If that is the case, it is highly probable that our existence is simply a result of one of these simulations.Īlternatively, it is far more probable that our existence is the result of a simulation run by our kind. Following this line of logic, these creatures are perhaps running thousands or hundreds of thousands of simulations of the universe. The chances of a race of creatures as advanced (or perhaps even more so) as us, is fairly high. The probability of Earth being the only planet with life is extremely low. Who is running this simulation?”ĭifferent versions of this theory suggest either an advanced alien race or ‘future’ humans. Now, who’s to say creating a virtual replica of our world hasn’t already been done and we are its occupants? So if we can accomplish that much in such a short space of time, creating an entire VR Earth isn’t all that far-fetched. Fifty years is but the blink of an eye on the evolutionary timeline. Half a century later you can put on a VR headset and play tennis at Wimbledon without leaving your living room.

In the 70s the most advanced game involved bouncing a dot back and forth between two rectangles. If we look at how fast technology has advanced in the last half a century, it’s no surprise this conspiracy theory came about. This theory suggests that we are not living in a physical reality but instead in a virtual reality simulation. Why do I bring up this movie? Well, it provides a basis for this article’s topic: The Simulation Theory. And of course, the famous slow-motion bullet dodging scene where the guy bends over backward to dodge bullets fired at close range. There are some gunfights, a couple of cool stunts.

The AI grew smarter than us, overthrew us, and began using us as batteries. Our bodies are being used as a biological energy source to power the artificial intelligence that we created while our minds are kept occupied in a computer-simulated world. The entire human population is trapped in a virtual reality version of the 1990s. Have you ever seen The Matrix? No? Let me give you a synopsis.
