In an era where technology seems to blur the lines between reality and fiction, the notion of living in a computer simulation has intrigued philosophers, scientists, and curious minds alike. With advancements in artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and simulations, the question gains traction: How do we know that our reality isn’t just an elaborate construct within a computer program?
The Simulation Hypothesis:
The concept of living in a computer simulation stems from what is known as the Simulation Hypothesis, proposed by philosopher Nick Bostrom in 2003. Bostrom posited that one of three possibilities exists: either all civilizations become extinct before developing the technology to create realistic simulations, they choose not to run simulations, or we are most likely living in a computer simulation. This hypothesis sparked widespread discussion and debate among scientists, philosophers, and technologists.
