It is not often that a comedian gives an astrophysicist goose bumps when discussing the laws of physics. But comic Chuck Nice managed to do just that in a recent episode of the podcast StarTalk.The show’s host Neil deGrasse Tyson had just explained the simulation argument—the idea that we could be virtual beings living in a computer simulation. 

Quite something to consider and some scientists think there is a 50% chance this is true!

Elon Musk thinks the odds are even higher.

Scientific American has recently publish an article about this topic . Very interesting and thought provoking.
