>Simple explanation for the Universe we live in being a simulation

Mathematically, it's most likely that, perhaps there was once a civilisation before us that had sufficiently advanced technology to create a simulation of an entire Universe.

Imagine this is the only civilisation in existence ever. Now, they create the simulation. The simulation gets to this same point, and they create another simulation. Leading to an infinite amount of simulations of Universes (like ours?) or maybe different, with different initial variables. For example, the speed of light seems rather arbitrary, so perhaps the initial conditions like the speed of light are different in these Universes.

How can anyone possibly refute this theory?
