![]() ![]() So it’s possible that if I did something locally, you know, let’s say I gave a thumbs up or I cut a lemon, and somehow that the information when it’s being sent to the server gets screwed up, which can happen in the cloud. So when you play 'Fornite' or 'World of Warcraft,' you’re rendering it on your local device, and then you’re syncing with the server every time something happens. "You are being rendered on my screen, and I am being rendered on your screen. "Simulation theory posits that the world is like a video game and that what we think of as physical reality is actually a rendering on something like a computer screen," he explained, likening the theory to the experience of doing a Zoom interview with TODAY. One of the easiest to comprehend was related to simulation theory, which just about anyone who uses Zoom or FaceTime might be able to understand. Virk offered a multitude of head-spinning theories and explanations, from being out of synchronization to the Mandela effect. "If it was a real glitch, then you know, it’s very possible that she cut the lemon, and it got rendered in two pieces for her from her perspective,” he explained, citing an aspect of quantum physics called the observer effect. Still, he said that there are a few explanations for what might have happened when it comes to simulation theory. Speaking to TODAY about Gonzalez’s experience, Virk noted that he is skeptical about whether Gonzalez experienced a glitch because of the video quality and the camera’s proximity to the lemon. He is also the author of the book " The Simulation Hypothesis." For the book, Virk collected data from concepts related to computer science, artificial intelligence and quantum physics to explore the idea of whether or not we might exist in a simulated reality like "The Matrix." ![]() Rizwan Virk is a futurist and MIT computer scientist currently doing research at Arizona State University’s Center for Science and the Imagination. this is just what I got from my own experience." In a pinned comment, Gonzalez wrote to viewers: "Just to be clear everyone has their own opinion and beliefs please be respectful to others. So far, Gonzalez’s video has amassed over 3.1 million views and thousands of comments from TikTok users who have analyzed and speculated causes for the occurrence. She said the time between when she cut the lemon and inspected security footage took minutes. After giving the lemon to her customer, Gonzalez told her aunt about what happened and followed her advice to check the surveillance footage. She insists that none of them (including herself) know how to use video-editing tools, and if they had, there wouldn’t have been enough time to edit the recording. None of the women, Gonzalez claimed, switched the lemon out. kahootdaddy777 / TiktokĪccording to Gonzalez, only three other workers were on-site at the time: her mother, her aunt and the restaurant’s chef. So I’m 99.9% sure I cut it all." Surveillance footage of Gonzalez putting the apparently repaired lemon in a plastic bag. "I can feel when the knife cuts down and it touches a table. "I do remember cutting it all the way," she told TODAY. Gonzalez’s confusion can be seen as she raises the lemon up to examine the still intact halved lemon. Upon returning to the halved lemon, she picks it up with the plastic bag only to hesitate. She then sets aside one of the lemon halves, cuts the one closest to her into quarters, then walks a few steps away (still in view of the security camera). Surveillance footage of the incident shows Gonzalez taking a lemon and slicing it in half. "Then when I go to put it in the bag … I always separate it in the bag … I couldn’t separate it.” Surveillance footage of Gonzalez slicing the lemon. ![]() I cut the other half, I go grab the bag," she recalled. Then a regular asked for a side of lemon with his order. As she recalls, it was sunny out, and that day she had hit her stride working the cash register and servicing customers. Speaking to TODAY Food in an interview, Gonzalez said the strange phenomenon all happened on a pretty regular day. "There was a glitch," Gonzalez balks at the start of the TikTok, in which she shows surveillance video of what happened. ![]()
