Summary

UFOs capture our attention like nothing else can as we hear stories of these flying wonders and contemplate their origins, missions, and purposes. Some captivate more than others, literally capturing unsuspecting citizens to be brought aboard these enigmas for more baffling experiences. Philip Mantle is an outstanding researcher, author, and firsthand witness to the world of the freaky woo-woo.His new book, “UFO Reflections,” boasts a wide variety of said “woo” and offers us all greater insights into this highly strange phenomenon. In our Plus+ extension, we visit an MIT computer scientist and game designer Rizwan Virk in his book The Simulation Hypothesis as he takes a swing at one of the wildest ideas floating around modern culture: what if reality itself is basically a massively multiplayer simulation? He tries to connect ancient mystical ideas with modern computational thinking. Whether he’s onto something profound or just brilliantly overthinking Zelda, this one opens up a ton of questions about consciousness, perception, and what this place actually is.
