Here's a fun thought: Does the TV show Star Trek exist in the Star Trek universe?

Probably not, but this raises a lot of cool questions to geek out over!

Does scifi exist in a scifi universe?

@badastro One thing I find interesting/funny is in the opening credits of Star Trek: Enterprise, we see glimpses of various ships throughout history named Enterprise, starting with a sailing ship and ending with the Starfleet vessel the show is about. Midway through, there's the NASA space shuttle Enterprise. So within Star Trek, that space shuttle exists. But in real life, the reason the shuttle was named that was because Star Trek fans petitioned for it to be.
