Life in the Matrix

Happy New Year! And we start 2025 by contemplating larger questions, such as, “What if none of this is real? What if we’re all just characters in a simulation?”

We talk to Melvin Vopson, Associate Professor in Physics at the University of Portsmouth. He was formerly a senior R&D scientist at Seagate Technology and spent over six years as a Higher Research Scientist at the UK National Physical Laboratory. He is also the author of Reality Reloaded: The Scientific Case for a Simulated Universe.

All that and the Parting Shot.
