Physics & Cosmology
Simulation Hypothesis
Proposes that what we perceive as reality could be an artificial simulation, most famously formalized as a probabilistic trilemma about advanced civilizations.
Proponents
Nick Bostrom
Evidence For
A logically coherent probability argument; some physicists have explored (contested) analogies between physical law and computational structure.
Evidence Against
Currently unfalsifiable; no proposed experiment can distinguish a simulated reality from a "base" physical one.
