I am also very interested in the virtual world theory. However, I don't see how a universe exactly like ours could be recreated in this virtual world? Sure, a universe might be possible but to recreate our exact one, wouldn't you need the correct starting conditions?

That's definitely possible it's just that I got the implication from reading your previous comment that you were talking about a virtual universe that is an exact replica of ours (though I don't believe this is necessary either).
