Let’s calculate how much operations are needed to simulate, two hundred billion humans, with an average life span of fifty years. We want to simulate all of humanity at once. But, we don’t want to simulate just one human at a time. To simulate one second of human consciousness, let’s estimate we’ll need ten to the power of twenty operations. Your brain runs at about ten to the power of seventeen (one hundred million billion operations) per second. Let’s count every interaction between synapses as one operation. The brain is pretty complex as we all know. Let’s assume that you could generate consciousness by stimulating the brain. Is it even possible to simulate consciousness? We haven’t got a clue what consciousness is. At least for now, because we don’t have enough computer power. Will we ever be able to simulate the entirety of the world, though? No. Our computing powers increase day by day. If you have played games like Red Dead redemption then you know how close it comes to reality. Now 40 years later, we have photorealistic 3D simulations with millions of people playing simultaneously and it’s getting better every year. 30 years after Pac-man, we got Minecraft. A code, written to control us.Ĥ0 years ago we had games like Pac-man. If someone can control your mind, then that person can control your reality too. If we are indeed living in a simulation then the mind is just a software. Because our mind works according to our environment. Our minds can’t identify if reality is real or fake. Because each of us sees the world through our own eyes. Each person observes the world in his or her unique way. So how do we know whether we live in a simulation or not?įirst, let’s identify what reality is. He states that it is not only possible but rather probable that we are already living in a computer simulation created by an advanced civilization.
“ Are you living in a computer simulation?”, a book written by Nick Bostrom, says that we might be living in a computer simulation. However, Technological advancement has not only broadened our understanding of the universe but has also made us aware of unsettling possibilities. To learn about the true nature of reality, we must rely on philosophical concepts and technological progress.
our senses and brains can only process a small portion of the universe. Humans will never be able to experience the true nature of the universe, unfiltered.
