I am very interested in the results of these experiments. I don’t think there is a result which changes my overall behavior. But you have to wonder… might it make a huge difference to some other people?
Physicists Are Conducting Five Experiments To Determine Whether We Are Really Living In A Simulation
A team of physicists from the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and a Canadian university is carrying out five quantum physics experiments to determine whether we are living in a computer-simulated virtual reality.
Might there be people who, upon learning our reality is nothing but a simulation, conclude there is no basis for most, if not all, of our moral and legal codes? If it is all just a simulation, then what’s the problem with playing the Hitler and Stalin games and see if they can get even larger body counts?
Would be funny if the result is they found out the God of the Bible was real.
Tangential side note: decades ago, the Soviet Union tasked some scientists to investigate the occult and see what there was to claims of the supernatural of various sorts. After a long time of investigating, their conclusion was (paraphrased) “we do not need to read the Bible for stories or evidence of God. We have the receipts. Demons and angles exist.” [source: a guy I trust the honesty and academic integrity of who read the reports about it in Russian, says there were never any English translations that he is aware of. So, yeah, technically a literal “friend of a friend from your perspective; make of it what you will.]
Man has spent thousands of years developing the discipline of mathematics in order to model observations about the real world.
Now that man has forgotten the original purpose, he believes the real world exists only within the medium in which its depiction has been set.
Let me give it a shot. Yes, we are. Just not maybe what Billy Gates and crew have in mind.
Matter, last I checked we couldn’t tell an actual particle from a wave. Force being what we “feel”. That coupled with the fact the distance from a proton/neutron to the electron is 99.999 percent empty space. (Probably more.) (When someone calls me an airhead. I don’t get offended. We all are.)
Couple that with the fact that what we see, is just wave formations. Resonating at varying frequencies. Color being solely the realm of vibrations off electrons. Change direction of spin, change color.
Same for sound. Vibrations.
What we see, hear, feel is all waves/force in empty space.
Mathematics proves that you can’t start with a zero, (0), nothing. You have to start with something, (1), or a series thereof.
0+0= 0. 1+0=1. 1+1=2, And so on. We didn’t start from nothing.
Even the big bang starts with everything already. So that can’t be right.
I could go on, but the real question is why? (Something science masturbates around in an endless circle jerk.) Here’s my stab.
God knew sin was built to his creation. Angels and us alike. How would you deal with it? This is what I see very plainly.
God made a simulation that for all practical proposes is about as “real”, as it gets.
Then turns us loose. He told us what he wants us to do. Be he rarely interferes with what we do. (He does, at a certain point like when children will no longer have a chance but to be taught total evil, Sodom and Gomorrah, Tower of Babel, etc.) He wipes it pretty much clean and starts over.
Most, not all, but most people have a built in sense of right and wrong. That comes from somewhere, for the propose of helping us chose.
Some beings chose what God wants, others just can’t bring themselves too.
Pressure being to much for them. (Notice how almost everything you love starts killing you after awhile?)
In so doing God beings he wants. Puts the rest in a place where all they can think about is the pain their in. (Which is probably just white noise to God at this point.)
And moves off to the next thing he has planned for those that make the cut.
We will know evil, but we will know how to fight it also.
And who knows? We might have to go through several such logic gates to be what God wants as his final creation?
Sounds insane? It’s just what I had to mentally twist reality into to live here. (And truly shouldn’t sound crazier than any other crap that comes out of my mouth.)
Your experience may vary. But I think that’s the point.
“Chose this day whom you will serve. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
Communism is a crime against humanity. (Unless I’m in the wrong simulation.)
It’s unlikely that we will ever be able to determine with certainty whether or not reality is real or a simulation of some kind. And the basic fact is it doesn’t matter.
It’s what we have.
