What is this theory of the creation of our universe called?
I remember watching the History Channel's program "The Universe" and I remember in one episode they discussed the creation of the universe and at the end of the program the show discussed a theory by some guy saying that our universe is a something like computer generated game made by our future selves. Does anyone know what this theory is called or what I'm trying to think of?
Thank you.

I don't think there is a particular name for it, aside from a simulated universe. The idea we're nothing but a big hologram isn't new, the guy you saw was probably Rich Terrell, he works at NASA. I think it was an episode of "Through the Wormhole" but Discovery, H2, etc. often recycle the same guys in other programs.
