The scent of coffee. The clarity of sunlight dappling through the trees. The howl of the wind in the dark of night.

All this, according to a philosophical argument published in 2003, could be no more real than pixels on a screen. It's called the simulation hypothesis, and it proposes that if humanity lives to see a day it can repeatedly simulate the Universe using come kind of computer, chances are we are living in one of those many simulations.

If so, everything we experience is a model of something else, removed from some kind of reality.

The Intelligent Design folks must be :gladbron: right now.

They lyin'

Are they?


In previous research, the physicist proposed that all elementary particles (the smallest known building blocks in the universe), store information about themselves, much like DNA in humans.

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.

In other words, the system becomes less and less chaotic, implying that there is some kind of mechanism governing it rather than random chance.

“I knew then that this revelation had far-reaching implications across various scientific disciplines,” Dr Vopson said in a statement released by the University of Portsmouth.

“What I wanted to do next is put the law to the test and see if it could further support the simulation hypothesis by moving it on from the philosophical realm to mainstream science.”

I don't see anything stating atheists saying what you claim in that article anywhere :manny:

An atheist claiming god exists wouldn't be an atheist, so your thread title is misleading as well as inaccurate

They are not an atheist and not exactly a believer either. But something else entirely. We need a new word for it

There's no "we" and there's already a word, that's called being agnostic :mjtf: :mjlol:

We as in “people who speak english” goofy nikka. You can remove yourself from society, for all I care

And no it’s not being agnostic. And that doesn’t describe their beliefs. They believe in something but it is not the traditional idea of God, but more like an all powerful computer programmer

What's the difference? If the result is the same.

Learn to speak it better :manny:

And if you're not a believer and not an atheist, that's an agnostic

If you're referring to people just believing in a deity that created this universe and that's about it, you're thinking of Deism

For everyone else, scientists tend to have the stereotype of being atheist. So it was a tongue-in-cheek title. Though I didn't know so many people would have their panties in a bunch over that. This ain't HL.
