Are we living in the Matrix? What is reality? Many scientists, philosophers and mathematicians believe in the simulation theory, the idea that everything you see, hear, touch, smell and feel is all just a computer generated simulation of what you think is real life.  In this episode we explore the evidence and try to figure out if everything is real...isn't.  Hear the story of the tech company executive who died mysteriously and her disturbing final words. Hear the stories about glitches in the matrix, the Mandela Effect, and the mathematical evidence that points to us all being part of some massive computer generated illusion.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theconspiratorspodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0_SAREQYopjrr0CNIrrRrQ Sources:  https://www.simulation-argument.com/https://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...https://www.scientificamerican.com/ar... https://www.wired.com/story/living-in...https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/26/op...https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/n...https://www.discovery.com/science/Dou... https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Simul.... https://www.simulation-argument.com/s...https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/n...https://www.nspirement.com/2022/03/06...https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/...https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article...https://www.space.com/universe-simula... https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/20...https://bigthink.com/thinking/why-the... https://bigthink.com/13-8/simulation-... https://www.wired.com/2014/11/planck-length/ Music: Music: Long Note Three by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/3993-long-note-three Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Music: Long Note Two by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/3993-long-note-three Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Learn more about your ad choices.
