Quantum Mystery: Simulation Theory and The Double-Slit Experiment

The double-slit experiment remains one of the most baffling and revolutionary experiments in physics. At its core, it demonstrates that particles, such as electrons and photons, exhibit both particle-like and wave-like behavior depending on whether or not they are observed. This peculiar quantum behavior has led some to question the very fabric of reality, with some theorists proposing that this experiment provides compelling evidence that we live in a simulation. If reality changes based on observation, could it be that our universe functions like a computer simulation, rendering only what needs to be seen by an observer? Today we’ll explore the implications of the double-slit experiment, the connection between quantum mechanics and consciousness, and the tantalizing possibility that our reality is a digital construct.
