Summary
Video game pioneer and author Rizwan Virk explores how the simulation hypothesis might explain the Mandela Effect, the phenomenon in which many people share the same false memories. He suggests that if reality is a computer simulation, alternative timelines could intersect with one another, much as multiple storylines run in video games. Drawing on the science fiction of Philip K. Dick and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics, Virk makes the case for a 'simulated multiverse.'
