I do realise the meaning of the word hypothesize as it is used in a scientific context and I am not doing that. I.e. a planet beyond the dwarf planet Pluto is hypothesized, meaning that there is adequate reason for scientists to believe that it exists, without sufficient data to prove it.

So I am not hypothesizing about the universe(s) being a simulation. I am merely asking the question, seeking opinions. I have not given any opinion.
