Scientists Plan Test to See if The Universe is a Simulation (srs) (mind=blown)

inb4 zombie virus kills us in the simulation, but also spreads throughout the entire system and the world we live in, and the real world end.

Look at all of us talking/typing, having our OWN individual thoughts which we can change and differs from everyone else's.

There's no such thing as this bs programmer, we are our own selves.

I choose to fart now, or hold it for another two seconds, my choice.
Brb creating Internet, surfboards, brooms, shovels, etc. was all created by some kunt on some super computer.

Okay.jpeg

Phuck all you potatoes ITT.

Had Deja Vu prob about 20 times in my life, last one hit me at work couple weeks ago and it just stopped me in my tracks, stood there for about 20 seconds thinking about it, knowing without a doubt that this already happened

what if every single movement, thought, decision, and feeling was just programmed?

Thus the Determinism vs. Free Will.

Can someone give me an explanation on how these are related? I mean, what does someone think about as stated in the first quote: I choose to do something, vs: the third quote stating: what if everything is pre-determined?

What do you think?

[QuikAsNes]

what if we live in a game like the sims, and when the game is turned off we all go to sleep, and when we wake up at 2am every now and then and cant get back to sleep, the game has been turned back on because some alien kunt got bored.

interesting stuff like a black hole increases in area not in volume when it consumes stuff.

Yeah that could be good evidence for the holographic theory. Because if everything is holographic then 3D space is reducible to the 2D space enclosing it. If a black hole increases in area rather than volume then that means when it swallows up mass, the data comprising that mass basically becomes embedded into its event horizon. The spherical horizon has to become a little bit bigger to contain that mass-energy-information.


One of the coolest questions we have yet to answer is the Black Hole Information Paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_h...mation_paradox). Truly a mindfuk as of yet, because we don't know the full story. To basically sum it up, imagine you throw an entire library of the most complex text books ever into a black hole. All those different words suddenly become 3 things: a change in how fast the black hole is spinning (angular momentum), an increase in the mass of the black hole, and a change in its electrical charge. Billions of different numbers & words suddenly become 3 numbers. So it's like you take this whole library of books, and you do one single sign language hand movement which says everything contained in those books.

Black holes are like the ARC's of objective-c....any cs brahs feel me?

[Rashman]

i love people who think prefacing their criticisms with the word "pseudo" makes them heaps deep and intelligent. it doesnt.

Gets me right in the jimmies, every time.

[ShreddedRocks]

the radius of our universe is 48 billion lys? How did you get that measure?

It (our universe) is constantly expanding.
When the big bang first occurred, space itself was the first to expand, traveling exponentially faster than light and matter. Slowly after that rushed in everything else that has come to in our universe.

To answer your question i googled "what is radius of universe"

[Bar182]

Is it possible that our big bang is just the opposite side of another universe's black hole and that our universe expands as the black hole consumes mass in universe 2?

That would mean there would be multiple universes all interconnected by blackholes.

Not a paradoxfor me tbh.

The information in the library consists of bits of information aka the elementary particles, all the texts just get scrambled in the black hole and if you could unscramble them in the right way you would get the whole library.

and another take on it, all the information in the library is already accesible in nature so the information as in texts n stuff is (ofc it is created when the universe was but not by man just copied and understood.)never created just copied from nature, and then tossed into the black hole, net information lost 0

hawkings was wrong.

edit: been thinking bout this for some time now, and it all came togheter with this post sounds for me kinda rational n logic. brb applying for university physics.

That would mean there would be multiple universes all interconnected by blackholes.

Impossible. There is a set limit of mass in our universe, aka the same amount that was there prior and during/after the big bang. Conservation of Mass. Your idea would make it out so that there would be a constant stream of 'fresh' mass entering universe A from universe B.

Our universe is expanding proportionally, i.e. let's say we have a 3/4/5 right triangle, after say a million years it would be MUCH MUCH larger, however the proportions would stay the same.

However, once matter nears the gravitational pull and the event horizon of a black hole, the laws of time and physics begin to not apply anymore...
so..

[Morpheus99]

It's actually highly likely we are a computer simulation.



Error checking binary code found in our universe:



Personally I think the universe is a giant fractal. (Mandelbrot set)

also important to add is that the expansion as far as we understand is accelerating, so in the future we will not be able to see and visually access alot of information that we can now, we will be able to see the milky way, and not much else.

[Voylol]

Just remember that it's not considered science until it's testable and falsifiable, and that's what I think they're getting at. The idea has been pure philosophical speculation since Bostrom's paper.

I wish I was bright enough to even grasp some of the simple concepts in this thread but I'm failing badly

says who?

Always lol when humans underestimate due to the knowledge we have now and we are not even close to a superior knowledge.

[PotatosGonPotat]

yes the creator of this matrix world is called god and we are his game.
LoL at people literally thinking in terms of matrix though. Stop watching so many movies when you're stoned!

[syddak1llakyd]

this **** is fake like god. you wana see a different world go to a planet outside our solar system that has life, dumbasses

[Flareon]

4th dimension crew checking in, haven't been to the 3rd dimension in a while, chit looks so 3D here, you guise shud come 4th dimension.

[lolhey]

wouldn't matter if it was true or not if you think about it

[s2pid]

well everything works on a system. atom interactions are always the same so they could have complicated parameters in binary or whatever code.

[MrDeafMuscle]

So we are like the SIMS but someones playing as us? WTF

[eLjay28]

And if people understand the concept the dude states it is basically we find codes in ways we want to describe the cosmos. Very very longggg away from stating they believing humans are a code in a future program.

Cant imagine how much people gave up life BC of this thread

[Ashen]

What do you think?

There are varying degrees of determinism. It doesn't necessarily mean everything is predetermined, but that free will is an illusion and the choices you make are the result of cause and effect, the interactions of your genes with your environment. What makes humans unique is our ability to consciously witness the processes within the brain.
However the implications of hard determinism make for a deep moral discussion. If we don't consciously make our own decisions, how do we punish wrongdoers?

[IsThisRealLife]

If I am actually a computer program simulating life, whoever programmed me had a weird sense of humor. Wonder how he explained my porn choices to his co-programmers.

[Shreddet]

well the deepest part of the deep web is known for being a sentient being (aware of itself)

[EN0]

Love it

We're already making universes in video games, and where the tech is headed they will get more and more intricate and immersing. Theoretically, we WILL eventually create an intricate cyber universe similar to our own so maybe this is a cycle that has happened long ago already.

This boggles the mind for sure. But from my view, I would be happy with just being a simulation of the real me that existed years ago. I mean it's better than miscing, and I am on a computer with fresh water right next to me. Def could have been dealt a worse character in the simulation
