Part 2/8:
The idea of living in a simulation was first encountered by many, including Andy, during their early exploration of science and philosophy. Recalling his introduction to the concept in a publication like New Scientist, Andy reflects on the unsettling nature of the hypothesis. Initially, the notion of a simulation proved overwhelming, prompting a desire to dismiss it entirely. Yet as time progressed, this concept began to resurface in discussions around quantum physics and alternative realities, bridging the gap between philosophy and science.
