This version 8 is an expanded version and anyone who bought the original version 6 (see your copyright page at the top) can be sent a new complimentary version 8 -- use the email on the copyright page to arrange this with the author. A new chapter 12 was added to clarify the issues with new info. Many Astronomers, Physicists and Philosophers are beginning to suspect that we live in a Simulation... an Extremely good one. Their thinking and reasons are given and the author has found many corroborating anomalies to support their theory that Earth may seriously be a Simulation. Among the anomalies are time-honored constants in Math and Physics that are changing -- and that can be if we are a Simulation Astronomers have also found several irregularities in the Universe that support the probability, including their discovery that there is noise coming from the edge of the universe Examples of simulations running poorly, how they might be corrected, and how to program one (at a high level) are offered. The issue of: Can Science replicate true consciousness in a Cognitive Computer aka Robot is seriously looked at and what it would take to make AI a reality appears to be hundreds of years away... if achievable at all. The latest android from Japan (Geminoid F) is shown and reviewed, as well as the latest D-Wave 3 -- a quantum computer. Whether we are in a Simulation or not, the book makes fascinating reading -- real brain candy -- and it offers a NEW insight into what the Universe probably is -- hint: polymorphism is not spoken of by the scientists. Written and illustrated at the layman level.
