The Simulation Hypothesis

EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]
RATE THIS

The idea that the universe might be a computer simulation runs through this film's interviews with physicists, cosmologists, and mathematicians, including Max Tegmark, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Paul Davies, and James Gates. Each lays out a piece of the case: Tegmark's mathematical universe hypothesis, Gates's discovery of error-correcting code patterns embedded in the equations of supersymmetry, and the philosophical argument, traced back to Nick Bostrom, that any civilization capable of running ancestor simulations would likely run many of them, making a simulated existence statistically more probable than a base one. The film moves between these voices without settling on a single verdict, instead laying out where the physics gets genuinely strange, quantum indeterminacy, the pixelated feel of certain particle behavior, and where the argument is still speculation dressed as science. Skeptics get airtime too, pushing back on how much of this is testable at all. It ends with the question open: not proof of a simulation, but a set of reasons some serious scientists take the possibility seriously.
