The Simulation Situation
Manage episode 469072749 series 3649858
Right, shall we question everything we think we know about reality?
Jack Austin and Adam Garcia are digging into simulation theory - where we might all be living in a sophisticated computer program, and Elon Musk reckons there's only a one-in-a-billion chance we're not.
No pressure then.
We're chatting about everything from Google's quantum computer that makes the universe look a bit slow, to how the ancient Egyptians were suspiciously good at building massive triangles without even having invented the wheel.
Plus, some properly unsettling psychedelic experiences that'll have you side-eyeing your mates wondering if they're NPCs.
Spoiler: Even if this is all just code in some cosmic computer, at least we can't blue-screen our way out of existence... right?
