There is a theory that suggests the universe is nothing but a simulation, that nothing is real. Are we all just living inside a cosmic dream? Futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku recently visited with Kennedy on FOX Business to discuss simulation theory and the essential role of consciousness in the quantum experience.

I believe that nature is scalable from the smallest. Greater mass attracts less mass ... from a little paper boat at the edge of a pool to a star towards Sagittarius A *. We may be like viruses in a bloodstream that they don't know exists outside the human body ... It's scalable. From there to intelligent beings creating it is another issue.
Buddhism solved the simulation thought experiment (it is not even a hypothesis) a long time ago. The buddhist concept of time is similar to that of interstellar time. The silver cord/reincarnation/moment of reflection is the core code transmitting to long term storage and then being repurposed or iterated for the next go-round. If I were really worried about this all being a simulation, I'd live according to Buddhist principles and call myself covered. This stuff doesn't even interest me anymore, it's the new manufactured existential crisis.
