A reader writes in reference to TIME’s Big Cover Story on Immortality:
Maybe we are already a simulation and simulated scientists are busy building a simulated reality within a simulation. Maybe it’s not turtles, but simulations all the way down. Take that, Richard Dawkins.
That, of course, changes the ball game for the Turin shroud. It is a simulation. If it is a fake, I say to all ye believers, take comfort in knowing it is only a simulated fake. If it is real, ye rascals and skeptics, fret not for it is but simulated reality; you can live with that.
