So many people have proposed we're simulated... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis

Now why would such an extremely advanced civilization / collective want to simulate us? Is this an unanswered question?

I think the problem is open, unless the simulators answer it. The main problem is this scales upwards till infinity via arguments of the form "who simulates the simulator?" and "who made what was before the big bang?". Also, there is no sound axiomatic system for physics and other empirical stuff, it changes often on large scale.
