How do we know we're not living in a simulation?

Coli nikkas man

Claim a big conspiracy and fold when questioned

Same people who believed in the illumanti now believe we are in a simulation.

Anything to discredit personal responsibility about your lives

The simulation thing is a fun science thing being passed around. Illuminati a bad comparison

You been watching Black Mirror huh

nikkas here believe in a fukking sky wizard. I don't propose to know who coded it. could be Cthulu. could be anyone.

but he didn't.

Who is windows to question it's info page

Things are way too seamless. The power needed to produce such a simulation would not be without it's obvious faults at some point.

Someone coming out of a coma speaking a different language is not dramatic enough.

I think you need to study quantum mechanics. Or at the very least watch some documentaries on the concepts. Its the best proof IMO that we live in a simulation.

Basically quantum mechanics describes our reality the way we would describe the environment of a character in a video game. The double slit experiment and all its progency prove beyond a doubt that reality only comes into existence when a conscious mind observes it. Just like a video game only renders the objects in a room once the character in the video game enters that room. Because in the video game world, it would be a waste of power for the game to render objects in a room that the character has not gone into yet. Similarly, quantum mechanics says the same is true for our world. Objects don't exist until a conscious being looks at it. And yes I mean that LITERALLY. Scientists have tried so many clever experiment to try and prove this theory that its conscious awareness that renders our reality. But no matter how clever of an experiment they come up with, the same results holds. That our reality only comes into existence when we (the conscious observer) looks at it.

I would suggest you look up something called the "Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser Experiment". Its super complicated and you might need to search the internet for a while to find someone who will explain it well. But once fully understood, that experiment proves beyond a doubt that we live in a computer simulated reality.

Here is a thread where I discuss this topic: The experiment that PROVED we live in the MATRIX...

You're saying we may be living in a simulation.

I'm saying, if that is true, who coded the program that we exist in?

Windows is not sapient.

Oxford Philosopher Nick Bostrom (who first proposed the modern Simulation Hypothesis in 2003) says that if we live in a simulation then most likely the creators of the simulation are our descendants (future humans). And that what we live in is an ANCESTOR SIMULATION. His argument is that at some point in the future when our descendants have advanced computer technology they would become curious as to how human beings in the past behaved and how their species evolved. So to study their ancestors they would create these life-like simulations of the past.

So we could just be the science experiment of some humans in the future.

Here is Nick Bostrom talking about his version of the Simulation Theory:

Real talk if this is a simulation then why do we need rest and sleep wouldn’t we just be able to stay on for years without having to reboot

Because you are not...1st this isn't even a scientific question...

But let's think about it...

The amount of computer processing power to run a simulation of this magnitude is near infinite

Basically would need a super computer that is beyond human conception...

And then if you can be self aware and question if you are in a simulation...then you aren't in a simulation...

Actually no. Some futurists like Ray Kurzweil have predicted that we will have computers capable of running billions of human minds by the 2040s. The mistake most people make is they think linearly. They think that the next 20 years of computer technology will evolve like the last 20. When in reality the next 20 years will be the equivalent of 1,000 years of progress compared to the last 20. How come? Because information technology (as Ray Kurzweil calls it) advances exponentially.

Also you are wrong about the amount of computer processing power needed to run our reality. If the universe was as we assume. That objects out there actually exists and they exist at all time whether we are looking at them or not, then you would be right. We would need a computer the size of the universe to run a simulation of the universe if its an objective reality as people assume. HOWEVER, luckily that is not how our reality operates. Instead much like a video game our reality actually only comes into existence when a conscious observer look at it. So in the same way our reality operates, we will be able to make computer simulations in the future of our entire universe all the way down to the quantum scale. But instead of the computer rendering all that detail at all times, it will only render objects when a conscious observer looks at it. With that simple move you can save an infinite amount of power and create a simulation that is realistic to the simulated beings.

Quantum mechanics basically makes it possible to create a simulation of the universe on a budget.

How would we know if we are the program. You think windows knows who coded it?

has it asked?

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

I feel like Deja vu proves this is a simulation. It's like a program running the same over and over again while learning for variation.

Because they wouldn't have allowed The Wachowski Brothers to create "The Matrix" to tip off the masses


Really tho there's no way to prove or disprove that we do, so who cares?

 

[Brolic Scholar]

To anyone thinking we aren’t living in a simulation, watch these three short videos.

The moment you realize this is an interactive mporg you start doing whatever you want and seeing prizes at the end of your stages. I could also get into time loops and patterns, but let’s start here. And trip that some people play on GOD mode.





GOD mode.

One moment you are denouncing so called cac science and the next minute you are quoting cac science...

And second those experiments are about the how the act of observing can influence outcome and the nature of quantum mechanics


Reality isn't supremely bjective because it is filtered through consciousness...

There is subjectivity

I have direct experience that confirms the simulation theory. That is why I accept it.

Unlike the round ball theory for which I have zero direct experience of.

We live in a pouch and the sun is like the straw of a Capri sun

OMFG!!!!

I mean, quantum physicists theorize that the universe is a hologram, which is somewhat similar to what you're suggesting, plus other scientists claim they find "computer code" in the laws of physics.

Basically it breaks down like this, when matter enters a black hole, there's a point where the 3-dimensional object gets broken down into 2-dimensional "bits" which get stuck on the flat plane of the black hole's event horizon. So all of the information of the 3-dimensional object is there in 2-dimensional bits, and a 3-dimensional object represented on a flat plane is a hologram. Then it gets extended further, because the laws of physics don't forbid the possibility that our entire universe exists on the event horizon of a supermassive black hole, which means our entire universe could be a hologram.

Or you could go the social scientific way about it, "Simulation/Simulacra" and how we live in a facetious existence where things no longer represent anything "real."
