There’s a 50 percent chance we’re living in a simulation, according to a 2003 landmark paper. Since then, scientists have been pondering the possibilities.

Life, the universe and everything If it turns out we really are living in a version of “The Matrix,” though—so what? “Maybe we’re in a simulation, maybe we’re not, but if we are, hey, it’s not so bad,” Chalmers said. “My advice is to go out and do really interestin...
plausible chance that there is one base reality, and we're living in it. If this is the actual universe (or part ofthe Multiverse, but that's another conversation entirely), then all of the scientific principles that we know of apply, which means a simulated universe would be an ...
It is then possible to argue that, if this were the case, we would be rational to think that we are likely among the simulated minds rather than among the original biological ones. Therefore, if we don’t think that we are currently living in a computer simulation, we are not entitled ...
This paper posits that we are living in a computer simulation to simulate physical reality which has the same computer simulation process as virtual reality (computer-simulated reality). The computer simulation process involves the digital representation of data, the mathematical computation of the ...

By measuring the redshifts of their host galaxies, we could determine the distances to the GW sources, thus reducing degeneracies in the GW parameter estimation, especially of the binary inclination with respect to the line of sight. Redshift measurements might also enable the use of a large ...
Nonlinear dynamics, where a change in the input is not proportional to a change in the output, are often found throughout nature, for example in biochemical kinetics. Because of the complex suite of interacting abiotic and biotic variables present in eco
Musk cites the speed with which video games are improving as his primary reason for believing that we're living in a simulated world. "Given that we're clearly on a trajectory to have games that are indistinguishable from reality," he said, "it would seem to follow that the odds that we...
