I've been intrigued by the increasing number of scientists that proclaim it's very likely that we're living in a computer simulation, "The Matrix" if you will.
Do you believe it's possible that one day, say in a thousand years, quantum computers will be so powerful as to create a world where the beings believe they're actually real? Say, if you could take The Sims 4 and make those beings think their world existed. And if these computers could do that, couldn't these computers run billions of simulations at once?
So, is it more likely that we're the actual civilization that invents this technology one day, or is it more likely that we're just one of billions of simulations that our ancestors are running?
