In the finale of the Altered States series, Mike Porter makes the full case for and against the simulation hypothesis. From Nick Bostrom's trilemma to James Gates' error-correcting code buried in string theory, from the pixelation of reality at the Planck scale to David Kipping's Bayesian analysis, the evidence is laid out honestly. Then the question goes deeper: what if simulation theory and theology aren't competing explanations, but the same explanation in different languages, and what if the consciousness experiencing this reality is the same consciousness that built it?
