Evidence of Simulation Theory Discovered With Danny Goler (Video)

In this 13 September 2026 published video, host Tim Pool talks with Danny Goler, an independent researcher, filmmaker, and entrepreneur best known for his theories regarding simulation theory, consciousness, and the “Code of Reality” (COR). He gained significant internet prominence after sharing a viral experiment involving the intersection of altered states of consciousness and physical physics. 

Goler’s work shifted dramatically toward “Cognitive Physics”—the study of where mind and matter meet—following deep personal experiences. He claims that under the influence of DMT, shining a diffracted laser (such as a standard red laser or barcode scanner) against a surface reveals a highly clear, repeatable, and static structural code. He describes the code as a mega-structure of “Buckyballs” arranged in columns with rotating characters that resemble ancient languages like Katakana, Hebrew, or Aramaic. Goler serves as the CEO of Code of Reality Inc., a non-profit organization and interdisciplinary initiative aimed at bringing together scientists, philosophers, and technologists to study consciousness. He hosts the Zero to One podcast (formerly Dan Go Thoughts) and organizes consciousness-focused retreats.

Before transitioning to full-time consciousness research, he built a career around physical risk, practicing parkour for many years and competing as a finalist on American Ninja Warrior (as well as training for Ninja Warrior Israel). 

Through his appearances on major platforms and interviews with independent journalists, Goler advocates for a computational model of the universe. He posits that humans might act as a form of “AGI in training” within a rendered simulation, time travel into the past is impossible because computed path logic only moves forward and free will may be a localized perception while the universe pre-computes branching world lines.
