This is not artificial reality.

 Let's settle this debate once and for all.

A long running thought experiment or puzzle or paradox still holds. It has given rise to many books, TV serial episodes, movies and what not.
The question is as intriguing as it is simple, "What if all of this is a simulation, like a computer game and we just don't know it?"
Every advancement in IT right from the beginning has fueled this enigma.

H2G2, Is the entire earth a giant computer?
TRON, there is an entire world like ours inside computer systems. Are we a part of some computer system too?
Matrix: The entire world is a giant simulation to keep humanity trapped.
Existenz: A virtual game within a virtual game... where does it stop?
The thirteenth floor: They literally lose track of simulation, kind of like father of inception.
Inception: Same concept applied to dream world.
Dark City: Some might say it is the seed out of which Matrix spawned. All the people are locked in a simulation to study humanity.

These are some of the top of my mind examples which I could think of as quickly as possible. If you have not watched or read any of these, I highly recommend this (since you have already read this far). Apart from these many shows have also adopted this concept in some of its episodes like The Simpsons.
So, what is true? Is our world the top of the pyramid from where all of the other Virtualities spawn? Or is our world a mere figment of virtual world while reality is completely different altogether?
OR maybe, its a loop, as in Our world is a virtual getaway for a world which was a virtual getaway for our own world. (OK I came up with this, but the concept seems nice).

There is an old saying, "Those are doomed to live the history again who do not study it."

And a careful study of IT particularly virtual worlds gives us our answer.

We have created many virtual worlds so far, comprehensive, detailed, high graphics, given the control in hands of users to shape the worlds themselves. And in all Apart from glitches there is only one thing common, because one can say that either our system is glitch free or maybe the system is paused to correct a glitch or the system is rebooted & restored once a glitch is resolved.

So apart from glitch the one thing common is,

DOUBLE JUMP.

The mere fact that we cannot double jump in this world is enough proof that this is indeed in fact a real world and not a computer simulation.

Beware of the falling back illuion.

Here is what I learned while driving to office the other day. I left for my office, but I was not feeling really good that day, so I was driving very slowly. I could see all the other cars and bike overtaking me, but I was just not in the mood to drive any faster. It almost seemed like I was going backwards due to all the heavy traffic overtaking me so quickly. But I knew that I am going forward. This is when it hit me. When you are travelling for your destination, it does not matter at what speed you are going, what matters is that you keep moving in that direction. Sometimes in life, we feel like we are going so slow that others, our friends, relatives, colleagues etc. are moving ahead so fast in life that it almost seem as if we are going backwards. Just remind yourself... "This is an illusion" This is what Ranveer Kapoor was saying in YJHD, just do not stop.

How? Why? I dont know.

 I don't know why girls have to survive so much. Right from birth they are burdened with tasks that they have to do. Naturally for periods. No option. Ear piercing. At least that could have been optional. But no! Sitting at a jewelry, I saw across the road there was a piercing shop. Uncle was trying to pierce the ear of a little girl. Her parents held her tight. She was crying, shrieking. Her brother (he was little too) sat sad, feeling helpless, unable to comprehend what was happening, why it was happening. On the verge of crying, he tried to help his sister, but his family restrained him too. It is common. Everybody does it. WE HAD DONE PIERCING TOO! It is for your own benefit. Later on, it will hurt even more if we do not do it now. I scavenged the Internet to find at least some logical reason for body piercing. Aside from the little boy, the girl another thing to notice in the scene is their family. They were woman too. Which means at some point in their own life they had gone ...
