iHLN Life we are all in a computer simulation and we are, therefore, not more than artificial intelligence? It seems to be a complete of the pot torn issue, but since the in 1999, it was raised in the science fiction trilogy The Matrix , the theory becoming more and more popular. Rizwan Virk, a computer scientist and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), examines in his book The Simulation leading hypotheses and a refutation of the theory.
our world is an illusion and we exist in a software environment on the servers of one or other of the advanced futuristic society? Today, there is this simulatiehypothese seriously debated in academic circles. Among others, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is convinced that we are most likely in a computer simulation of life.

“There is one chance in billions that we live in a real reality,” said Musk already in 2016. “40 years ago we had Pong (a p, red.) – two rectangles and a point. Now, 40 years later, we have photo-realistic 3D simulations that millions of people per day at the same time play and it gets better every year. Soon we will have virtual reality, we will have augmented reality (augmented reality, eds.) have,” said Musk. “If you take any form of improvement, you will the games are not more distinguished from the reality.”
