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.

Unless you believe in souls, our consciousness is made up of atoms, and some electrical stuff happening between them. Not magic. So we should eventually be able to recreate that, either physically or in a computer. Like way down the road, but shouldnt be impossible.
And if we could simulate a universe, what’s stopping that universe from simulating one as well. Then you realize it’s almost infinitely unlikely we’re the first universe.
