In 2003 Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom raised the question: Are you living in a computer simulation?
Now scientists say they can test whether that’s the case or not.

Bostrom posited a compelling argument that at least one of the three following propositions is true:

1. The human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a ‘posthuman’ stage;
2. Any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof);
3. We are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.

The other question is:
Does it matter that we live in a computer simulation?

It does, to some degree. It doesn't matter for life, but exploiting the fact that we are simulated could definitely be interesting. I for one am looking forward to the first C3, ShmooCon or DEF CON talks on pententesting the fucking universe!

If it were a mere simulation i want cheatcodes

At least we know we can not dynamically allocate more energy than the fixed amount assigned for our universe.
Maybe black holes are actually memory leaks, I hope there's a garbage collector roaming around somewhere...

black holes are engine bugs indeed, we will look into it. thanks for the report.

When i was younger i used to think that we're all part of something's dream, and i hope it does not wake up.

Scientists' answer was :
If our universe is a computer simulation created by a super civilization , sooner or later some parameters should be reset
You can simulate on your PC the system sun_earth but in the long run you lose the control
From the big bang onwards , however, the so called
" universal constants " appear to be....constant thus we dont live in a PC simulation, scientists said
