This review paper conducts an in-depth evaluation of simulation theory through its philosophical foundation, along with scientific basis, cultural effects, and research possibilities in the upcoming years. This paper uses historical assessment of Plato's allegory and Descarte's skepticism to join modern scientific analysis about computational hypotheses and quantum physics for a comprehensive examination of simulated reality complexities and ongoing disputes. Throughout its synthesis, the paper analyzes media representations, technological effects, and ethical implications. The review explores how future research must include extended tracking and intervention studies to investigate the social-psychological-ethical effects of simulation theory adoption.
