Do multiple versions of ourselves exist in parallel universes living out their lives in different timelines? In this follow up to his bestseller, The Simulation Hypothesis, MIT Computer Scientist and Silicon Valley Game Pioneer Rizwan Virk explores these topics from a new lens: that of simulation theory. If we are living in a simulated universe, composed of information that is rendered around us, then many of the complexities and baffling characteristics of our reality start to make more sense. In particular the two most popular interpretations of quantum mechanics, the Copenhagen Interpretation and the Many Worlds interpretation, which are thought to be mutually exclusive, can be unified in an information based framework. Quantum computing lets us simulate complex phenomena in parallel, allowing the simulation to explore many realities at once to find the most optimum path forward. Could this explain not only the enigmatic Mandela Effect but provide us with a new understanding of time and space? Bringing his unique trademark style of combining video games, computer science, quantum physics and computing with lots of philosophy and science fiction, Virk gives us a new way to think about not just our universe, but all possible timelines in the multiverse!
An MIT computer scientist and Silicon Valley video game designer Brings Together threads from computer science, AI, quantum physics, Eastern mystics and Western religions to show that we are inside as simulation like the Matrix.
Žijeme v počítačové simulaci? Kniha Rizwana Virka se zaměřuje na simulované variace našeho světa a nekonečné možnosti představivosti. Existují v paralelních vesmírech další verze nás samých? Žijeme v různých časových liniích? Setkáváte se s nepravděpodobnými osobami a situacemi? Pamatujete si určité události jinak než ostatní? Možná žijeme v matrixu. Kniha nabízí hluboký pohled na kvantovou neurčitost, Mandelův efekt, časové linie a počítačové simulace, přičemž odpovídá na otázky o našem světě a životě v něm. Virk zábavně vysvětluje, jak se zdánlivě nudné školní předměty, jako Newtonovy zákony nebo kvantová mechanika, propojují s videohrami a každodenním životem. Bez Einsteina by videohry nikdy nevznikly. Autorův jedinečný styl kombinuje videohry, informatiku, kvantovou fyziku a filozofii, což čtenářům poskytuje nový pohled na náš vesmír a alternativní reality.
