Is it possible that you, I, and everything we experience is a computer simulation? Why do people like Elon Must and Neil DeGrasse Tyson think this is possible? In this video I will explain how Nick Bostrom's argument for the simulation hypothesis goes, and what the problems with it are.

The reference I mention at around 6 minutes is eg
