The Simulation Situation

Right, shall we question everything we think we know about reality? (Yes, even that brew you're holding right now.)

Jack Austin and Adam Garcia are digging into simulation theory - where we might all be living in a sophisticated computer program, and Elon Musk reckons there's only a one-in-a-billion chance we're not.

No pressure then.

We're chatting about everything from Google's quantum computer that makes the universe look a bit slow, to how the ancient Egyptians were suspiciously good at building massive triangles without even having invented the wheel.

Plus, some properly unsettling psychedelic experiences that'll have you side-eyeing your mates wondering if they're NPCs.

Spoiler: Even if this is all just code in some cosmic computer, at least we can't blue-screen our way out of existence... right?
