is Life real?

The "hologram" would be real, of course i.e., not like an intangible photographic hologram. It doesn't really imply that someone is at the controls and programming everything inside either.
On the other hand, this physicist interviewed by Neil Degrasse Tyson was kind of disturbed by what he found in his string theory studies: -

Far out my bong is red-lining after all this the other scientists' retort brought to mind Parmenides' paradox of motion. But if we're all in a hologram, then nothing is actually real, so it does make sense after all, and I am so stoned right now.. I want a blue pill, big-time.

Scientists are retards though. They are constantly pulling crap out of their asses to 'explain' their theories and/or equations, instead of simply saying "I don't have a clue.". How are protons able to clump together inside an atom's nucleus? Well, uh that's 'nuclear force' that somehow does it and the neutrons. Which are neutral, so they shouldn't do anything at all really
What's this? The universe doesn't act the way it should? Well, that's because there's this 'dark matter' stuff that you can't see, but it makes all the equations line up so it's real and we're not wrong
I want some Cheetos now. -

More puzzles that only spawn either more puzzles or more 'solutions' based on flimsy assumptions which the physicist usually then adheres to blindly ego often gets in the way of admitting ignorance. They are too busy acting all self-important chasing such pointless garbage rather than trying to figure out the basics. Ex: Why does gravity work?

Einstein offered an explanation with General Relativity.
Mass/energy distorts space-time and distorted space-time affects the motion of mass/energy.
Most of the models are very mathematical and aren't easy to put into words.
Relativity still hasn't been unified with quantum physics, but the holographic model might be promising in that regard as well.
Bottom line even if they never explain everything, their models often work. We'd struggle to send probes to investigate the solar system or even have functional GPS from our satellites if they were far off the mark. -

No, not 'how' does it work,
why?
.
Well, with that, I'm off to the local bar to get drunk off my ass. I will be making astute observations of the effects of gravity later on as I dance The Irish Waltz. Wish me luck -

I watched a documentary a couple of years ago that talked about whether god was real or not. They kind of combined religion with science in trying to explain so. They talk about how everything from the universe to planets and life has an intelligent design to it. So intelligent that it couldn't have naturally happened by itself. So if it didn't naturally happen, who created everything?
They also mentioned something about the world could possibly a matrix like simulation.
Either

"I'M" f* -

Evolution, according to Darwin himself, fails to explain not only mankind, but most all life on earth. The 'slow, gradual' changes which should be evident yet are absent in the fossil records led only to the 'missing link' BS that scientists coughed up. And not only homo sapiens, but essentially every example of flora and fauna in existence.
Of course, even in the face of such destructive evidence, the general scientific community stick to the Theory of Evolution like flies on beep going right against the scientific method itself, making them guilty of unyielding faith in the face of actual fact just as the religion morons they so often belittle and ridicule. -

Yes, life is real. We do not live in a "matrix" as proposed in the movie or by string theorists, etc.
This fact can be verified in a number of ways.- Drain a nearby lake or pond and examine the stuff you find at the bottom covered with green slime old tires, beer and whisky bottles, etc. And you might cut your hand on some of it. You can't do that with a computer matrix.
- Pull the back seat out of several older cars and look at the stuff you find there; a yellow comb with a half-melted piece of hard candy stuck to it, and old business card to somewhere that no longer exists, a paint-chipped Hot Wheels car, a sticky penny with a paper clip stuck to it stuff like that. There will be a random assortment of stuff under each seat. No computer could do that.
Anything else?

Let's review
Yes, life is real.

Ka-ching! Verifying aka proving a positive.
Come back soon and try again, goober.
