We've got very good evidence that everything you see and everything you experience is an illusion, a hologram.

Are we living in a simulation?

Well, this is what you might believe if you read an article in a popular magazine.

But how did this article get its information?

And what did the scientific papers that said these things actually say?

How do conspiracy theories arise from legitimate sources?

That is what we're going to discuss here with Lee Koonla, a political science professor at Humber Polytechnic.

It is Conspiracy Corner.

And do check out Lee's upcoming book.

It's called Uncover Up, How to Think Clearly in the Age of Conspiracy.

That's available for pre-order wherever books are sold.

Lee, that was all a mouthful, but welcome to the show.

Welcome to The Hologram.

That's at least according to one magazine.

I sometimes worry when I see these popular science headlines that if they were true would completely revolutionize the way we saw the world.

Yeah.

But then like no one else talks about it after that.

Yeah.

Except for people who are really into conspiracy theories.

So have you ever gone to like a museum or a science fair and seen like a hologram where you look at this flat surface and then all of a sudden it looks like it's in 3D?
