ARE WE LIVING IN A DREAMWORLD?!

Do you ever feel that we are living in a Dreamworld? Could the dreams we see when we sleep  be really happening in another world? For more clarifications, let's look back 10-20 years. How much useful were the mobile phones we used?   What about the new gadgets? What about the games? Nowadays, If we have the ability and the facilities, we can make anything. That is the potential we have now. That iss because of the technology which has grown so much. So we are getting closer to virtual reality. All this leads us to fundamental doubts. What if the characters in our video games  think that they are living in a real world and doing everything on their own? All of this creates  a huge doubt that whether people  actually live without knowing we are using them for our entertainments.

There is a quote by Robert Ford "Everything in the world is magic, except to the magician".

Many evidence put forward the theory of simulation. The idea that everything  we know and experience including reality itself is a simulation created by some unseen and unknowable entity. This is known as  simulation hypothesis. It is first proposed by Swedish professor Nick Bostrom in 2003.The theory continues to be one of the compelling philosophical thinking that questions the ultimate nature of the reality we experience.There is another theory developed years ago, which says this is how  religions came to be. 

The big question now is, what if the world we live in or our reality is a simulation? More people  like Elon Musk (businessman) and Neil Degrasse Tyson (scientist)  favor this theory. May be there are superior intelligences more advanced than ours. And they are the makers of our world. If this is true, who will be in the other end of this chain?
