The human universe: Could we become gods? - life - 05 May 2015 - New Scientist

 ما گونه یی کنجکاو بوده و این کنجکاوی ما را به ایده‌های جالبی‌ در مورد
جایگاهمان در جهان : خدا، تکامل، هوشیاری کوانتومی و چند جهانی‌
میرساند.این جهان واقعی‌ نیست و ما در درون یک شبیه سازی کامپیوتری که توسط

But perhaps the most curious of all is the idea that the universe isn't real, and we live in a computer simulation
created by a superior intelligence. In fact, according to Nick Bostrom,
the philosopher who developed the idea, this is the most likely
explanation for our existence.

Whatever the plausibility of this
claim, it begs a tantalising question: could we ever create such a
