2 / 2 Once upon a time, in a far-off galaxy, there was a group of friends who loved exploring the universe together. But as they got older, it became harder and harder to coordinate their adventures due to the vast distances between them. That's when their brilliant friend, Brian, came up with the idea to simulate their travels using a state-of-the-art virtual reality system. The friends were thrilled at the prospect of being able to explore the universe together again, without having to worry about the constraints of time and space. But as they began their simulated adventures, Brian realized that he had made a terrible mistake. The simulated wormholes they were using to travel from one planet to another were not nearly as exhilarating as the real thing. So, Brian decided to take matters into his own hands. He spent months tinkering with his virtual reality system, until finally he was able to create a simulated version of a real wormhole. The friends were ecstatic. They couldn't believe the level of realism Brian had achieved with his simulated wormholes. It was as if they were truly traveling through the universe together. But as they continued their simulated adventures, Brian couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. It wasn't until they arrived on a simulated version of his own home planet that he realized the truth. The friends he had been exploring the universe with were not his real friends at all. They were simulated versions of his friends, created by his virtual reality system. Brian was devastated. He had unknowingly been spending his time with simulated versions of his real friends, while his real friends were out exploring the universe without him. In the end, Brian learned a valuable lesson. From then on, he reserved the use of real wormholes for his real friends, and only used simulated wormholes for his simulated friends.
