Happy New Year! And we start 2025 by contemplating larger questions, such as, "What if none of this is real? What if we're all just characters in a simulation?"

We talk to Melvin Vopson, Associate Professor in Physics at the University of Portsmouth. He was formerly a senior R&D scientist at Seagate Technology and spent over six years as a Higher Research Scientist at the UK National Physical Laboratory. He is also the author of Reality Reloaded: The Scientific Case for a Simulated Universe.

All that and the Parting Shot.
