The Simulation Hypothesis This provocative idea is at the heart of the “simulation hypothesis,” a philosophical concept introduced in 2003. It proposes that if a civilization becomes ...

The technological bent to what's now called the simulation hypothesis was formalized in the paper "Are we living in a computer simulation?" by Nick Bostrom in 2003.

The simulation hypothesis took a more formal shape in 2003, when philosopher Nick Bostrom at Oxford University proposed a ...

No simulation showed a total shutdown before 2100, said lead author Jonathan Baker, an oceanographer at the Met Office. It could happen later, though, he said.

He claimed that simulation arguments, like Nick Bostrom’s, are fallacious and that, even if it is true that we live in a computer simulation, we should live our life just the same.
