A group of distinguished scientists –including Neil deGrasse Tyson; Lisa Randall, theoretical physics at Harvard University; Max Tegmark, a cosmologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); David Chalmers, a professor of philosophy at the University of New York; Zohreh Davoudi, a theoretical physicist at MIT and James Gates, a theoretical physicist at the University of Maryland –gathered at the Museum of Natural History in New York, discussing the possibility that the universe is, in fact, a sophisticated simulation. It seems that researchers are becoming extremely open-minded in recent years. The possibility that the universe could be a simulation is not new, and numerous researchers have discussed this
