Metaverse
Metaverse conspiracies are ideas that suggest hidden, often scary, motives behind the creation and use of the metaverse. Here are a few examples in simple terms:
- Spying: Some people think the metaverse will be used by governments or companies to secretly watch everything you do and control your actions.
- Mind Control: There's a belief that virtual reality in the metaverse might be used to mess with your mind, making you think or do things without realizing it.
- Distraction: Another idea is that the metaverse is being pushed to keep people busy and distracted from real-world problems, so they don't pay attention to important issues.
- Trapping People: Some fear that people will get so caught up in the virtual world that they’ll spend too much money on digital stuff, getting stuck in a cycle where they’re more focused on the fake world than the real one.
- Merging with Machines: A conspiracy theory suggests that the metaverse is part of a plan to mix humans with technology, leading to a future where people might lose what makes them human.
These ideas are usually based on fear and misunderstanding of new technology and aren't supported by solid evidence.

Are “glitches in the matrix” real? This science-based debunk explains why missing objects, time skips, coincidences, and strange sensations are better explained by psychology — not a simulated universe.
A real ‘glitch in the matrix’ wouldn’t feel spooky — it would be reproducible, measurable, and boringly scientific. None have ever been found.

Let's explore the theory that our reality could be some kind of super advanced simulation, like virtual reality on steroids created by higher beings. But there's good reasons to doubt we're actually living in a simulation and first off, simulating a whole universe down to the tiny quantum level would need a mind-blowing amount of computing power that seems out of reach. And there's no solid proof either way that were in a simulation - the arguments are interesting to think about but mostly speculative philosophy without scientific evidence.
