The Universe being a simulation initially seemed like a
pretty crazy and unrealistic concept, but as I watched the video I learned that
it might not be so crazy after all. I think this video made me realize that I shouldn’t
reject a theory before I even hear it. I think that when information is
presented that conflicts with previous knowledge it is quickly rejected without
being given a fair chance at consideration. I honestly felt like the video made
a strong case for itself. The video actually made me give some serious thought
to what it was trying to say. We run realistic simulations all the time to
predict outcomes and test hypotheses. I don’t think it is too far fetched that
a more sophisticated species could be running a simulation to figure out the
different possibilities of what happened to our planet. You can’t reject a
theory unless you have evidence that proves it untrue. To my knowledge, there
has not been evidence to definitively suggest that this theory is incorrect.
The things that we run simulations on don’t know that they are part of a
simulation, so we wouldn’t know if we were part of one either. I still think it
is a pretty crazy concept and I don’t believe the universe is a simulation, but
I did at least give it a fair chance of considering it as a possibility.
