You're stuck in traffic. A billboard flashes something you just typed. Your playlist knows your mood. A stranger finishes your sentence. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe you're starting to see the seams.

In this episode of Quantum Logic, we explore the Simulation Hypothesis, from Bostrom’s Trilemma to AI-powered social worlds and cosmic glitches.

Could artificial intelligence be the first system capable of proving reality isn’t real?

Whether you believe we are living in a simulation or base reality, this episode will challenge how you see everything — from your phone notifications to the fabric of spacetime itself.

🎙 Featuring:

    • Nick Bostrom’s Trilemma
    • The AI-built town of “Smallville”
    • John Searle's Chinese Room
  • Cosmic radiation anomalies and Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem

Let’s question everything.
