When the Matrix film landed in theaters 20 years ago (That's right, 2 decades already! Have you found yourself old?). The audience praised the content of this work, because it was not only extremely entertaining, but also opened up the conspiracy theory of the universe around us.

The Matrix has opened up many conspiracy theories about the simulated universe
The film revolves around the programmer Thomas Anderson. When he found out that the reality he was living was not real. Instead, his world is woven by transcendent AIs, in order to "harvest" energy from human body heat and bioelectricity.
Although the prospect of a future, where rebellious machines stand to take control and dominate the Earth, is far too far away. But according to philosophers, the fact that we are living in a simulated world is entirely feasible, and even quite capable, is true.
The rate that we live in simulated reality is 99.99999999%

Nick Bostrom - father of the universe emulator
In 2001, Nick Bostrom - a professor at the prestigious Oxford University, published his research. That is the study of the descendants' hypothesis, our next descendants use super-powerful computers to run a detailed simulation of the same size as the present world to learn about their ancestors.
Bostrom said, this superior machine will be able to perform 10 ^ 42 calculations in a mere 1 second. Not only that, it can create the entire history of mankind (including our thoughts, emotions and memories) using less than 1 / 1,000,000 of its processing power.

Even the genius Elon Musk believed it was all created by supercomputers.
Based on this argument, all humans and other entities in the universe are just data streams stored on the hard drive of a giant super computer. The professor also came to the conclusion that "It is almost certain that we are just living characters in a computer emulator."
15 years later, Elon Musk - founder of Tesla and SpaceX, is also known as the real Iron Man with a brilliant mind and talent, and also agrees with his views. Bostrum. At the Recode conference held in 2016, Musk made a noteworthy comment: if calculated in proportion, there is one of billions of possibilities that we do not live in a simulated world. That may be understood that Elon Musk is quite certain that we live in an emulator.
Another researcher believes: Our reality is a massive multiplayer game.

Rizwan Virk
Rizwan Virk - computer science expert and author of "The Simulation Hypothesis", shares with Vox: "It is possible that we are indeed live in a real simulator. "
We actually live as a video game and he calls it "The Great Simulation". "You can think of it as a game with super-high resolution and extremely accurate authenticity, in which all of us are characters" quoted Virk.

Although the World of Warcraft world is extremely open, it is nothing compared to our "virtual" universe.
He also said that the simulation pillar we might be living is far more complex than the popular online multiplayer games like Fortnite or World of Warcraft.
Virk also has to admit, no one dares to be 100% sure that everything around us is virtual, but asserts that "there is a lot of evidence to support this concept."
Many people are testing the hypothesis about the simulation world.
Since Bostrum's research appears, there have been many scholars trying to verify whether or not we humans are in a simulated reality. In 2017, Science Advances claimed that computer hardware did not have enough memory to create scenarios that could occur in our daily lives and store sufficient information.

Another group of physicists who have proposed the solution to this problem is cosmic rays. Physicists can simulate its space and subatomic particles by arranging coordinates on a grid.
So, nuclear physicist Silas Beane and colleagues published the study in 2014 that it is possible that the world we live in also uses the same coordinate system. The logic behind this inference is that if some types of particles - such as cosmic rays, always have the highest energy levels, their behavioral limitations may be due to the simulator's network.
"There is always the possibility that mock entities discover the system that makes it," the authors stated in the report.
However, perhaps we will never know the answer.

There are many scientists who think that we will never know if we are in a simulated world.
Marcelo Gleiser, a physicist and philosopher at Dartmouth University. He said in an interview with New Scientist that finding a solution to the Bostrum question at the present time, with limited knowledge and a large technological limit, is hopeless. Because if we exist in a simulated environment, then it is impossible for scientists to know the physical laws of the "real world" outside. They also did not know advanced techniques and technologies beyond our simulations, Gleiser said.

So all we know about computer processing power or the laws of physics can be just one aspect of the emulator.
Beane also expressed similar skepticism.
"If it is all simulations, then it does not exclude the possibility that what we know about nature is not real, and they are just an experiment of an artificial law of physics that the simulator makes. so only, "he told Discover Magazine.
