E51 - Klee Irwin: Exploring The Self-Simulation Hypothesis & Nature Of Reality
20 Jun 2023
What is reality? Are we in a simulation? Quantum Gravity Research Founder Klee Irwin joins the Know Thyself podcast today to explore these fundamental questions of existence. He dives deep into The Self-Simulation Hypothesis & Emergence Theory - which he has been studying extensively to solve these very questions. Klee provides insights into the fundamentals of these theories, posing the question of if this IS a simulation, is it: a simulation controlled by a being in another galaxy OR a projection from our future selves. Begging the question of who our future descendants are, if they are still human, and can we communicate with them. This is a fascinating episode to open your mind to possible answers to perplexing questions of reality, and understand the extensive research Klee & his team are doing to bring these topics into mainstream scientific discussion.
