"Okay."
"I was listening to the background radiation of the universe
night before last, and it struck me. It sounded an awful lot like
a modem carrier wave. Silly me, I went and piped the antenna into
my modem. Well, nothing happened of course. The hertz cycle was
way off. So then I got out this old 4800 baud piece of junk my dad
got from the phone company and I tinkered with it, adjusting here
and there, and guess what happened."
"What?"
"I connected."
"With what?"
"The background radiation of the universe. Or at least what
everybody thought was the background radiation of the universe.

It's not, it is a carrier wave. I connected with it. I went
on-line."
"On-line with what?"
"The universe. Reality itself." He tapped a few times on the
keyboard on his old computer. "I can move things around, change
their properties, you name it." He tapped some more. The money I
had stuffed in my pocket was suddenly on the desk. He tapped some
more. It doubled in amount. He tapped more, and now there was
money bulging in every pocket I had. "You see," he said, "reality
is apparently nothing more complicated than a gigantic computer
simulation. What we think of as the cosmos is a simulation running
on some sort of cosmic mainframe computer. That's why when these
guys in Scientific American look at the building blocks of reality
they find nothing at all. Matter is made up of particles that are
made of nothing. Why? Because it's all just information. They're
looking at the building blocks of a program."
"You're telling me that we're nothing but simulations running
on a cosmic computer somewhere?"
"Basically, yes. That's what I believe."
"So, who's running the computer?"
"God, I guess."
"God is the Cosmic Sysop?"
"Yeah, I suppose so."
"Don't you think the Cosmic Sysop is going to be upset to
find you've been playing around with His programming?"
"He hasn't minded so far."
"Maybe because He hasn't noticed yet. If I were you, I'd keep
it small and simple." I looked outside. "That's your car outside?"
"Yeah, want one?"
It was tempting. "No thanks. You can put a pile of cash under
my bed at home, but other than that, I don't think I want to be
part of this."
