Simulated Creation investigates the idea that our reality might be a simulation running on massive computers, possibly created by an advanced consciousness or entity. The book dives into various explanations for the creation of the universe, such as the boot command in computing and observational physics that suggests the universe comes into existence upon being observed. Considering the possibility of multiple simulations based on different initial conditions and laws of physics, the book also acknowledges the etymology of the word "universe" as compatible with a single run of a simulation. Dealing with religious and mythological references, Simulated Creation explores ancient Gnostic beliefs and their modern adherents, like certain billionaires, who maintain that we might be living in a matrix-like world, suggesting it could be akin to a "womb of matter." The book also references the Buddha's teachings on Mara, the personification of death and evil, and his recommendation for one to seek enlightenment or moksha to avoid the cycle of repeated samsara, or reincarnation. Simulated Creation is written for a rational scientific audience, those hungry for truth and seeking answers that challenge conventional wisdom. The book delivers a logical, balanced, and masculine take on these topics, ensuring it remains accessible to the average reader.
Combining scientific research with philosophical musings, "Simulated Creation" is an interesting look into the intriguing idea that our world is a computer-generated illusion. The book is well-balanced and pays close attention to every detail. Its logical analysis draws readers in and makes them think about big questions about life and awareness.
