Several physicists, cosmologists and technologists are now openly entertaining the idea that we are all living inside a gigantic computer simulation, experiencing a Matrix-style virtual world that we mistakenly think is real. We carry out computer simulations not just in games but in research. Is the universe just an enormous, fantastically complex simulation? If so, how could we find out, and what would that knowledge mean for humanity?"
"Despite simulation theory existing for thousands of years in various forms, one of the most compelling comments on the subject came just a few years ago in 2003 from philosopher Nick Bostrom."

Here, we take a closer look at his now famous speech of 1977, in which he proclaims our world to be a Computer Simulation. In my humble opinion, this statement was his interpretation of what he was experiencing, and it isn't a bad guess..."
