The Prometheus Project & Chalmers

This week we learn that the world around us might not be what it seems, as Tom explains to Tim what the Simulation Hypothesis is all about. Is life as we know it a computer simulation? It's possible. Does Tim have issues with low blood sugar? It would explain all the giggling in this episode. We also solve a problem from a listener who has an awkward situation at work with her boyfriend.
