What’s Trending: Dave’s In A Simulation, Man

About this episode

The episode discusses a scientific breakthrough in simulating a single-celled organism and its implications on the concept of reality.

Trending today: scientists successfully simulate a single-celled organism – using tons of computer power to do it. Victor takes this as proof that the universe can’t possibly be a Matrix-style simulation, because the computer power required would be too great. (Also, Aaron loves Victor’s inadvertent Tommy Chong impression.) Want to know what folks are talking about on social media?
