A Guide to History of Simulated Reality Hypothesis

HISTORY OF SIMULATED REALITY

Simulated Reality Hypothesis, its history is a paradox concept like solipsism. Every person, sometime or the other in the life experiences identity crisis. Like what am I doing in this world, how I came, what is life and more questions that no can give specific answers to.
You must have seen Matrix movie, which explains a lot over this concept.

Elon Musk says” there is a one in a billion chance that we are NOT living in a simulation".


If you are not a scientist, you might be surprised to learn that nobody actually knows the exact value of the speed of light, we have a close approximation but not the exact value. The closest we can get to measuring it has to do with the precision of our machines but no matter how precise our machines get we will never be able to measure the exact value of speed of light.

A growing number of physicists are saying that reality is made of information.

Now, what does that mean????

Well, information is meaning in the form of symbolism. A language or code provide this kind of information conveying symbolism a very different type of symbol is one that represents itself, geometric symbols can do that, a cube can represent love if we say it does or it can represent really with minimal subjectivity itself. 

Could there be a code made out of geometry and if yes then what will that code express.

Quantum physics theory and classical physics indicate that reality is made of information and there’s no evidence that reality is made of anything older than information. Many physicists agree with this and many don’t but those that don’t agree that reality is made of information have no explanation for what reality is. If it's not information then energy? Energy is information, my friend.

Basically, its all about consciousness but even today scientists and physicists are unable to define what consciousness is.

We can see anything because anything can be simulated. Maybe there’s even a possibility that whatever answer we find about simulated reality, that answer could also be simulated.

Brain on its own is so powerful that it can give us reality like illusions so even if we get the answer may be that answer to simulated reality is also simulated.

I got a question today on Quora, which kind of directed me to write and discuss this one of the oldest theories that are unanswerable.
