Do humans actually live in the world of simulation that was made? Scientists discuss the hypothesis that

Whether this universe is a real or computer product is "Simulation hypothesisIt is the subject of the interest of scholars called by the astrophysicistNeil Drossz TysonA discussion was also held at "Isaac Asimov Memorial Discussion Meeting", where Mr. is a moderator.

The idea that "the universe is actually a simulation" is like a movie "matrix", but in 2003 he was a professor at the University of Oxford and a philosopherNick BostromWhat he advocated.

If there is a highly developed civilization that can simulate the entire universe, the possibility of executing the simulation is high, and the possibility that the earth and the people living in the earth are residents in the simulation is also high Mr. Bostrom's argument, Tyson believes that possibility can be Fifty · Fifty.

Mr. Bostrom's simulation hypothesis is a "hypothesis" to the last, but it is also a fact that it seems to be based on a mathematical law as you know more about the universe. I participated in the debateMax · テ グ マ ー クHe is a physicist specializing in cosmology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and all the mathematically existing structures also exist physically "Mathematical universe hypothesis"If we are game characters, we should be able to understand that the rules of the world are totally precise and mathematical, as if the computer code were reflected." .

Not all scholars accept the simulation hypothesis, but theoretical physicist at Harvard University who was presentLisa Randor"It is not based on a clear probability (probability), and I do not know why its advanced existence wants to simulate us," he said, adding that the possibility of a simulation hypothesis "It is virtually zero," I truncated it.

But in reality there is not any evidence that we are in the real world, but there is a lot of evidence that seems to be a simulation, Professor David Charmers of Philosophy at New York University. Theoretical physicist at the University of MarylandJames GatesMr. also says that he has enough evidence to convince himself that he is a physicist.

If the simulation hypothesis is valid, it is Gates that suggested that we will open the door of the part to be spoken in the realms of eternal life and resurrection, religion. This comes from the idea that if you are a program inside the computer, you can run the program again unless the computer itself breaks.

As for the simulation, it is Charmmas who said that it is "who is not a ghost, but a young hacker in a different universe" about who is performing it. Even though man can control how much Mario can jump at "Super Mario Bros." I think that he is a god as well as he does not think "I am a god in the Mario world" It is an idea that it will not exist.

However, Tyson who had the question of "Is there a bug that will destroy all programs if it is a simulation?" Would it really be better to leave it unknown if we want the world to be clear, whether it's "real" or simulation?
