No way I live long enough for us to get to a Grand Unified Field theory. :(

What a bunch of nonsense. So, pseudo-scientists repeat after me: you cannot derive rules of the outer universe from the inner universe.

The only way to "prove" the hypothesis is if an admin sends a message or leaves some other way for us to discover we're in a simulation, other than that it's unprovable and undisprovable.

While you're totally right IMHO, I'd argue that the inner universe indeed can prove this. Just within the rules and boundaries of the inner universe. With our given measures and abilities. Which are or might be totally different from the outside.
