AREWE EARTHLINGS LIVING IN A COMPUTER SIMULATION?
WELL, NOTHING NEW IN THAT THEORY
THINK Plato
- 347 BC, Athens
- we are in a cave and it is the reflections of the sun on (computer images) which dictate our reality
- Proponents of a simulated universe theory like Musk and popular astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson often point to the increasingly-complex capabilities of today's computer systems as proof that reality can be emulated. In a simulated universe, which was made popular by British philosopher Nicholas Bostrom in 2003, it's very likely that some advanced future civilization developed equally-advanced computer simulations of past civilizations — past here referring to our present, obviously — in one giant virtual reality experience. Supposedly, these advanced computer models run in a fashion like today's computer games, many of which produce an interactive simulation of ancient civilizations.
