Since the beginning of the first communities, people have questioned their existence on the world. They have believed in a god or many gods or they believed nothing or some said that the human is the strongest being in the universe and metaverse. Throughout thousands of years ideas and beliefs took shape and theories have been put forward. Nowadays one of these ideas which is also well know is spoken. And that idea is the thought that we are in a simulation in a fake-world and fake-life like in the movie: the Matrix.
The simulation hypothesis:
The simulation hypothesis proposes that all of our existence is a simulated reality, such as a computer simulation. Imagine that you are the only being in the world and the other people are just simulation. Until a theory is completely proven that is true or false it is not accepted as true or false. So, the discussions and debates about the simulation theory are still going and people were divided into groups according to their opinions.
First group thinks that simulation theory is true and they are living in a simulation. Furthermore, they say that the people who don’t believe simulation theory is false is used against them to suppress them to prevent them to uncover the big secret
Second group thinks the simulation theory is completely false and all the beings are living within their souls. They support their idea by their divine beliefs showing for example the Bible as evidence saying that a god created them and they have their consciousness and responsibilities.
Third group thinks that simulation theory might be true because there may be forms of extra-terrestrial intelligence that are more technologically superior to humanity and might be controlling us by their advanced technology but some of them don’t find this possible as a chance of the existence of this kind of extra-terrestrial being is really low.
The last group thinks that simulation theory might be true or they would like to believe that theory but they cannot do this as they are connected to a different belief. I am also in that group. I think that simulation theory might be true because even I have a belief my belief can be also a part of the simulation and this drags us to a paradox or a question that cannot be answered forever.
In conclusion as my belief comes first, I do not believe the simulation theory that much. There are people who believes this or who do not believe it definitely and I think we must respect them as it is their idea which may be possible and logical because it is not refuted . Ultimately, I think this theory is really successful to question our existence and realizing our place in the universe and the reality.
