SIMULATION HYPOTHESIS

What is Simulation? A simulation of something is an imitation of a situation or a process. It is a kind of virtual reality.

 

But, how will you define REALITY itself? At first glance, your head gives as an answer that reality is nothing but what is real. Now, you say, what the "real" is? Is 'real' or 'truth' well-defined? "Yes, surely it is!" It is most of your answer, isn't it? But, I would rather say the truth is not well defined at all. Neither is the reality.

 

For example, a red ball for normal people (being theoretical, the word normal is given to something common or is in a massive number. So here "normal people" means the maximum people) is red indeed. But, for people with Deuteranopia (colour-blindness for red and green colour), it is not red at all. Besides, some insects see the world in black and white. You may think that the red colour of the ball is the fact; the vision of somebody with colour-blindness will be rejected. But theoretically what is being told as fact here is nothing but the truth seen or felt by a large number of people.

 

It should be understood that so-called 'normal people' are nothing but an infinitesimally small cluster of complex organic molecules w.r.t. the whole universe. Their vision can't be the absolute truth. The ball's being red is the relative truth for a massive individual only. Besides, the ball being grey is true for a colour-blind person and an insect. In other words, truth is relative. There is no valid meaning for absolute truth. Something absolutely true will be correct for every observer. But, actually, as the observer changes, the reality may change in every case.

 

 

From now on, let's say the RELATIVE REALITY simply as REALITY. What do you think is real to you? What you see, hear, smell, taste and touch feels real, isn't it? But, do you really see or hear or taste or touch something? NO. It is your sensory nerves that carry impulses to your brain after getting a stimulus. The impulse chemically changes something in a complex way inside your brain. The chemical change is nothing but your feeling. What you feel is the reality to you.

 

Here comes the big question. What if someone somehow gives the impulses or do the chemical reactions in our brain artificially? What will happen then? If someone does so, we will feel the same thing the person wanted us to feel. Though the impulses were artificial, we will have normal feelings. In this process, the vision, hearing, smell, and feeling of touch can be artificially produced to someone. In this process, the person will feel a completely fake reality and live in a totally new world without knowing it. Then the fake world will be nothing but a virtual reality or a simulation.

 

Here comes another big question. Who can tell that we are not already living in such a fake world or simulation? No way we can prove this reality really real. Aren't some things very weird? Why is the speed of light constant? Why is the Earth so perfect? Why does the universe follow some definite rules called as physics? These are quite similar to a well-programmed simulation. Therefore, some think this world is nothing but a simulation. But, as I told you before, there is yet no process to prove it. That's why this is a Hypothesis named 'SIMULATION HYPOTHESIS'.
