Physicists say there is a possibility that our world is merely a simulation They claim there may be evidence of this if only we know where to look For instance, some of the laws of physics may not quite add up, they say
The year is 2050 and super-intelligent robots have taken over the planet.
Except you have no idea, because you're living in a computer simulation, depicting what life was like in 2015.
Everything you see and touch right now has been created by robotic overlords who are using humanity as playthings in their virtual game.
That's the radical theory put forward by a number of scientists over the years, who claim there is a possibility that our world as we know it is fake.
He notes that, according to Oxford University philosopher Nick Bostrom, the scenario played out in the film, The Matrix, could be a reality.
But 'instead of having brains in vats that are fed by sensory inputs from a simulator, the brains themselves would also be part of the simulation,' said Bostrom.
'It would be one big computer program simulating everything, including human brains down to neurons and synapses.'
Kuhn also points out how physical laws are sets of computational processes, with patterns in nature revealing an inherent, intentional model.
Marvin Minsky, a founder of artificial intelligence, told Kuhn it would be very difficult to distinguish that you're in a computer simulation.
That is, he says, 'unless the programmer has made some slips — if you notice that some laws of physics aren't quite right, [or] f you find rounding-off errors.'
Several years ago, Silas Beane of the University of Bonn suggested, like Minsky, that there may be signs that we are living in a simulation.

“If that’s true, 2015 is a pretty shitty simulation. Can we do 1964 instead ?”
If we could erase LBJ and some other nasty things.
I’ve seen The Matrix too..it was a good movie.
“Professing themselves to be wise, they become fools.” People like this are willfully ignorant of the Truth of Jesus Christ and are but a lack of breath away from eternal damnation. God have mercy and grant them repentance to the acknowledging of the Truth.
First thing that came to my mind too.
“I know we’re not in the matrix because no sane designer would make Obammy president”.
A sadistic, sick designer would.
They refuse to believe in God the Creator yet they subscribe to a sci fi script from a movie series called “The Matrix.”
Cf. NON SERVIAM, by Stanislav Lem, reprinted with commentary by Douglas Hofstadter in THE MIND’S I.
It’s about an artificial universe created within a computer by a researcher who is able to observe their activities, but does not reveal himself to them. In fact, he may have to “turn them off” due to lack of funding for his project.
Maybe they are testing to see just how much crap we'll take.
Yeah, let’s go with an avant-garde theory to explain our existence.
...at this point...what difference does it make any more?.... dooodooodooodoooodooo...entering the Twilight Zone......
And maybe the simulation isn’t a real simulation but a simulated simulation. Maybe it is simulations all the way down.
The Wachowski brothers cooked up and directed all the Matrix movies and one of them is now a trans sexual, So what does that tell you about their warped brains?
I don’t think the Lord Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the Designer and Creator of EVERYTHING, seen and unseen, is not amused by assinine, profane babblings such as this.
Then the most outrageous blasphemy of all, they disdain His Plan of Salvation and spit upon His blood, shed for their Salvation. What a shock they have awaiting them when they are forced to bow their knees and declare Him God and Lord of All.....just before they are cast into the lake of fire for eternity. Face it. There are only two destinations once they leave this life. Heaven or Hell. Disdain Heaven, and Hell is the automatic, inescapable alternative.
Hit reset and start this last level over.
Mental masturbation.
Once had a lucid dream in which one of the people asked what would happen to him when I woke up. I had no asswer. But at the time, he seemed like an independent entity. Always bothered me...
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
2 Thessalonians 2:11
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
Colossians 2:8
“...if you notice that some laws of physics aren’t quite right...”
Say, at the quantum level or inside black holes where all sorts of physics silliness and paradoxes occur?
