What if all of this (*gestures to the world at large*) is just a simulation? (No, really, physicists think it might be.)
My personal blog about the random things that are in my life: writing, knitting, and substitute teaching.

I wouldn't be surprised. It definitely is more than we currently know.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if that would make me feel better or not.
DeleteI alwyas suspected we may b living in a matrix! or may be being controlled by Aliens :P

There may be a reason The Matrix resonated with so many.
DeleteThen I'd like to file a bug report. It is horribly broken.
ReplyDeleteThere's a book on the best seller list right now, Sea of Tranquility, by Emily St. John Mandel, that explores that very topic. I enjoyed the first Matrix movie very much. As a long time SF reader, it wouldn't surprise me at all. I just hope that the creators of our universe simulation don't decide to pull the plug on us.
ReplyDeleteWhat would happen if they did pull the plug? Would we cease to be? Or would we exist someplace else?
DeleteI don't think it would matter one way or the other. We still have the lives we are living to live.
ReplyDeleteI wish they would change the scene totally.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Sometimes I think maybe we're small organisms, teensy ones, living in a huge body. We can't see it because we're way too small. The earth itself (and universe as we see it from our size perspective and location) could be a particle floating in the fluids of a huge body. It's all in the scale and perspective.
ReplyDeleteVery true.
DeleteThe divide between the simulated and the real anyway looks quite blurred often.
ReplyDeleteWhat? It’s not someone’s dream were traipsing through?
ReplyDeleteI don't think we'll ever figure it out. I don't know if I really want to.
