There is currently no empirical evidence confirming that we live in a simulation.

30% confidence

Despite the compelling philosophical arguments, no direct experimental or observational proof exists to confirm the simulation hypothesis. Researchers have proposed looking for anomalies such as discrete spacetime or computational limits manifesting in physical laws, but so far, telescopes and particle experiments have not detected any definitive signs. The lack of evidence means the hypothesis remains speculative, though it continues to inspire scientific inquiry and debate.
