Summary

Could Simulation Theory be the key to uniting science and spirituality once and for all? Dr. Rizwan Virk (MIT professor, video game pioneer, and bestselling author of The Simulation Hypothesis) joins Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown to explore whether we’re living inside a computer simulation and why this idea may be the most important breakthrough of our time. From bridging ancient spiritual wisdom with modern quantum physics, to explaining life’s glitches, suffering, and precognitive dreams, Dr. Virk unpacks why simulation theory could radically change the way we see reality. In this mind-bending podcast episode, Mayim & Jonathan dive into: - Why Rizwan Virk believes simulation theory is more spiritual than you think - The surprising connections between quantum physics, religion, and near-death experiences - The Virtual Reality moment that convinced Virk the simulation might be real - “Glitches in the Matrix” and the Mandela Effect - Are precognitive dreams & near-death experiences proof of the simulation? - Could aliens or future humans be running the simulation? - What’s beyond the simulation? Are we about to be unplugged? Whether you're spiritual, scientific, religious, or just simulation-curious, this is the rabbit hole you've been waiting for. Get ready to question everything on this week's MBB!

0:00.0	Hi, I'm I. Mialik. I'm Jonathan Cohen. And welcome to part two of our conversation with Dr. Riswan
0:10.1	Verk, the author of The Simulation Hypothesis. Dr. Verk got his degrees at MIT and Stanford University,
0:16.8	recently got his Ph.D. He's a venture capitalist, successful entrepreneur and video game pioneer
0:22.0	who's lived in the world of Silicon Valley, but also dips a deep toe into the worlds of
0:27.7	mysticism, AI, and how all of this might fit into a gigantic simulation that we may be living in.
0:35.9	In part two of our conversation with him, we're going to talk
0:38.9	about who might be behind a simulation. Is it God? Is it aliens? We're going to get to all of it.
0:44.5	Would it ever be possible that the creators of the simulation threaten to unplug us? We're going to
0:50.2	talk about the evolution of human consciousness and the awakening that's happening.
0:59.2	We're also going to talk about what do glitches in the simulation mean? I propose that they are clues to help guide us to the life that we are meant to live and each one of us can get a better
1:05.0	understanding of how to navigate the challenges that we face by becoming more aware of the clues that are presented.
1:13.6	Myam also asks about love.
1:15.7	Where does love fit in the simulation?
1:17.7	We will find out in part two of our conversation with Dr. Rizwanberg.
1:21.4	Break it down.
1:23.7	So is a near-death experience the reality that they see just another version of a simulation that's rendering?
1:34.0	Or is it outside of the simulation entirely?
1:36.7	Well, that's a good question.
1:37.7	And now you get into this idea of stacked simulations as well.
1:41.9	People ask me what's outside the simulation.
1:43.8	I don't take a strong position on
1:45.1	it, but I can go through the possibilities. Aliens. It could be future humans. I mean, the term,
