"An interesting read for sure. Although some of the chapters touched on the science behind the theory, a lot of the theories posed were based more on logic rather than pure scientific evidence. This did cause some of the chapters to feel more like try"

"A great read! I thought i wouldn’t be able to understand a thing and was so wrong. It’s not just a “Are we leaving in the Matrix� type of read, it’s also informative and science based and connects the dots of the questions so many of us have in our m"

"This book was great. The book had a fantastic introduction with how the author loved playing video games at an early age and just started to think about how this could be what we already live in. This book has also opened me up to more complex scienc"

“Sliding Doors and Run Lola Run (1998)—These two movies, neither of which is technically science fiction, were released in the same year. We see the idea of timelines branching from a single point which lead to different outcomes. In the example of Sliding Doors, a separate timeline branches off of the first timeline and then exists in parallel for some time, overlapping the main timeline, before merging back in. In Run Lola Run, on the other hand, we see Lola trying to rescue her boyfriend Manni by rewinding what happened and making different choices multiple times. We see visually what running our Core Loop might look like in a real-world, high-stress situation.”

“Eyebrows were raised in 1994 when Peter Shor, working at Bell Labs, came up with a quantum algorithm that could break most modern encryption by using quantum computing algorithms. Today’s encryption is based on the difficulty of factoring large numbers. Even today, although there are no quantum computers that can implement Shor’s algorithm in full yet, there is worry that most of our encryption will be broken in a few years as more capable quantum computers come along. When this happens, there will be a rush to quantum-safe encryption algorithms (which cannot be broken quickly by either classic or quantum computers).”
