Are we living in a simulation? MIT professor claims the scenario is 'more likely than not' - and says we could create our own artificial world within the next 100 years

[David Icke]: A prominent computer scientist and MIT professor believes there's a very good chance we're all living in a computer simulation.

The idea of humans living in a simulated reality controlled by robotic overlords has been much explored by academics, experts and notable figures like tech mogul Elon Musk.

But in MIT researcher Rizwan Virk's new book, 'The Simulation Hypothesis,' he probes the idea further, even examining how long it might take before humans could use today's technology to construct their own simulation of reality.

There are several aspects of our world that explain why it's likely we are all living in a simulation, Virk said in an interview with Vox...read more>>>...
