This is one of the subjects that got me writing fiction on Steemit in the first place. Actually, I was just writing about it recently, but haven’t posted yet.

Elon seems to be quite certain that we’re living in a simulation. I can’t be that sure, though. Quantum physics tells us the universe is based on computation, but whether those computations are part of a system designed by an advanced civilization may be impossible to determine.

If it’s a simulation, we also have to think about what created the universe that created the civilization that created the simulation. It seems just as likely to me that it was an eternal god as advanced but mortal beings. Bostrom’s paper gives three possibilities, but doesn’t consider how the existence of a god or gods could add to those possibilities.

We might not ever know. And I kind of like it that way. Gives us some mystery to ponder for what may be eternity.

Looking forward to reading The Genesis Generation.
