The REAL Reason Scientists Know We're In A Simulation

I spend so long these days thinking and talking to people about what all of this means and uh I've got more and more I saw you talking about the simulation theory once or twice >> and I I started to fall into that that [laughter] hole of thinking. >> Oh yes it's No, you got to you know

>> step outside every now and then and you know smell the roses. >> But you said you wouldn't be surprised if people found out the universe is simulated by some sort of advanced life form. >> Yeah. Given what we can now compute, throw in quantum computing on top of that, we we don't have this power yet. But to

make a world in our computer where the characters that in that world believe they have free will and then they conduct themselves and then they invent computers and then they make a world inside of their computer and where their characters think they have free will and then they so then it's this simulated universes all the

way down and close your eyes and throw a dart. Which of these are you going to get the first universe that invented the simulated universe or the zillion ones that followed? The dart's likely to hit one of the others. But my my escape hatch from that is since we do not yet know or have the

power to make a perfectly simulated world, it means we are either the first universe that's real that hasn't created one yet or we're the last universe that hasn't evolved yet to have created one of its own cuz all the middles have the power to create one. So that takes it, you know, a zillion to one against

us to maybe 50/50. >> Oh, interesting. Never heard that before. >> So I'm a little I'm a little more comfortable that way. [laughter] >> Comfortable? >> Yeah, I sleep a little better at night. >> But I guess it wouldn't matter anyway if we actually it wouldn't matter if we're completely simulated. What do you care?
