You know, I want this to be true, in the same sense that Harry Potter is appealing because I wanted someone to come and tell 12-year-old me that I was actually a wizard.
I think a.key concept for the simulation theory is that OUR simukariin could ha e just started a second ago, with preloaded histories and motivations. More like Dark City, where the humans get rewired each night to act out different programs to try to generate the desired outcome.no major patches been pushed out that wreck the whole thing
Yep. And oddly enough, it was No Man's Sky that kicked it off for me.
The prerequisites might be enough.
I don't judge anything so I don't know what our universe is these are just things that make me question reality. But a simulation would give an easy explanation for my questions that's all.
The prerequisites might be enough.
Then again
what is learned may be reduced to fit their beliefs.
Disprove Jesus to Christians?
As you've already received refutations and dismissed them getting you to accept reality would be the hard part.
Yeah you're wasting your time there, mate.
What refutations? Comparing something to religion isn't a refutation. People can have bad reasons for believing true things.
You don't even know what you wrote a few minutes ago.
Perfect example of classic anthropomorphism.
well said. you basically summed up what i was trying to say with a lot less words lol
You started from a place of dishonesty with the expectation of honesty in return.
I should've listened to you.
just wait until the universe upgrades to DDR6 and PCIE 6.0!
Also eyes can only see 60 fps
or absolutely in love with their own stink. (many fall into the latter category)
If unquestioned, far, it does so by re-imaging God and limiting the conditions of the universe to suit the fantasy.
Yeah the thing is you dont even have to simulate every particle in the universe, just whatever is in front of us at that moment. For all we know all the stars and galaxies dont exist if we arent looking at them.Yep. And oddly enough, it was No Man's Sky that kicked it off for me.
The idea that a world would be generated on demand, at the time you need to see it, echoed of the very double-slit experiment you're talking about, which I'd learned of years before.
So that led me to reading and watching videos about the nature of reality, which inevitably led to Simulation Theory.
I mean, the logic is sound. Given where we are with computers today, from where we started, and what we use them for (like The Sims, or me pitting a world of AI against each other in Civilization VI), if you consider the exponential growth of our computing power, and then consider the vastness in both size and history of the universe, given enough time, why couldn't computational power somewhere, somehow, reach a point where every particle could be quantified, and thus a universe of them simulated?
Then you have Matrix-level questions of malleability of the simulation from within, the possibility of all of your personal history up until this very moment just being a program (so it didn't really happen, you're just programmed to think it did since the simulation actually just began 1 second ago), the question of existence once the simulation is terminated, or the idea of simulations within simulations within simulations...
It's a lot of fun to think about. To me, anyway.
Welcome.
Good point.
Yes. Just about every day. The thing is that no one can really assert an answer for or against whether this reality is a form of simulation or not, and don't let the simple minds try and compel you to a basic no answer "because of science." Science is just doing what it has always done, and it will continue to be updated to adapt to our observations as we are able to explain them in formula. Science doesn't know what your concept of a simulation is and doesn't care. What even is a simulation and how is it distinguishable from a reality?
That just taking the advice to not let people tell them they're wrong to heart.
I don't see anyone here claiming it as truth. I see people exploring an idea, discussing in good faith, and you shitting on them from (where you think is) on high.
Then why are you in this thread? You’ve made it clear what you think, and are adding nothing to the discussion.
Dove tailing off that point….
To prevent the reintroduction of epicycles.
It's being compared to what it is, you just don't like that and are in denial and want to shut it down.
Pretty deep bro; free thinker.
Yeah quantum physics by itself is not proof of a simulation or anything. It's just how it works reminds me so much of how you would build a video game/simulated world.
