Have you ever wondered whether all this–you, your life, the universe–is just a sophisticated computer simulation?
Martin Savage, a physicist at the University of Washington, thinks we can’t discount the idea. In fact, he and two colleagues (Silas Beane and Zohreh Davoudi) published a paper in November 2012 exploring the possibility. I spoke to him about why he thinks we may be the byproduct of some sophisticated computer code.
As we spoke, I noticed he used the word they a lot, when referencing the proposed simulators. I couldn’t help but ask, “who is they?” His answer will blow your mind.

A tiny fraction of carbon helps account for the oddly light density of Earth’s iron core, a new computer simulation finds.
Though the core is only 0.1 percent to 0.8 percent carbon, the iron ball is the largest reservoir of carbon on the planet, the study authors said.
An impenetrable 1,790 miles (2,890 kilometers) below the planet’s surface, the core is a compelling mystery. The density of pure iron is heavier than the core’s observed density, which is calculated from seismic and laboratory studies.
