The Vanishing Worlds of Audubon

Living in a Simulation

Time:  3pm

Scientists and philosophers have weighed in on the matter, with some arguing that it is statistically likely that we are living in a computer-generated reality. Areas of conversation may include: What are the arguments for and against the idea that our reality is a simulation? What are the implications of this idea and what could it mean for our understanding of the universe and our place within it? What are the ways in which this concept has been explored in popular culture, such as in the film "The Matrix"? 03:00 pm 04:00 pm America/Los_Angeles public
