People have asked me many times about the question of simulated reality.В I think about it a lot, even when IвЂ™m taking a bath.В The strongest argument that we live in simulated reality is this: Forty years ago, we had computer games based on squares and dots.В Now, forty years later, we have photorealistic 3D simulations that are played by millions of people at once.В And itвЂ™s getting better every year.В We have a virtual, enhanced reality.В If it continues like this, one day the games will be indistinguishable from reality.Д®ven if the improvement took a long time, if the speed of progress slowed down a lot compared to the current pace, for example a thousandth, letвЂ™s say it took us ten thousand years, which is nothing compared to evolution, so we are clearly on the way to creating a perfect simulated reality. And it would be hard for the inhabitants of these digital realms to figure out the truth, because all the evidence they could gather would likely be planted by the creators.ДЄnother video from 2016 in which Elon Musk freely admits that we live in the Matrix answers the direct question of whether mankind can live in the artificial world created by an advanced civilization: If even one advanced alien civilization with a predilection for creating simulations has ever arisen out there, the reasoning goes, then it could theoretically pop off thousands - or perhaps even millions or billions -В of вЂњfakeвЂќ universes. The billionaire entrepreneur is far from alone in this interpretation a number of physicists, cosmologists and philosophersВ find the simulation hypothesis compelling. вЂњT he substrateВ on which these simulations run, whatever they are, is probably quite boring, at least compared to the simulations themselves,вЂќ Musk told Rogan.В вЂњWhy would you do a simulation that is boring?В YouвЂ™d do a simulation thatвЂ™s a lot more interesting than basic reality, вЂњMusk said, referring to the video games and movies that humanity makes and that are a distillation of whatвЂ™s interesting in life. вЂњI think there are most likely many, many simulations,вЂќ he added.В вЂњYou can call them reality just as well, or you can call them a multiverse.вЂќ вЂњIf you expect any pace of improvement at all, then the games will be indistinguishable from reality, or civilization will end.В вЂњOne of those two things will happen,вЂќ Musk said.В вЂњThatвЂ™s why weвЂ™re most likely in the simulation, because we exist.вЂќ вЂњThe universe is 13.8 billion years old, so all the civilizations that came into it had plenty of time to hone their technological know-how,вЂќ said the founder and CEO of SpaceX during a podcast appearance on theВ Joe RoganВ Experience. Elon Musk thinks weвЂ™re probably all trapped in a Matrix-like pseudo-existence.
