what do physicists mean when they say we potentially live in a simulation?

786 views

I get what a simulation is, at least in the very literal sense. What I’m experiencing feels like reality, it would have to, it’s all any of us have ever known. But what would it mean for us if we truly lived in a simulation? Can it just be turned off and we cease to exist? If we found out we did live in one, how could it change our reality? How do we even hypothesize such a thing? I have zero background in physics just so we’re at an understanding of my physics understanding.

See, it doesn’t bug me because my whole thing of: be chill to everyone and pat dogs works equally well if this is a simulation or reality.
