TED-Ed: Are we living in a simulation? | Zohreh Davoudi

The video explores the possibility that our universe is a simulation, governed by mathematical laws. It discusses the simulation hypothesis proposed by philosopher Nick Bostrom and considers how scientists are attempting to test this idea. Potential methods include detecting changes in constants or finding discrete units of space-time. However, challenges such as finite computing power and our current scientific limitations make it difficult to prove or disprove the hypothesis. The video emphasizes the importance of continuing to push scientific boundaries to understand the nature of reality.

Discuss the potential evidence that could suggest our universe is a simulation.

What challenges do scientists face in proving or disproving the simulation hypothesis?
