Summary

What if everything you see, feel, and experience isn’t the real world at all, but instead a meticulously rendered simulation? In this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, we dive deep into one of the most mind-bending questions in science and philosophy: Are we living in a simulation? Join Speaker A as they break down the latest Nobel Prize-winning physics experiments that challenge our basic assumptions about reality itself. From the quantum strangeness of the double-slit experiment to the mind-boggling implications of entangled particles, we explore why the universe may operate just like a video game—and what that means for everything you think you know.

1:00.8	certainly not real. In October of 2022, the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded for proving that the

1:11.6	The technical phrase is that the universe is not locally real.
1:15.6	The existence of an object and its position and movement are merely a set of probabilities
