"Several physicists have suggested that our Universe is not real and is instead a giant simulation. Should we care?"Here is a philosophical take:
50 years ago we could not have heard this conversations. We didn't have the means to do so. Computers were barely known, leave alone computer simulated reality. In fact it took the Matrix to get this theory into the public domain.
So, assuming the Scientists are now right, did the
giant simulation exist before computers or have we only recently created this supposed reality, once we found the language to describe it?
What greater, crazier, stranger, Tychoan, realities are we yet to create?
