What is the Simulation Hypothesis?
The theory that we may all be living inside a computer simulation has been recently popularized by movies such as "the Matrix" and influential people such as Elon Musk. If this were true, it would change everything about our perception of reality itself.
A few years after "the Matrix" movie, a philosopher named Nick Bostrom wrote a paper on the simulation hypothesis in 2003. Here is a statement by the philosopher:
Many works of science fiction as well as some forecasts by serious technologists and futurologists predict that enormous amounts of computing power will be available in the future. Let us suppose for a moment that these predictions are correct. One thing that later generations might do with their super-powerful computers is run detailed simulations of their forebears or of people like their forebears. Because their computers would be so powerful, they could run a great many such simulations. Suppose that these simulated people are conscious (as they would be if the simulations were sufficiently fine-grained and if a certain quite widely accepted position in the philosophy of mind is correct). Then it could be the case that the vast majority of minds like ours do not belong to the original race but rather to people simulated by the advanced descendants of an original race
OUR GOALTo present the simulation hypothesis for a general audience |
First Let'sLearn
This website will contain many YouTube videos which will explain the simulation hypothesis and go into depth.
|
Now let's WORKReflect
After watching these YouTube videos we need to reflect on the nature of our reality.

IT'S UP TO USShare
Finally, we should share this information so that the public have access to it
