Is the Universe a Simulation?

What if everything around you, the people, the places, even your own thoughts, was coded into existence?

The simulation theory isn't just science fiction anymore. Some of the greatest minds in physics, philosophy, and technology believe there is a real probability that our entire reality is running inside an ultra-high-tech computer. And the math behind it is harder to dismiss than you'd think.

But here's what makes it truly unsettling. If we are living in a simulation, would we ever be able to tell? And if we found out, would it even change anything?

This episode breaks down the simulation theory from its philosophical roots to the cutting-edge science fueling the debate. Why Elon Musk believes the odds are overwhelming. What quantum physics suggests about the fabric of reality. And why millions of people are starting to question whether anything they've ever experienced was real.
