Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Curiosity.com.

Today you learn about the likelihood that we all live in a computer simulation.

Then author Thomas Kostigan explains how geoengineering might help cool the planet

and save the world.

Let's save some curiosity.

So, 2020 has been wild.

And while there are plenty of reasonable evidence-based explanations for it all,

it might be tempting to wonder if this is all a bit

artificial, a test of sorts or perhaps a simulation

well two physicists have just released a theoretical exploration of that last

possibility and their findings well they're exploration of that last possibility.

And their findings?

Well, they're surprising.

That is, unless you're one of the quantum computer simulation overlords,

in which case you already know that the math says

were almost definitely living in a simulation.

Oh boy.

This isn't the first time researchers have tried to figure out the probability that were in some

kind of incredibly complex computer model. One problem researchers have dealt with in the

past is that classical computers, which include practically every computer that's
