What if everything we know is a lie?.
Have you ever experienced an abstruse sensation that certain aspects of reality simply don't seem right? Imagine if the world we inhabit isn't as real or genuine as it has always appeared.
What if your entire existence, everything you've perceived, sensed, and encountered was merely part of a highly sophisticated simulation?
Just think about this for once: Suppose humanity successfully develops an lifelike video game in the future; what prevents a more advanced civilization from having already achieved such a thing? And if they have indeed created this illusion, how could we differentiate it from actual reality?
It may sound like something that will never happen, but many scientists and philosophers are seriously contemplating this scenario.
Additionally, theoretical physicists and computer scientists are delving into curious anomalies within our universe that hint at the possibility of living within something artificial.
So then, what if your physical presence is not quite what it seems?
What if everything surrounding you is merely coded information?
We never know this, do we?.
Are we participating in a game that we can never escape?.
Just think about being in the most well made video game ever invented.
It offers such depth that you can experience emotions, taste flavors, and even come across profound questions about your own existence. But here's the interesting part, you remain unaware that you’re engaging with a game, to you, it's merely reality.
Now think about what our big universe may be like in this situation.
According to the simulation hypothesis, people from a very evolved civilization, possibly humans from the future or a higher intelligence in space, may have created this artificial simulation in which we live without realising it.
According to this theory, known existence is merely an extraordinarily realistic program running on some cosmic framework rather than being genuinely authentic.
