Fast-forwarding to modern times, we encounter Nick Bostrom, a contemporary philosopher who brought a new perspective to this age-old question. In 2003, Bostrom proposed that if there existed an advanced civilization with sufficient computational power, it could create detailed simulations of its ancestors. According to him, the likelihood of us living in one of these simulations is alarmingly high. This opens up a range of unsettling possibilities: are we real, or just a set of codes in an advanced virtual reality? These ideas didn't remain confined to academic discussions; they quickly infiltrated popular culture, shaping the way we think about reality. In 1999, the world was introduced to "The Matrix," a film exploring the idea that our everyday reality is a simulation created by intelligent machines. The protagonist, Neo, discovers that the world he knows is merely an elaborate computer program and embarks on a journey to uncover the truth and free humanity. "The Matrix" not only captured the public's imagination but also cast a critical eye on the concept of reality. The question it leaves us with is disturbing: if our reality can be so easily falsified, how can we be sure of anything?
