The real mind bender is when I consider the possibility that Quantumly speaking I might be here and there all at the same time. And other places...  |
Interesting that you mention the simulation, I've been thinking about that for a few years now. There's this theory by Nick Bostrom that if simulations of that kind are possible, then it's overwhelmingly likely that we're in one. The thinking is that the simulees will recursively start simulations of their own, so eventually simulated worlds outnumber real ones. I'm not sure if the argument completely holds up in practice, but it's still interesting.
