This scientist says, 'Nothing you see is real.' He explains that everything we experience—space, time, the sun, the moon, and physical objects—are just part of a mental 'visualization tool' we use to interact with the world."
Donald Hoffman, a cognitive scientist and professor at the University of California proposes that in reality, the true nature of the universe is very different from what we perceive.
Dr. Hoffman proposes that rather than being created by the brain, a universal consciousness creates brain activity and is responsible for all matter in the physical world.
He says that our brains are like this virtual reality system, rendering objects like neurons only when needed. We are not truly aware of the deeper reality outside of space and time, just like a video game player doesn't know how the game engine works under the surface. Our experiences, thoughts, and feelings are part of this "simulation."

Hoffman suggests that consciousness is exploring endless possibilities, but we're limited by our human perceptions, like only being able to imagine a few dimensions or colors. He believes that by trying to understand this "visualization tool" more deeply, we can expand our minds and get closer to understanding the true nature of consciousness and reality, which is far beyond what we can currently imagine.
