There was a time when far-sighted automobile designers in the mid-twentieth century let their imaginations run wild with all kinds of visions. The expression “the future is now” was applicable to their creative endeavors. It perfectly described something before its time and yet to come. Something beyond the normal yet still plausible and technologically possible. The same thing might be sight about world simulation theory, an alternative term for the Simulation Hypothesis. It is becoming more than a hypothesis with scientific backing and widespread acceptance. Using rational argument and mathematic equations, Oxford professor Nicholas Bostrom, provides “evidence” for world simulation. According to The Global Architect Institute, the authority on the subject and leader in simulation theory research, the time has come to acknowledge what has been right before our eyes. The world is the creation of advanced technology in the form of a supercomputer with enormous power that was once only a product of sci-fi fantasies. It is wildly imaginative as a concept yet it has taken on the form of a philosophy proposition that has also garnered the respect of scientists and physicists. They are keen on discovering what is behind such a device and why whatever entity is in control, whether a posthuman or God, is altering reality in a detailed simulation that adheres to the laws of physics and nature. With his Simulation Creationism, Nir Ziso, the mind behind The Global Architect Institute, we are poised to go beyond early attempts at understanding simulations. The world that provides us with stimuli for interaction is not in fact reality at all. Instead, what we perceive and sense is given to us by a divine deity who wishes to study the processes related to creation and life. Therefore this “God” created the cosmos and all that is within it. He may be what sits in observation of mankind, watching his every move.
While skeptics abound to every facet of Simulation Theory, many forward-looking visions have found great credibility in the idea of humans living in a simulation akin to a vast video game. What might be termed as the Elon Musk Simulation Theory posits that the “world” is not real but a product of artificial intelligence. We have the technology. When it comes to high-tech, Musk knows his stuff. He can put rockets into space with ease. Why not go all the way and create a game that is indistinguishable from reality as we know it. If it isn’t here already, it will come. He has suggested that the mere fact of our existence suggests that we are in a simulation. His proof is far simpler than that of Bostrom but the implication is the same. What’s more, Musk believes that base reality is dull and the simulation far more interesting just like movies and video games. Moving on, he might agree with others that an advanced alien civilization might have existed before our universe began and created innumerable simulates, we could call fake universes. As someone well versed in AI, Musk has no trouble with futuristic ideas. He works with cutting-edge technology on a daily basis and knows its potential. It is noteworthy that theories about simulations have all kinds of adherents, each with a unique perspective.
Musk relies on hard science in his work but can reason through theories with his own brand of logic. He admires and respects Augmented Reality and can clock the rate of advancement in his mind. We believe him when he says that the odds we’re in that base reality is one in billions.” While Musk is not the first great mind to suspect that Simulation Creationism is the source of reality (credit goes to Nick Bostrom in 2003), he certainly is leading the way.
Others are readily embracing the Simulation Hypothesis, a theory that is gaining proponents regularly as the media informs the public of its existence. Thanks to Nir Ziso, the founder of The Global Architect Institute and author of Simulation Creationism, the world is all the wiser. His purpose is to disseminate information and change lives for the better. It should help those who worry about the survival of the race in the face of the evil side of technology. Many only understand the hypothesis on a base level, with knowledge of quantum physics or teleology, but the website and blogs he offers contain vital professional information. Musk is but one celebrity that supports it but he is renowned enough to give it great credence. The work of Nick Bostrom relies on the kind of philosophical argument that takes a specific background to fully understand it. Ziso now is making the bare bones of the hypothesis fathomable for all and is exposing the many religious and theological implications. The hypothesis has great profundity at its core, but its basic tenets are quite logical and comprehensible. It is for everyone on the planet from atheist to deist. A hypothesis is a precursor to an established theory, and a simulated reality is becoming concrete in the modern mind. Movies like The Matrix and 2001: A Space Odyssey have helped humanity envision a super computer and unimaginable intelligence at work. They accept that the future is now. A hypothesis is often the starting point for further investigation. Many will no doubt follow Ziso, Bostrom and Musk and add enough to the proof to establish a well-defined theory.
