Ever since the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations, humanity has questioned whether the world we live in is real. At that time he claimed that the world was in a picture. Later, this question evolved into the question “Are we living in a simulation?”
Recently, German physicist Melvin Vopson announced that he will conduct an experiment that can prove whether humanity is living in a simulation. Vopson has even begun to raise the money needed for this experiment with donations.
So how will he prove it?
Vopson, in his theory, which he put forward in 2019 and based on Einstein’s general theory of relativity, suggested that every piece of information in the universe has an end and is measurable. According to this theory, knowledge also had a mass, and this mass could be calculated thanks to the necessary technology. The famous physicist also claims that he wants to calculate this mass and “obtain” pieces of information that are not normally accessible, and examine them, thereby proving whether the universe is a simulation or not.
Claiming that even electrons store information and that all objects exist because of these pieces of information, Vopson likens these pieces of information to bits in computer programs. The physicist, who believes that he can solve the secret of the universe by obtaining and combining these pieces of information in theory, states that he could not prove this theory due to insufficient technology, but he could prove it in the near future and future donations.
Let’s explain once again with examples.
Vopson’s theory is indeed quite complex and can become unintelligible after a point. If you want, let’s explain it through a simulation example. Let’s say we do indeed live in a simulation. Then, according to this logic, everything around us, including ourselves, is actually a pile of code just like in the movie The Matrix. According to Vopson’s theory, these pieces of code have a certain weight, and if we measure accurately enough, we can detect these codes. Claiming that we can access these codes when the right conditions are met, Vopson claims that we can manipulate the program as we want by learning the contents of these codes by “reverse engineering” just like in computer programs.
Afterwards, all we have to do is rewrite the simulation as we want. According to Vopson, who claims that humanity can change the world in a way similar to cheating in GTA, all of these things will come true very soon.
Of course, we have to state that Melvin Vopson’s theory has not been proven yet and that even the scientific world is a little skeptical of this theory. However, he is quite confident that his theory is correct and claims that with the necessary technology he can prove it. Do you think we are really living in a simulation?
