The Simulation Argument

The Simulation Argument suggests that future advanced civilizations might have the technology to run highly detailed computer simulations of their ancestors or past worlds. If such simulations are possible and numerous, then it’s likely that we are currently living inside one of these simulations rather than in the "real" historical universe. Essentially, the argument raises the possibility that our reality could be a sophisticated artificial construct, prompting us to consider whether our experiences and existence are part of a created simulation instead of an actual, independent universe.
