Episode notes
Simulation Theory's Core Idea
- Simulation theory suggests our reality might be artificial, a concept supported by philosophers like Nick Bostrom.
- Bostrom's Trilemma posits we'll either self-destruct, not create simulations, or already be in one.
Glitches and Déjà Vu
- Glitches in reality, like the Mandela Effect, might be evidence of a simulation.
- Déjà vu could be the simulation correcting itself, according to Philip K. Dick.
Fermi's Paradox and Physics
- Fermi's paradox, the lack of visible alien life, questions if our program focuses solely on us.
- The strict laws of physics, like the speed of light, could be constraints within the simulation.
