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.

The idea is that there could be something outside our observable universe that makes everything run. As an idea it’s on the same level as a creator god. We also don’t have real means to find out if we are in a simulation or not. Maybe our thoughts are really simple in comparison to the real thing. Real reality would not need to be anything similar to ours, or we could be basically a carbon copy. Absolutely no way to tell.
