Top physicist publishes 'evidence' that we're living in a computer simulation...

[TheParish]

In a paper published earlier this month, physicist Melvin Vopson, of the University of Portsmouth, offered scientific evidence for a philosophical theory known as the simulation hypothesis. This, in a nutshell, posits that the entire universe and our objective reality are just super-advanced virtual reality illusions.

Elon Musk is among the well-known fans of the theory, which – as Dr Vopson notes in his paper – has been “gaining traction in scientific circles as well as in the entertainment industry”. The university lecturer also pointed out that recent developments in a branch of science known as information physics “appear to support this possibility”. Information physics suggests that physical reality is made up of bits of information. However, Dr Vopson has gone further and is working to prove that information has a physical mass and is a fundamental building block of the universe. He even claims that information could be the mysterious dark matter that makes up almost a third of the universe.

Then, in 2022, he discovered a new law of physics, christened the second law of infodynamics, which states that entropy – the degree of randomness or disorder – within an isolated information system either remains constant or decreases over time. “My findings demonstrate that high symmetry corresponds to the lowest information entropy state, potentially explaining nature's inclination towards it." Again, put simply, nature prefers things to be as well-ordered as possible. He continued: “This approach, where excess information is removed, resembles the process of a computer deleting or compressing waste code to save storage space and optimise power consumption.” As a result, this “supports the idea that we’re living in a simulation.”

“There is a growing community out there looking seriously at the possibility that information is more fundamental to everything than we think,” he said in a statement released back in December.

“If information is a key component of everything in the universe, it would make sense that a vast computer somewhere is in control."

“Assuming the universe is indeed a simulation, then it must contain a lot of information bits hidden everywhere around us. I’ve devised an experiment that proposes a way of extracting this information to prove it’s there.”

Cliffs - There is way too much symmetry in the universe, even down to the smallest particles, so it must be a simulation. (?)

He should probably just kill himself so he can exit the simulation.


Right?

Right?

Yes, maybe if when we die, we leave the simulation and wake up on the real world like in "From"

[N0rds]

Very possible.


Think of it this way:

Do you think, with how fast computers and graphics are increasing in reality, that in 100 years we may have Virtual Reality so real, you cannot distinguish it from real life?

Think we may have neural link into the brain directly?


If this is possible in the next few decades, who is to say we aren't in one right now?

[Channel83]

Doesnt really add much to the debate in practical terms.

A Creator exists or not. We live after death or we don't.

Very possible.

Yeah, exactly. The way things are going, we can either be already in a simulation, or we are the real deal, but we are going to create our own simulated universe in the near future that resembles exactly this one, but then that would mean we are the original "reality" which is highly unlikely, because then we still have the mystery of who the fuk created us (inb4 bigbangcels).


Its crazy that even the most fuked up crazy ass theories cant explain the origins of everything.




Personally i believe this is the key to immortality, or at lest to prolong consciousness as much as possible. We put ourselves inside a simulated world, we live a whole life inside of it, then when we die we get to do it again. Its like a game, a highly advanced SIMS game.

I also believe theres another conscious being that is linked to ourselves outside of the simulation, or we may be ourselves too, who knows, but im pretty sure ive gotten some outside help in certain situations of my life (srs).

I also have another possible theory, we may be the only real conscious beings, or in this case, id be the only real conscious being in this uiverse surrounded by highly advanced NPCs. Or maybe some are real conscious beings and others are highly advanced NPCs and we share the same universe, like an online game.

If you do DMT you see some things behind the simulation

[Rul3]

this isn't anything new, they've theorized that there are at least two levels of existence that are directly related and correspond with each other, the physical and the holographic

[OGfrom06]

Is the simulation biased for Jewish dominance?

Or did the Jews figure out how to dominate the simulation?

They are like Ganondorf dude, they just need to be defeated

EOD already proved this years ago.

I personally am planning to buy a pair of Nike shoes, cover myself with a blanket on a bed after having drunk barbiturates mixed with apple juice and vodka, and attempt to catch a saucer flying behind a comet.
