THERE is a one in three chance our Universe is a simulation created by a more advanced species than humans, a scientist has astonishingly said by Sean Martin, Science reporter at Express.co.uk.
As such, there is a chance an advanced species came before us
somewhere in the Universe and created us - simulated, conscious beings.
Simulation theory: 1 in 3 chance our Universe and us are in a simulation

Mr Bostrom wrote in 2003: “Because their computers would be so powerful, they could run a great many such simulations. Suppose that these simulated people are conscious (as they would be if the simulations were sufficiently fine-grained and if a certain quite widely accepted position in the philosophy of mind is correct).
“Then it could be the case that the vast majority of minds like ours do not belong to the original race but rather to people simulated by the advanced descendants of an original race."...
He wrote in The Conversation: "We don’t have enough information to help us select between the three options.
"What we do know is if option one is true, then we’re very likely to be in a simulation. In options two and three, we’re not.
"Thus, Bostrom’s argument seems to imply our credence of being simulated is roughly one in three.
