What Would Count as Evidence of a Simulated Reality?

This episode dives into the kinds of observations that might be interpreted as signs our world is a simulation and why most can be explained by ordinary science or human cognition. We break down what makes an observation robust, how to guard against coincidence and bias, and which experiments could in principle test for discrete cutoffs or computational limits. Ultimately we assess whether any future data could convincingly shift simulation theory from speculation into empirically grounded science. Learn more about your ad choices.
