Phys.Org Mobile: Is it real? Physicists propose method to determine if the universe is a simulation

Suppose it's true? How would that change your outlook on life?

I don't think it's a Matrix style "simulation," but yes, I definitely believe that there isn't a physical universe that exists independently from our interpretations of it, if that makes sense.

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter.

Just read Bishop Berkeley's dialogues.

I bet there is a little room somewhere on earth (Probably somewhere in Eastern Asia) where a couple people are simulating the simulators.
