The bizarre concept of living in a simulation is fascinating and thought-provoking and challenges the very fabric of our existence. Even Tesla chief Elon Musk had previously echoed this idea, declaring that there was only a one-in-a-billion chance that we lived in ‘base reality’. But, is it really true?

AIM got in touch with Nick Bostrom, the man behind the most influential paper – Are You Living in a Simulation (2003) — where he proposed three possible scenarios: Either all human-like civilizations will go extinct before they can create simulated realities, or the civilizations that can create them won't bother, or there are more simulated worlds than non-simulated ones because advanced civilizations can create many simulations.
