Are we living in the Matrix? What is reality? Many scientists, philosophers and mathematicians believe in the simulation theory, the idea that everything you see, hear, touch, smell and feel is all just a computer generated simulation of what you think is real life.  In this episode we explore the evidence and try to figure out if everything is real...isn't.  Hear the story of the tech company executive who died mysteriously and her disturbing final words. Hear the stories about glitches in the matrix, the Mandela Effect, and the mathematical evidence that points to us all being part of some massive computer generated illusion.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theconspiratorspodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0_SAREQYopjrr0CNIrrRrQ Sources:  https://www.simulation-argument.com/https://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...https://www.scientificamerican.com/ar... https://www.wired.com/story/living-in...https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/26/op...https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/n...https://www.discovery.com/science/Dou... https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Simul.... https://www.simulation-argument.com/s...https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/n...https://www.nspirement.com/2022/03/06...https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/...https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article...https://www.space.com/universe-simula... https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/20...https://bigthink.com/thinking/why-the... https://bigthink.com/13-8/simulation-... https://www.wired.com/2014/11/planck-length/ Music: Music: Long Note Three by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/3993-long-note-three Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Music: Long Note Two by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/3993-long-note-three Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Learn more about your ad choices.

One of the most controversial aspects of law enforcement occur when police investigators use psychics to provide information in solving crimes. Back in 1993, a Montana couple named John and Nancy Bosco were brutally murdered in their bed. Strangely enough, three people involved in the murder claim to have had psychic visions of the crime: the victim's mother, a famous psychic his mother hired, and the murderer himself.  Notes: https://www.ranker.com/list/john-nancy-bosco-true/jodi-smith https://billingsgazette.com/john-and-nancy-bosco/article_1c1fcd64-2dcf-5e33-8fdb-1dc0cf94ce72.html https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/John_and_Nancy_Bosco https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiD09fp5eiAAxWyMn0KHae3CGMQFnoECB8QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americamagazine.org%2Fissue%2Fculture%2Fultimate-test&usg=AOvVaw2itEN-ocW33ApPGOnEjEcI&opi=89978449 https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Mercy-Mother-Victims-Penalty/dp/157075358X https://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/12/10/court.psychics/index.html https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R000100280009-3.pdf https://mysteriesofcanada.com/manitoba/clairvoyance-on-the-canadian-frontier/ https://www.rd.com/list/mysteries-solved-by-psychics/ Music: Music: Cryptic Sorrow by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/3568-cryptic-sorrow Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Music: Lucid Nightmare by Tim Kulig Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8492-lucid-nightmare Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Learn more about your ad choices.
