20 years ago, futurist Nick Bostrom published the first draft of his groundbreaking simulation argument, which asks, "Are you living in a computer simulation?" Public figures like Elon Musk and Neil deGrass Tyson have also broached this line of questioni
This idea may sound like science fiction, but it has been the subject of serious inquiry. Philosopher Nick Bostrom advanced a compelling argument that we’re likely living in a simulation, and some scientists also think it’s a possibility. ...
A number of philosophers, futurists, and technologists have come to believe that we are living in a computer-simulated world, kind of like a real-life version of The Matrix. The so-called "simulation argument" was popularized in a2003 paperby University of Oxford professor Nick Bostrom and h...

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.

WE Thomas,DA Grouws - 《School Science & Mathematics》 被引量: 3发表: 1984年 Is It Likely that We Are Living in a Computer Simulation? Bostrom's simulation argument argues that humanity either dies out or will reach the posthuman stage. In the latter case, if it was to drive ancestor-...
(2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation. It follows that the belief that there is a significant chance that we will one day...
