The Scientific Evidence for Simulation Theory (Animated Audiobook)

Is our universe actually a simulation? Drawing from ancient philosophy to quantum physics, Theo Brighton's Simulation Theory Simplified! assembles the scientific evidence supporting the simulation hypothesis in a uniquely comprehensive yet accessible way.

This extended audiobook preview examines concepts like the digital nature of the universe, quantum experiments and phenomena, computational constraints like the speed of light, computer codes discovered in the equations of string theory, and whether consciousness itself is rendered like a video game. The sum of potential evidence suggests a compelling perspective that blurs the line between the natural and the artificial, the real and the virtual. Even if only an eerily plausible possibility, simulation theory represents a profound shift in how we view our very existence.

Content is great, but unfortunately the back ground music is far too distracting for me.

[pipuchakraborty]

Pl remove the background music and re upload..I really want to listen to the content

[georgemcnally]

Brilliant, thought provoking piece. Well worth more than one listen, despite its length.

[DJTysonReid]

Wonderful - thank you for doing this! Very well-written and read.

[fdasdf]

Never heard such a unique theory correlating the speed of light to simulation theory and computational speed limits...

[JennyV]

Love the content, but can't bear the music, so given up after 10 minutes

[metalmindedmaniac]

How this only has 151 likes is mind boggling this was really good and deserves way more than that I guess people don’t understand and or are very dim witted lol

[MementoIVIori]

check out Martin Vrijland the simulation dome explains it all, you will love it. Good luck on your channel

[JoshuaTraffanstedt]

I believe this is the state of our universe. I mean if it is possible for an advanced civilization to someday simulate the universe as well as the lives of their early ancestors, why wouldnt they? Also, if it is indeed possible, the chances are greater than not that we are a simulation and not base reality. For all we know we could be a simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation. In fact, i think the odds are even better that we are just that than base reality. But then again im just a guy, so what do i know? Im going to go see if i cant simulate myself a sammich..

[pavlovsdogman]

Actual simulation theory and what's presented in the Matrix movies are two fundamentally different realities or theories? In one theory we exist in a physical 3 dimensional plane and in the other we dont!

Hello.
I am DAVID.
I have been DAVID "BEFORE:, ....
I'LL BE DAVID AGAIN❤

"You" have been pretty CONSISTENT too, so WHO WERE YOU?

its a computer we r inside of a computer tech literally there r chips electronic board in the sky..seen it ! matter of fact have photos the biblical wheel is part of that
