Is reality a simulation? From history's deep thoughts to today's scientists are finding reality is… stranger than we imagined. The signs are everywhere, from the cosmic to the quantum, and our stories help us grapple with the question: What if it's all code? Sure, maybe nothing is is "real", but forget the fear.
