You probably see the world around you in 3 dimensions - up/down, side/other side and back/front. Time is the 4th dimension as objects move in 3 dimensions.That all seems pretty solid and, well, real - right?Well not quite - it seems we can only perceive four when in fact there are believed to be 10.https://phys.org/news/2014-12-universe-dimensions.html Once you start to read into the string theory behind this you start to realise the universe is so much more complex then we understand and our reality is just a tiny piece of it.If that doesn't bake your noodle then I don't know what will.
All that stuff about parallel universes etc has some basis in fact after all.
The next thing you know there will be proof that time is non linear and our perception of it is all that is making it so.
What, you didn't know....?
It’s all a simulation. We are in the matrix. If we are in the matrix who makes the rules? Answer= the 1%

This is a truly intriguing line of reasoning - especially when you consider the ways you could detect if you were in a simulation or not and start to push those boundaries.
The film of the same name did a good job of explaining what it is all about, but how to evaluate if we are actually in it takes a different frame of mind, and many who go in search of this don't come back oddly enough.
Looking at those who have tried to reason a way to prove this have had interesting results but with the key issue ourstanding of - if we are in a simulation then won't it have safeguards against its own discovery.
