Take the red pill: Tech billionaires who think we’re living in the Matrix are secretly funding a way out

Technology moguls convinced that we are all living in a Matrix-like simulation are secretly bankrolling efforts to help us break free of it, according to a new report. It’s alleged that two Silicon Valley billionaires are funding work by scientists on proving the simulation hypothesis, a theory backed by Space X CEO Elon Musk.

The simulation hypothesis is based on the idea that humans are not living in reality at all, and are instead a product of a simulation being run by an extremely advanced post-human civilisation. Much like in the Matrix, this simulation is so sophisticated that humans aren’t even aware they are living in it.

13 Of History’s Oldest Objects

It’s strange to think about but there’s a chance that the everyday objects you use right now will provide a lot of excitement for future archaeologists. When we have a look at ancient societies, we often base what we know about their everyday lives on what we can recover from their time.

While this can often take the form of texts or pieces of art telling us how our ancestors kept themselves busy and the tools they used to do it, we really strike gold when we find the tools themselves.

With such discoveries, we can get a feel for the technology ancient people enjoyed, especially when it turns out that products we thought we were so brilliant for creating have been around for centuries.

In fact, everything on this list is at least 1,000 years old and some of them date back to times we have a hard time even imagining. So let’s have a look at these 13 items with age-old stories to tell.

Magnificent 3D Reconstruction of Pompeii Home Sheds Light on Life in the Ancient City Before its Destruction

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near modern-day Naples in Italy, which was wiped out and buried under 6 meters of ash and pumice following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.  It is an eerie feeling to walk the empty streets of Pompeii and to view shops and homes left virtually untouched for nearly two millennia. One home still contains a complete loaf of bread sitting in the oven, perfectly preserved by a coating of ash. Now everyone has the opportunity to walk the streets and peer inside homes thanks to a detailed 3D digital reconstruction of an entire Pompeian city-block.

Meet Granddad: Weird, Ancient Reptile Gave Rise to Mammals

Two weird, mammal-like reptiles that sort of looked like scaly rats, each smaller than a loaf of bread, roamed ancient Brazil about 235 million years ago, likely dining on insects the predators snagged with their pointy teeth, a new study finds.

The analysis of two newfound species of cynodont, a group that gave rise to all living mammals, sheds light on how mammals developed from these late Triassic creatures, the researchers said.

“These new fossils help [us] understand in more detail the evolution of pre-mammalian forms that gave rise to the group of mammals, in which we humans (Homo sapiens) are included,” the study’s lead author, Agustín Martinelli, a paleontologist at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, told Live Science in an email.
