The thing is, no one can prove it's not a simulation.

CERN are having a pretty good go at it these days. Google CERN 13.5 TEV Many worlds research.

Any technology that can create our universe as a simulation will be advanced enough to make a multiverse simulation. However much we are able to understand the fundamentals of our universe, the intelligence that has created this simulation would understand more about the fundamentals of a universe. And assuming the intelligence continues to refine their undertstanding of the universe it would mean the AI in our simulation would need to advance beyond the understanding of the intelligence that created us in order for us to experimentally expose the simulation.

However, if we are merely a simulation, then the size of our universe is only virtual, therefore we should in theory be able to invent a way to fast travel to any point in the universe much like fast travel is a feature of open world games. But the intelligence would know this, and thus it could programme something in which is consistent with the simulated physical laws of the universe which allows for fast travel but which does not expose the virtual nature of teh universe, such as large wormholes. So, the question is would proof of the existence of wormholes be evidence for or against a simulated universe?
