Introduction: The Basics

There are so many ways I could start this conversation so I'm just going to jump right in! The main tenant of this idea revolves around how computers communicate, which is in binary code. Binary code is a series of 0's and 1's that represent sounds, colors (pixels), movement, commands, etc. The O's and 1's are really just low and high voltages being sent through tiny pieces of your computer called transistors. These voltages are turned into information. Basically, anything that can be explained mathematically (logically) can be processed by a computer. The second thing you must understand is that all matter is made of tiny, tiny particles called atoms, and quantum physicists study these tiny things. They know how they behave and they love describing them mathematically. With these two fundamental ideas in hand, binary code and atoms, we can begin to understand how to answer the question, "Are We Living a Computer Simulation?"

Binary code and atoms may hold the secrets to understanding how the universe has been created.

Your body is the perfect VR suit.
