The Simulation Hypothesis: An MIT Computer Scientist Shows Why AI, Quantum Physics, and Eastern Mystics All Agree We Are in a Video Game:
"It's a good introduction to the the idea that our world (our universe) is a simulation. It presents some interesting ideas and makes you look at the universe with a fresh eye. There are some details on how this works and what are the components of th"

"Very interesting idea, and an enjoyable and thought provoking read. It hasn't managed to convince me. But's it certainly got me thinking about the possibility that we're living in a simulation. If we are, and my character controller can see I'm typin"

"This book turned out to be more interesting than I had initially assumed it to be. The theory of reality being a simulation is not new, and I have always been skeptical of anybody who believe this to indeed be the case. However, this book does raise "

Wisdom of a Yogi: Lessons for Modern Seekers from Autobiography of a Yogi
by Rizwan Virk (Goodreads Author) |
|
“Sliding Doors and Run Lola Run (1998)—These two movies, neither of which is technically science fiction, were released in the same year. We see the idea of timelines branching from a single point which lead to different outcomes. In the example of Sliding Doors, a separate timeline branches off of the first timeline and then exists in parallel for some time, overlapping the main timeline, before merging back in. In Run Lola Run, on the other hand, we see Lola trying to rescue her boyfriend Manni by rewinding what happened and making different choices multiple times. We see visually what running our Core Loop might look like in a real-world, high-stress situation.”

“Eyebrows were raised in 1994 when Peter Shor, working at Bell Labs, came up with a quantum algorithm that could break most modern encryption by using quantum computing algorithms. Today’s encryption is based on the difficulty of factoring large numbers. Even today, although there are no quantum computers that can implement Shor’s algorithm in full yet, there is worry that most of our encryption will be broken in a few years as more capable quantum computers come along. When this happens, there will be a rush to quantum-safe encryption algorithms (which cannot be broken quickly by either classic or quantum computers).”
