Physicists say there may be a way to prove that we live in a computer simulation

I find this quite interesting. I've always thought it was possible that we are living in some college freshman's computer simulation. These guys are attempting to come up with a mathematical proof that it is possible.
We have several simulations today that are aimed at mimicking real life physics and math. We use computer simulations to design airplane's, cars, and many other real objects with striking accuracy to the real world. We already have brain/machine interfaces. It's only a matter of time before we come up with more realistic worlds and simulations, ones that might rival our own world.
