Talking about probability: A prominent physicist reckons that we all are ALMOST CERTAINLY in a very detailed computer simulation i.e. nothing is 'real' (philosophical pedants can make their excuses now). He thinks that given the growth in computing power is exponential, soon it will be possible to simulate 'reality to any degree of complexity. There will be millions of such simulations running, so it is very likely that you are in a simulation of the computer-makers past, rather than the single instance of reality you think you are in.
But of course, its just dualism again, ghost in the machine, etc. Nothing new under the sun is there?
