Dark Jedi said:Ok, let me ask you again, Where in this thread have I said that we actualy

Dark Jedi said:No, a theory can also be an opinion or a speculation.
The Question said:So what are the facts or phenomena explained by the idea that we all exist in a computer-generated simulacrum? And if this "theory" can be neither verified nor falsified through testing and observation, of what relevance or value is it?
The word theory has a number of distinct meanings in different fields of knowledge, depending on their methodologies and the context of discussion.
In common usage, people often use the word theory to signify a conjecture, an opinion, or a speculation. In this usage, a theory is not necessarily based on facts; in other words, it is not required to be consistent with true descriptions of reality.
