Ever Worried Whether We're Really Just Living in the Matrix? Scientists Have a Test to Find Out

 

Have you ever freaked out and wondered whether "The Matrix" is true, and we're all just living in a computer simulation?  Or that all of this is just some future civilization's reality show?

 

 --Well, good news.  We're about to have a scientific answer to your existential crisis.

  

--Quantum physicists at the University of Washington say they've figured out a test that will determine whether or not we're living in the Matrix.  It gets incredibly scientific when they explain it, but we think we've got the basic gist.

 

--They're going to run their own simulation of a "universe" on a much smaller scale, to see if it's scientifically possible for fake atomic particles to come together and create unique physical beings that weren't specifically programmed into a computer.

  

--If they find that it's possible, then there IS a chance we're all living inside of some future civilization's computer.  If it's not possible, we're outside the matrix.
