Before calling it fake, check Japan’s Himawari-8/9 satellite a real Earth-observing satellite that captures full-disk images of our planet every 10 minutes using official space-based imaging, not weather predictions.
This is actual satellite imagery from space… sometimes Earth just looks so unreal that people forget reality can be more stunning than CGI

You know how Quantum Field Theory suggests that everything is a field at the smallest possible levels? The idea that everything exists “on average,” because quantum fluctuations are constantly… well, fluctuating?
What if that evidences the idea that you don’t need solid matter in order to produce solid matter? What if you can just simulate emergent relationships from the bottom all the way up? At the bottom, it’s just bits. Kind of like how, at our bottom, it’s just fields.
Then, in that reality, maybe you can put the Earth in a jpg. To its human occupants, they’d have no way of knowing.
This suggests that the magic bag of holding may be possible too
What about black holes? The event horizon’s area scales with mass (∝ M2), but don’t some modern theories posit that the internal space can behave very differently over time and produce more space?
True, black holes might also be possible… I’m learning a lot
Do you think it would be fair to argue that the universe itself is such a case, too, given entropy? If you can start with the big bang, with time as your function, you’re producing more space within a closed system that started with the singularity. Not sure that’s fair though, because maybe entropy is a constant? I don’t know.
