Are we actually living in a simulated reality?
Elon Musk recalls an interesting dinner conversation with two highly accomplished experts — a physicist and a computer scientist. He asked them how likely they thought it was that our universe was a simulation.
Their responses couldn’t have been more different. The physicist said there was a 0% chance, while the computer scientist believed it was 100%.
Two experts, two completely opposite perspectives on one of the biggest mysteries about our existence.
Musk jokingly suggests that perhaps 50% is a reasonable middle ground.
But this raises a fascinating question: Can we ever truly know whether the reality we experience is real or simulated?
If you had to put a number on it, what would your answer be?
