Almost every ancient religion and philosophy, has at its core, the illusion of reality.
2000 years before Stephen Hawking wrote his final paper before his death, Greek Philosopher Plato's "Allegory of a Cave" is a great metaphor how we believe we live in a reality while living in a projection...
In Plato's example, prisoners live their entire lives in a cave, only able to see shadows. To them, these shadows are reality.
No wonder there is so much discussion on the topics of "simulated reality", "holographic universe", "multiverse theory", "mathematical universe", "computational universe" and even "Biocentric Universe" where Life Creates Time, Space, And The Cosmos Itself... I don't see how any of the various theories exclude the possibility of Alien intelligent life. Quite the opposite me thinks.
