The fact is that the theory that we are living in a simulation is not the worst of theories in the world. There is a 50% possibility that we would be computer programs or connected to computers. And the last version of this silly-looking theory is that we are living in a so-called ultra-realistic alien test range where aliens are testing the advantage of artificial races and their ability to survive in the conditions, what they cannot predict. The fact is that we must look at and estimate this theory as every other theory in the world. 

The last version of this theory has been taken from the military combat simulation areas, where troops are practicing a different type of combat situations. Those things are all simulations, and we must understand, that in this simulation "game over" means that we are out.

--------------------------------

If we are thinking about the "simulated reality theory", is that mean that we are living in virtual reality or physical simulation, what is like some combat exercise?

There are two types of simulations, and the fact is that if we are saying, that we are living in a simulation, we must ask which one is the simulation where we are living? Are we living in virtual reality, or are we living in some kind of social simulation, what has created some alien race? And in this case, the "alien race" means some unknown power that makes those simulations. 

1) Computer-based simulations, where is used virtual reality. So, in this case, we should describe: are we some kind of computer programs or are our brains connected to some computer for some purpose?

2) Physical simulations like test ranges, city combat simulations, where troops are testing tactics and strategies in some city areas. So is Earth the massive test area for something?

Or social behavior simulations, where people are closed in some closed space, what purpose is to simulate the advantage of social behavior in the long term space flight. So is this the simulation, where the ability of the primitive race to advance to civilization is tested? 

----------------------------------------

So if we are living in a simulation we must ask does it change something in our life? If we are saying that we are living in some kind of simulation we must describe what the simulation means?

Does it mean that we are living in virtual reality, or does it mean that we are living in the "alien test range", where they are making some social and other experiments by using us as the tool?
