I remember Penrose's article from physics world a couple of years ago. It made for some great classroom debate. I don't think anyone stayed on the simulation side for very long, though. They didn't include enough evidence to sway anyone.

Why? The energy in the universe, based on the average of particle charges, is zero. I personally don't think this is a one off universe. The ancient Gita idea of expansion followed by contraction, and then a redo, is very likely. Or it isn't . 50/50 since we'll never really know, unless you believe that remnants of past universes have been spotted in the cosmic microwave background radiation.
