course we’re living in a simulation the only people who absolutely disagree are, well, scientists. they need to get over themselves and join the fun. the only explanation for life, the universe, and everything that makes any sense is that we’re living inside a supercomputer. illustration:...

Could our reality actually be an incredibly detailed simulation set in place by a much more advanced civilization? This idea may sound like science fiction, but it has been the subject of serious inquiry. Philosopher Nick Bostrom advanced a com...
“theory of everything”, we cannot rule out the possibility that novel physical phenomena, not allowed for in current physical theories, may be utilized to transcend those constraints[2] that in our current understanding impose theoretical limits on the information processing attainable in a given ...
Simulation Theory: Are we living in the Matrix?: With John Goforth, Brent Hand, Tim Longhurst, Alan Thicke. Is reality real? Or could we be living in a computer simulation? Simulation theory proponents (from Elon Musk to Neil DeGrasse Tyson) claim that w
human species is very likely to become extinct before reaching a 'posthuman' stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of its evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation. It...
Simulation Hypothesis While many people take reality at face value, others believe the far more intriguing theory that we are living in a computer simulation. It's a concept straight out of "The Matrix" (though its origin reaches much further back), and one of its supporters is Tesla and ...
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.
Coined as the term "manifesting", the duo sought to explore the idea of living in a simulation, “an increasingly prevalent theory we keep coming across,” adds Caleb. “We want to dive deeper into this idea by using the internet as a record of our collective unconscious.” This lead to...
Some researchers have said that the simulation theory could be tested. What experiment would you design to test whether we're living in a simulated world? In principle, the strong version of the hypothesis cannot be tested. It is entirely unverifiable, unfalsifiable, irrefutable, and thus unscien...
