We Are All Just A Computer Simulation

Hmmm, l thought that we couldn't discuss religion here?

But in a nutshell, energy creates the illusion of denser energy to allow resistance in order to become self aware!

Sorry to go all meaning of life, but.....!

Or it might be 42?

Oh, and this won't end well, and it is NASA's fault!

Thanks

I'll give this some serious thought as soon as I'm done figuring out how to get the friggin' lid off of the pickle jar. :-(

So they're saying I'm just a figmentation of a god's imagination that may very well be just a figmentation of their imagination?

Wait! What? LOL!

None of us has blinked out yet so you gotta figure we're doin' those gods some good while they're rollin' around in the sack.

It's a weird kinda phantom hubris makes you aspire to bowl an immortal a 7am wetto, but if our free will really is this compromised then I figure we should all try cavortin' around like loucho hotsies till sundown jus' to see if we can buck the system and get some kinda mexican wave style rompo goin' down up there in heaven.

Lots of interesting stuff to wade through if your remotely interested. 1 hr 14 minutes.

The Matrix - Our Reality In Question - YouTube

Here some details and my analysis on the movie The Matrix I like to share with you:

- In the first part of the movie, the scene where Morpheus talk with Neo for the first time, the next scene is when someone is knocking on the door. When Neo open the door he will notice the White Rabbit tattoo on the girl's shoulder or the wormhole where he will enter after he swallow the red pill. The second detail is when Morpheus shows Neo what is The Matrix or what is The Material World, where you can see but you can't really fell that. The third detail is when he shows the name of the ship. Do you remember what was written before the name? It's written: MARK 3, No. 11 - Gospel of Mark, chapter 3, verse 11! - According to that verse in the Bible, Neo is a metaphor of Christ consciousness. The fourth detail is when Neo goes to the Oracle... She told him: Being The One is like your in love! Did he believe in that? The fifth detail, who is Trinity or should I ask what is behind the name? = The Holy Trinity; The Symbol of Love! Did they fall in love each other? The sixth detail is agent Smith. The superhuman robot, who want to enter in Zion and destroy the city. Seventh detail, the name of the city: Zion or as you can see in the Old Testament, Zion is the Holy Mountain or Holy City!

- In the second part, after a lot of fight in the movie, Neo finally enter in the building and meet the Architect of the Matrix. Do you remember what he told to Neo in that conversation..? That hi is the sixth version of The One who enter in this room, but unlike the others he is different, and you know why? Because he fell in love and he can fell that for the first time. That's why he save Trinity and Zion in the same time!

- In the third part, is the final battle! Agent Smith try to enter Zion and become like them, Enlightened! But Neo and Trinity sacrifice their lives to destroy The Humans/Machines World, end the war and restore the balance on earth!

Thanks

Mark; I don't know if I'll watch the entire video. But I did see a science special on The Science Chanel, where the physicist gave a very lucid reason (at least to me at the time) why the thought this universe may be a simulation.

It was a few years ago. And sometimes new ideas sound better the first time you hear them, before you can dissect the idea itself.

Without seeing this video, my first question is, if the movies like The Matrix (and The 13th Floor), weren't made...and this physicist never saw them..would he still have this theory?

In other words, is this theory the result of the science? Is this a discovery, that was made as a natural result of the math involved?

Or, did the guy watch The Matrix, and then try to see if the math would fit that idea?

Because, when you are looking to prove a particular theory, a clever person can usually find a way...regardless of whether it's true or not.

I did recently look up the computer simulation hypothesis on Wikipedia, and was less convinced. The theory seemed to be more a trick of logic, than real science. I may look again.

Thanks

The idea of "projection" has been around at least since Plato. The philosophy is called "idealism". You have "materialism" and "idealism". So, no, scientists didn't decide to check out the reality of the Matrix.

The matrix is a mix of idealism as it relates to "reality" teamed with modern technology.

You are talking about philosophy. I was talking about physics. I'm familiar with Plato and Idealism. But they are philosophical constructs, not scientific discoveries/theories. That's why I didn't include them.

You also assume that the physicist who came up with the Matrix idea was a student of Plato. Not all scientists are students of philosophy.

Its a result of maths and its hardly advanced just by the video. Its hit peer reviewed journals

[1210.1847] Constraints on the Universe as a Numerical Simulation

and has variants in The universe as a hologram theories

Simulations back up theory that Universe is a hologram : Nature News & Comment

The idea is more derived from the fact the universe is mathematically ordered (which we knew long before the Matrix movies). At first we thought mathematics was just descriptive of the universe (our description) and then we found it was predictive (periodic elements predicted before we found them) which implies a logical order.
