6. Our Reality Is a Computer Simulation
In one of his more controversial studies, theoretical physicist S. James Gate claims to have discovered computer code deep inside the equations that we use to describe our known universe. And not just any computer code, but strange self-dual linear binary error-correcting block code. Basically, he seems to have proven that deep in the universe’s core are “smart” lines of 1s and 0s.
All this further supports the frightening theory that our entire reality might just be an advanced computer simulation… and there are actual scientists working right now to prove it. Scientists have long believed that a technological singularity is inevitable or has already happened either in or beyond our universe. Since singularities form simulations, possibly in the billions, the notion of our entire reality being nothing but a computer simulation by an advanced technological species or perhaps, even future versions of us, becomes highly likely. The fact that we have our own computer simulations, like in video games, makes the theory all the more plausible. So how do we prove this? Scientists are working to create a mini-simulation that require physical constraints to function. They’ll then compare that mini-simulation to our universe to see if we’re encountering similar constraints, and voila!
