the cat moves, it also has a Geiger counter on the outside to tell you how much radiation has leaked into the box, at this point in time, Schrodinger states that the cat is both dead and alive, until the box/chamber is opened, this is called a state of super position. Now link this back to the 2 sides of the room, for the person on the outside of the door, whatever that is inside can be though to be both, existing and not existing, as he doesn’t know, until he goes in. this is the exact same for the person inside the room, he can see the outside as both existing and not existing. Another theory I have is that we a computer simulation, being controlled by, higher beings than ourselves, think about it, we are do things in an order, breakfast, lunch, dinner. Wake up, eat, sleep. Like a program of a game, we are controlled by our super being player, we are the characters in the game of life, when do things that are out of the ordinary it is harder, when you start the game, you can spawn in different situations, if you are put into a poor family it is the game that you have to try claw your way up to the top, in a rich wealthy family, it is the game to sustain that wealth and not let anyone else try to take that from you or try to climb higher than that. The longer you stay out of harms way, the longer you live and most likely, the more successful you are, showing us that our player is taking us on a journey. Though this raises the question, if we were in a computer simulation why would we be programed to have the capacity of comprehending the slender possibility that we are indeed a computer simulation, a game of life and maybe even the fact that we don’t even exist!
