Simulation Theory: Are We Living in a Simulation?

SIMULATION THEORY

Are we living in a "simulation? Well, if you believe Elon Musk (and there's n reason not to) the answer is a resounding, YES. Lets explore the pressing question of our time: Are We Real or Are We Memorex?

Meaning: Simulation Theory Definition & Meaning ...
Simulation theory is a theoretical hypothesis that says what people perceive as reality is actually an advanced, hyper-realistic computer simulation, possibly overseen by a higher being. (God or Something/One Else?)

What Is "Simulation Theory"?

Simulation theory, also known as the simulation hypothesis, is the idea that our reality is a computer simulation created by a higher being. The theory suggests that everything we know and experience is artificial, and that we are constructs in a simulated world. 
The simulation hypothesis has roots in Western philosophy and has been debated in philosophical discourse. The idea has become well known in popular culture, and some tech leaders, including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Sam Altman, have expressed interest in it. However, there is no substantial evidence to support the theory, and many research papers refute it. 
The simulation hypothesis has been compared to the movie The Matrix, in which the character Neo learns that his entire life is part of a video game. 
The idea that the universe is the result of computation was first documented in Konrad Zuse's 1969 book Rechnender Raum (Calculating Space). In 2001, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed the simulation argument, which suggests that if a civilization can create conscious simulations, most conscious entities would be in a simulation.
