What if we’re actually living in a simulation?Tom Campbell, a Physicist, lecturer, and author, joins us today to prove that's the case. In this conversation, Tom breaks down his perspective on reality, consciousness, and the role AI plays in it all. From the idea of the soul to how our choices shape experience, he shares a framework that challenges how we normally think about life, time, and existence. It’s a look at what might really be going on behind the scenes, and what that means for how we live.EPISODE #560 IS SPONSORED BY:🎟️ Get 15% off at Kaizen (clean electrolytes): https://LiveKaizen.com/align==========OUR GUEST==========THOMAS W. CAMPBELL (born December 9, 1944) is a physicist, lecturer, and author of the trilogy My Big TOE (Theory of Everything), which aims to unify general relativity, quantum mechanics, and metaphysics along with the origins of consciousness. His work is based on the simulation argument, proposing that reality is both virtual and subjective. In 2017, Campbell and his co-authors published the paper "On Testing the Simulation Theory" in the International Journal of Quantum Foundations, suggesting several experiments to test this hypothesis.Campbell holds both a B.S. and an M.S. in Physics. He started but did not complete a PhD in experimental nuclear physics, with a thesis on low-energy nuclear collisions. He worked as a systems analyst with U.S. Army technical intelligence for a decade before moving into the R&D of technology supporting defensive missile systems. For nearly 30 years, he worked within the U.S. missile defense community as a contractor to the Department of Defense. Most recently, he worked for NASA’s Ares I program (the successor to the Shuttle), assessing and solving problems of risk and vulnerability to ensure mission and crew survivability and success.=============TOM CAMPBELL=============🌐 WEBSITE ▶ https://www.my-big-toe.com/🐦 X ▶ https://x.com/tomcampbell_mbt📸 IG ▶ https://www.instagram.com/tomcampbellmbt🤳 TIKTOK ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@mybigtoeofficial?_t=8bBvx0GV12z&_r=1👉 YOUTUBE ▶ https://www.youtube.com/@twcjr44=================AARON ALEXANDER=================📸 IG ▶ https://www.instagram.com/aaronalexander/🤳 TIKTOK ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@alignmethod👉 SUBSCRIBE ▶ https://www.youtube.com/@AlignPodcast?sub_confirmation=1🌐 WEBSITE ▶ https://www.alignpodcast.com===========TIMESTAMPS=================ABOUT======Aaron Alexander is the best-selling author of The Align Method and host of The Align Podcast — a Top 10 Philosophy show with over one million monthly views.
