Could we be living in a simulation? If so, many of the complexities of our reality become easily understood. Parallel universes, dimensional rifts, high strangeness, synchronicities and much more all take on a new meaning when viewed from the context of reality being a simulation. We discuss some of the incredible scientific conundrums and the... Read more »

We all remember how Elon Musk raised everyone’s eyebrows by stating he believes we live in a simulation. With a perfectly straight face. And while for many, it may be hard to process the idea, scientists have backed up the belief in such a scenario, like the Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom, who has a theory that suggests we may be living in a computer simulation. Computer scientist Rizwan Virk analyzed this possibility further in his 2019 book “The Simulation Hypothesis.” And there are many more thinkers who are totally for the idea that we do live a simulated computer reality.
What is the Peer-to-Peer Simulation Hypothesis? The idea that we may be living inside of a computer simulation is not new. It was famously depicted in the 1998 film The Matrix and argued to be probable by philosopher Nick Bostrom. However, most forms of the "simulation hypothesis" (including Bostrom's) are purely speculative. They do not explain or make predictions about the world we perceive. Is based on serious scientific and philosophical hypothesies. Explains features of the physical world (including quantum world) that no other theory explains. Makes predictions about our worl...
