There were two hypotheses in the network era of the future.
One is the game hypothesis—could there be a possibility that our world is just a virtual reality game, and we are all NPCs or freeloaders, part of the pay-to-win experience for other players.
The other is the Netherworld hypothesis—could there be a possibility that we are actually all dead and living in the Netherworld, while our ungrateful descendants upstairs have completely forgotten about us, not burning any paper money for us at all.
Of course, these are all jokes.
Science is not a standard, but a methodology for understanding the world, emphasizing that existence is reasonable.
If phenomena that current scientific theories cannot explain appear in the Real World, the ignorant will herald the resurgence of spiritual qi, while real scientists will seek patterns, propose various hypotheses, and test them.
