Zen Entrepreneurship

The book is a follow up to the bestselling book, "The Simulation Hypothesis", by the same author, about the idea that we live inside a video game world (like the Matrix). This book is about the idea that we live inside one of multiple simulations - borrowing ideas from science fiction, quantum mechanics, computer science, video games and religion to explain the multiverse. It is about timelines and how the universe may be spawning off multiple timelines; it is about time and space; it is about how we build video games, cellular automata and quantum computing.--Publisher.

Treasure Hunt

“Há uma chance em um bilhão de não estarmos vivendo em uma simulação.” E se estivermos vivendo dentro do computador de uma civilização muito mais inteligente do que a nossa? E se tudo o que vivemos e sentimos está sendo processado por um computador tão evoluído que para nós, humanos, seria impossível separar aquilo que é real e virtual? E se nós mesmos formos virtuais? O que seria, então, a realidade? O designer de videogames Rizwan Virk mostra como a história e a evolução de nossos videogames, incluindo realidade virtual, realidade aumentada, inteligência artifi cial e computação quântica, podem nos levar ao ponto de sermos capazes de desenvolver mundos virtuais abrangentes, assim como nos fi lmes da franquia Matrix. A obra A hipótese da simulação é a ideia de que nossa realidade física, longe de ser um universo físico sólido, faz parte de uma simulação cada vez mais sofi sticada semelhante a um videogame, onde todos temos múltiplas vidas, somos constituídos de pixels e possuímos um relógio interno próprio executado por alguma inteligência artifi cial gigante. A hipótese da simulação explica alguns dos maiores mistérios da física quântica, da ciência e da religião, como a indeterminação quântica, universos paralelos, a natureza integral da velocidade da luz e até mesmo a natureza de Deus. Embora a ideia toda pareça fi cção científi ca, muitos cientistas, engenheiros e professores consideraram seriamente a hipótese da simulação. E ela não é apenas uma teoria moderna. Filósofos e místicos de todas as tradições há muito afi rmam que vivemos em algum tipo de “ilusão” e que existem outras realidades que podemos acessar a partir de nossas mentes. Quer você seja um cientista da computação, um fã de fi cção científi ca como a retratada em Matrix, um entusiasta de videogames ou um buscador espiritual, A hipótese da simulação aborda todas essas áreas e você nunca mais verá o mundo da mesma maneira!

Do multiple versions of ourselves exist in parallel universes living out their lives in different timelines? In this follow up to his bestseller, The Simulation Hypothesis, MIT Computer Scientist and Silicon Valley Game Pioneer Rizwan Virk explores these topics from a new lens: that of simulation theory. If we are living in a digital universe, then many of the complexities and baffling characteristics of our reality start to make more sense. Quantum computing lets us simulate complex phenomena in parallel, allowing the simulation to explore many realities at once to find the most "optimum" path forward. Could this explain not only the enigmatic Mandela Effect but provide us with a new understanding of time and space? Bringing his unique trademark style of combining video games, computer science, quantum physics and computing with lots of philosophy and science fiction, Virk gives us a new way to think about not just our universe, but all possible realities!
