Rylan Frydman - Week 5 : Life’s a Simulation?
Rylan Frydman - Week Five : Life’s a Simulation?
The theory of living in a simulation is a talked about hypothesis that many express, sarcastically, yet also through a sense of a possibility. The simulation theory says that we are all living in an advanced, hyper realistic computer, sort of like a videogame or the matrix. There have been multiple studies and claims through scientists and theorists questioning the reality we live in. While many argue through analytics and facts, others relate to the expression of coincidences.
Many have made claims based on the Simulation theory, including Elon Musk. Musk has stated that "it's more likely than not that you live in a simulation and not a physical universe." As well as Famous Philosopher, Nick Bostrom, who stated that chances are about 50-50 that we live in a simulation. Through technology advancing at a rapid pace, the chances continue to increase more and more.
Others use the expression of living in a simulation to express coincidences that occur. The synchronicity theory is a phenomenon concept in which two unrelated experiences intertwine. For example, when one sees or talks about a certain thing, for it then to unexpectedly show up again. Some state that these unusual events are just glitches in the system. Another theory is that Deja vu is simply a glimpse into reality. The more you pay attention, the more you become hyper aware and woke of the coincidences you experience.
As we continue to push forward with technology, it is unknown what we are capable of creating. It is hard to fully understand the concept of a simulation because it is truly what you make of it. Coincidences happen, but at some point you have to question if it is only a coincidence. When you think of reality as a whole, it is a scary thought. Do you think it is possible to even consider? Could we just be the creation of one big, advanced, illusion of reality?
