Is Life A Simulation? Are We Living In A Matrix?

Simulation Theory has captured the imagination of great thinkers, from Plato to Descartes, and more recently, Nick Bostrom, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Ray Kurzweil. Even religions have hinted at the idea that we may be living in a simulated universe - from Hinduism and Buddhism to the Christian bible. Let’s examine iconic movies such as The Matrix and The 13th Floor, as well as concepts in Physics such as Quantum Superposition, to unveil what Simulation Theory is all about, the evidence to support it, why it might have been created - and ultimately - how to escape the Matrix!
