If everything we know is but a simulation being run in a much larger world, then "everything we know" isn't a universe.

If you can receive messages from outside of the Matrix, inside, the Matrix isn't a universe either.

There is no outside to the universe. There's isn't anything there. There isn't even nothing there. There isn't even a there there. You've gone beyond the bounds of existence and nonexistence once you've left the universe behind.
