Question
Are we living in a simulation?
Position‹2 of 3›

Yes, we are living in a simulation.

Many observers of this "Matrix" claim believe this phenomenon actually exists, and that our reality is simply a simulated, technologically fabricated universe. As humans, we merely experience the world as it was meant to be, unaware of the reality outside our reach.

  1. There are numerous mysterious scientific phenomena that could have resulted from a simulation.
    From molecular physics to climate change, there are many factors of our reality that, to believers in the simulation theory, directly correlate with some other force controlling human perception of the world.
  2. Many prominent physicists and scientific theorists are seriously considering testing for evidence.
    The scientific community, in tandem with the philosophical community, has begun looking into the possibility of testing the simulation theory in the world. This confirms the potential legitimacy of the theory and why it should be seriously considered within mainstream scientific study.
