Script:
The idea that we live in a simulation is referred to as the "simulation hypothesis". The heart of this line of thinking is that our universe was created by some advanced form of intelligence, far superior to any living beings we could think of. It's an entity that created a simulation of our reality and existence. And the world that we know today was created just using His version of "computers".
Some scientists have actually taken things a bit further than just pondering about this sophisticated idea. For example, Stephen Hawking thought we had a 50% chance of being living in a simulated reality. That's why he was backing the "Breakthrough Listen" project. This is a project that aims to look for strings or any other signatures that would prove that we're part of a giant computer game.
But let's go back in time first. The simulation hypothesis began to take hold in the early 2000s, after a paper was published by Nick Bostrom, a professor at Oxford University. As he suggested, it is not at all beyond the realm of possibility that in the history of the universe, technology will develop that will enable beings to construct computer simulations of complete worlds. There may be many more computer simulations than real worlds. And if that's the case, there could be many more beings trapped in a simulation than those who aren't.
Given all this, one might even come to the conclusion that we are more likely to be in a simulation than not. But just when you think that it sounds so unconvincing, well, we found that there are no obvious indications that we're not in a simulated reality.
So far, we haven't touched anything from science. So, let's take a look at one area of physics that might be linked to this simulation hypothesis.
When we delve into quantum mechanics, we discover that it offers useful hints about whether or not we're living in a simulation. For example, when we track the position and momentum of a subatomic particle, we only observe that it behaves like a wave until we look at it, after which it becomes a particle. This is the notion that a subatomic particle exists as a wave of probabilities, or what's known as the quantum probability wave. So before the wave collapses, we can't come to any definite conclusions about the particle's reality.
One question you might ask is... Why isn't everything certain at the tiniest level of our existence? Well, one reasoning behind this might be due to the computing power. Imagine, in order for all particles in the universe to exist, all of their possible states of existence must be calculated. That would certainly require massive amounts of computer's capacity, for everything to be computed. After all, it's just more efficient to create some sort of probability.
Now if you think about his interpretation, everything happening at once is akin to being part of a giant computer game. In this game, we are all playable characters, staring at each other wondering what's about to happen. We are all helpless epiphenomena who flit through time and space. With nothing but our delusions of understanding.
We touched upon the idea that all probabilities exist until one particular outcome is observed. It's called quantum indeterminacy (QI).
If we assume the existence of QI and hidden levels of reality, it would mean that there must be some sort of mechanism present to hide information from us until we’ve observed it one way or another. Let's say you were not looking at a room right now but every single object in the room existed as both spread out waves and localised particles until you observed them. This could possibly suggest a fourth dimension where all probabilities exist at once.
The simulation hypothesis could just be a thought experiment that gives us a small glimpse of how QI and hidden levels of reality might coexist. If it does come true, we would have to assume the existence of other universes as well as physical laws beyond our knowledge. This would simply tell us one thing; reality is way bigger than we can ever imagine. And the main difference being, the architect of this universe would be an external observer, who can exist outside of it entirely.
The idea that our universe is nothing more than an elaborate supercomputer simulation is actually quite frightening. - Фільми й анімація
I seriously can’t believe how you’re still a relatively small channel with this kind of quality content! You deserve so much more! Your channel is without a doubt one of my all time favorites! Keep it up :)
Thanks mate, exciting times!
I was thinking the same thing. More ppl need to know about this channel. The content and visuals are top notch!
See I see something great it’s about to blow up this is great content and I don’t even usually watch stuff like this but on ur Chanel the way it’s presented it’s super interesting and entertaining it really intrigues me
Agreed
Yasss that's unavoidable true
The opening segment looks straight out of a Hollywood movie. Sponsor must be proud to see their logo there 🤣
We indeed spent a huge effort for it!
Don’t get scared if you see a ghost
It’s just someone in spectator mode
Oh I see them all the time. They don’t stay for long though.
😣😬😢
Everybody, to the extent that I scrolled down, got an acknowledgement from *On HiGh* except for you...
Either our esteemed peer is lacking the emotional intelligence necessary to respond graciously, (sadly this effect increases in direct correlation to increase in intellectual intelligence (that sounds like it should be an oxymoron if ever there were one- or a double negative at the very least)🤭(Shhh... no laughing during class- or even after in conversation for that matter🤪)
Or perhaps your comment frustrated them, since it showed how little you were paying attention during the lecture, idk.
What I do know is that it was still funny, regardless, & I appreciate your humor.
Thank you.
Fun quiz: I was "secretly hinting" at several movies in this video, either verbally or visually. What is the most prominent movie title with the longest combined screen time in this video?
The matrix
Arrival
Arrival
The Source Code, maybe? 🤩😸
Source Code
Either we are real or simulated, we have to try are best to lead a happy life. 😀 Nice video!😀🌌
Yes! Thank you!
Whether we're real or in a stimulation it's still real if you base reality on tangibility. Full stop
There are options. If indeed the nature of reality is empty, nothing ; then by living in a compassionate way towards reality we bring good things into it. If the nature of reality is as it seems, then doing good still results in positive outcomes.
I questioned what is real. I discovered I am not real, and cannot be real, as the nature of all things is nothing.
And yet, a dream is a pleasant way to experience this universe.
Ciao!
All that info was so complex for me to digest, but that conclusion made me think that even if we are living in a simulated reality, our life will always have meaning if we choose to. Man that was deep!
Your videos are dope!🔥💕
Interesting!
GODD THAT ADVERTISEMENT PLACEMENT WAS SOO MUCH SMOOTH
Dude you are just 🥵💯
The best underrated channel I've ever seen 🥺💯
Wow, thanks!
Broo that ad promotion is just so smooth hahaha. And also great content you got there! Keep up!
Glad you like it!
A PERFECT CHANNEL WHICH I HAVE EVER WANTED
Thank you for your support!
Underrated channel on the planet
They should have unplugged us by now.
By the way this is the most underrated info channel I've ever visited.
Your videos are so addictive, first time i saw someone so good at explaining something that is hard to understand, now i have plenty videos to watch it’s cool!
3:58 smooth....really smooth bruh
Excellent video! You have your own style that really suits the content. Wishing you every success man.
I still can't believe how this chanell is having a just 53k subs while this channel deserves 53million subs indeed
Every time I get to recommend this channel, I do. Every time. Keep going mate, fantastic.
Legend! Thanks, we'll do our best 🙌
A great, very interesting video, as always. I listened to a podcast were they discussed the Simulation Hypothesis, and they mentioned that one possible way to test it was to (in the future, when the technology exists) travel near the speed of light through the universe. Perhaps the traveler would see different “frames” pass through the program(s) and look for “glitches in the matrix.” Thinking about this, we, perhaps, could observe those “glitches” now, by observing sub atomic particles as we accelerate them to near the speed of light.
Thanks, very interesting insights 🙏
I enjoyed the analysis as I had a thought today that only an empty moment exists, until we place a thought into space, and then a step forward, as if we are weaving a tapestry within the quantum simulation.
1 Day your channel is going to get the subscribers you deserve.
Am glad that I joined in the initial stage.
Thanks to UA-cam suggestions :)
Keep going
This channel is really underrated .the quality content is just amazing and most important thought provoking.BEEYOND IDEAS and ARVIN ASH were mt favorite science channels
That was a great segway into the paid promotion, I mean really smooth! Great Job love the video and channel! 🌻
Just found this channel, its amazing! Keep up the great work 💪🏾
3:56 you killed the vibe dude lol
That had to be the smoothest transition into an add that I have ever seen. Well done sir, you got me.
This channel is a gem yet to be discovered amazing content 💯
Woah... I just found ur channel & I'm completely blown away by ur content quality... feels so good that I can a part of ur journey from early ... belive me this is one of the best channel I've found till today & u will be much more in upcoming days.. And again thanks for ur awesome content... really loved it cant wait for next vid. •:]
oh man.. your visuals are so stunning. love this channel
Yeah super quality content can’t wait for this guy to blow up
I absolutely love this channel, very interesting and quality contents but most importantly very easy to understand the most complicated topics.
I just found this channel and I gotta say, I'm amazed by the quality of the content and like, how it doesnt have a million subscribers
The simulation hasn't allowed it
The content as well as the editing is fire👌
Just found you, amazing videos ! Liked and subbed , I’ll make sure to watch them all, thanks for taking the time and sharing knowledge
The opening, ooks like The Purge movie and I didnt predict the promotion, so smooth 😆
This is the one of the best channel of yt.. u deserves million of subs
Watched your couple of videos. Subscribed 👌
That ad was so smooth that my butter hardened itself and went back inside the refrigerator.
This channel is GEM.
Your content is mind boggling! 🔥🔥🔥
Great video and great channel! Thank you!! 😊
Ngl man ! Your deserve atleast million+ subs ❤️
I love this channel!
another stellar video
Have you ever thought of ever making a movie? Cuz I would pay just to watch all your videos, its so wow.
What a fabulous channel 💖
My idea about the nature of reality is even odder - I think, that this universe is actually the consequence of all the possible reasons. In other words, every possible explanation about why the universe exists (consistent with science and logic) is equally true and all of them are true in the same time. The universe is both a simulation and a natural phenomenon, a statistical probability and a mathematical inevitability.
i love your channel broooo
great job!❤
Outstanding!!!
Subscribed!
That segway to the ad was smooth af
There are so many stupid channels having millions of subs, and quiet a lot brilliant channels like this struggling to make a mark. That's the sad truth. I wish the simulation hypothesis is true!
Amazing Content...
Applauses...
Great content
Thought Provoking Video 👍👍
Definitely one of the most smoothest vpn ads I have seen thus far 🤣 well played.
This is amazing
You have cleared all my doubts... ❤
Your channel is really good. I am subscribing and making my sister to do so as well.
This video just blew my mind! I'm a Hindu and My parents have been teaching me
That this world is a game and We have to get liberated from world (in philosopical way) and I thought it's rubbish but after this video these things are starting to make sense
How can you bend my mind from an unbelievable concept to a typical advertisement, Damn Man you are extremely talented 😂😂
Great video! Keep it up ;)
Thanks, will do!
This content is unreal. Keep making videos, the blow up is coming.
Cus we are in a simulation
Ooooooo spooky spooky lol
great video
I don't feel myself as simulated being, as nothing is taking over me. Thanks for the insights.
Good content
There might be a way to know if we are in simulation .
Wave / particle : when we wake up , we wake up to the state of particle . When we sleep our conscience becomes a wave .
Sometimes , there are glitch,
I can not find something of mine until few days later , and I was sure it was where I found it before I thought I lost it .
If one is more careful one may reasonably realize that we wake up , we do not wake to where we went to sleep . Though how ever small changes there are changes , not the arrow of time . The room I slept is not the same as I woke to .
I think wave and particle state of our conscious is how we can come to realization if we do live in simulation. Thanks
And the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment.
Surah Al-Hadid, (57) , Verse #20
Btw ur work is awesome , bravo 👍👍👍 Quality of work deserves 10 million subscriber ,
That's impressive !
Throughout history explanations of reality are just a reflection of the highest form of technology of that time. Heidegger said something along those lines.
Instant f*ckin subscribed❤
These theories seem to go hand in hand with the spiritual realizations people have on psychedelics.- from a spiritual pov, choosing to come here to experience this life with a life plan for soul growth. This world technically would be a simulation for us to forget everything and come to to have new experiences, whether it’s a computer simulation or not it’s the same concept.
Well presented, very matured and thought inspiring. My understanding is that we are a super intelligent simulation created by level 7 civilization.
Another excellent video. It seems to me that belief in a simulated reality is the same as believing in a religion. Believing an omnipotent “being” created our reality is tenant to both ideas.
I think the discoveries or conclusions are pointing to Sri Shankaracharya's Advaitha siddantha.. It's about onnenes and the whole world we live in is an illusion, like dream in awakening state. He demonstrated this very long back!!
Bro I am waiting for your next vedio.
From the point of view of consciousness we’re also in the same predicament.
We are experiencing the world, each having to come to terms with the absurdity of having occurred.
From our own point of view we could be living in a simulation; who is it that’s aware that you’re thinking?
Regardless of the origins, all we have is this experience. How we pay attention to it has to be its value.
It's began as simulated when we accepted quantum mechanics and "laws".
it would be amazing if you explained ,what is a singularity ?
I’m a neuroethologist… so, the possibility that having knowledge won’t change anything at all…it’s frightening… because it might be true. But what is then the point of knowledge? To me is not accumulation of facts, but, understanding. I think humans are hardwired to seek understanding.
If our world is a simulation then the creators were very inefficient by wasting 4.5 billion years in life evolution.
Why create all sorts of convoluted twists and turns like viruses , cancer, mass extinctions, knowledge to question if we live in a simulation or not?
The funny thing is that all this virtual world and simulation only became popular AFTER the movie the Matrix came out. 🙄
Pause video
Take 2 rips of Ecto Cooler
Re start video
It's been discontinued, need to time travel for that!
Why would the resolution of this simulated world be so high? Why such amazing levels of detail?
Why not make it super low-poly? The inhabitants wouldn't know the difference after all!
Man, Reality and simulation are two different things and you can simulate something but can it be reality? can it communicate, can it take the decision, can it work its own? it's just misunderstood by the scientist.
And man you don't understand this I think
Smooth ad
🙌
I too thought about simulation!
Reminds me of rick & morty S6E2 😂 i hope we are, cause this simulations fun 🙌
Even if were not trapped in a simulation, we are trapped on this planet haha. Its pretty wild if you think about it.
Trapped?
Soo hAppy i found this!
Now combine this with the time dilation thing: If the computer is near a planet with a high amount of gravity he had more time to render a second on earth because time on earth would pass slower!
If WE are in a simulation..
Whoever is gaming MY character is friggin AFK!
It's a sad reality for right now.
That vpn segment was unexpected lol
I like this video its interestyng
I hope they have a better pc to stimulate entire universe maybe better than my potato pc
Hey Henry.....Can they be superposition longitudinal waves?
Very good, thank you. ☦️
Where are you now? I can't wait your next video.
Sorry, but I can't see it now, as my JEE exam on 3rd oct,I will see it afterwards☺️.

What's the purpose of simulation? What would the entity beyond time get out of this simulation? These are the real questions!
I'm remembering that episode of Rick and Morty
This is beyond my understanding as I'm a student of before life. It's interesting how interested mentally I've always had a thing for it, it's funny because my name is Genesis. Ever since I started being aware of life and nature my mind wonders why these things happen and how's does it happen. I have gotten deep into my thoughts while smoking thinking what if nothing existed would it be shapes everywhere in black and white, who knows. For the simulation theory I a part of me does believe is a thing to wonder about, while majority part of me believes is alot more complex than something observing us through a computer.
Your grammar and sentence structure leaves so much to be desired
