This can be easily understood by recurring to the analogy of a
computer. The 2 and 3 D objects we see in the screen are not "really
real objects", but in a pool simulation, for instance, it is as
impossible to make a ball go through another as it is in Reality to...
(what can be really impossible?). Even when those balls are not real,
it is their interaction, the interaction of the lumps of information
what
makes them act according to what we expect of "real" balls; without
being real they will bounce and change trajectories, and the more
_information_ is in the simulation the more 'real' they will look and
act.

They cannot help but bouncing as much as "real" balls will bounce since
it is in the instructions of that particular program. This instructions
are the equivalent to Nature Laws, as unchangeable as a compiled
program's instructions, though "at the beginning" several sets of rules
can be chosen, where the beginning would be the "origin" of the
Universe. What matters here is that there are no balls in there, only
information interacting with information according to fixed rules which
an observer outside the simulation can study and given some form
(mathematical language, for instance, or graphics), even if the actual
implementation of the rules is totally unknown...
