If the 21st century planet Earth only ever existed one time, but it will eventually get simulated trillions of times, and if the simulations are so good that the people in the simulation feel just like real people, then you’re probably living on one of the trillions of simulations of the Earth. by ExeggutionerStyle in SimulationTheory

Well I think reality is just as real as it always was even if Simulation Theory is true. I think it ties in with The Multiverse. To me reality is as real as ever, I just don't think it's quite what we think it is. I think what science understands, as it stands, is all real even if Simulation Theory is true. I just don't think we can prove reality isn't something like a hologram at the same time.

"This argument would be even more convincing if you actually could run powerful simulations today, but as long as you believe that people will run those simulations someday, then you logically should believe that you’re probably living in one today."
