Wouldn't the whole reason for the simulation be underminded if the avatars "mankind" were to discover the very synthetic nature of the universe?

If anything this theory gives support to an "intelligent design" argument, and if there is indeed an all powerful "God" then it would make complete sense to me that there would be a "fingerprint" of design, or order where the theory of evolution would say there is to be chaos.

I know! And the crazy thing is this is not just a "fingerprint." This is more like a full blown Easter Egg hidden in the software! I mean you literally can't make this stuff up. It's right out The 13th Floor.

So maybe what is gonna happen 21 dec 2012.... is they end the simulation? Maybe this was what the mayans knew... The end of the cycle of simulation? Or maybe ascension means we finally understand why we are here... to simulate the past for our future selves: The Alien Greys(Are actually us from the future, the guys running this simulation.. their UFOs are actually time machines/simulation observers) That would explain why they are so shy... They want the simulation to run uninfluenced by them

Whoa, this is a bit to take in... but wow.

This is amazing.

I knew it.

Humans are really god. If we were created by a computer in the future we created then we are god himself.

I would like to say we are a privileged few who get to see, that potentially the big bang invented itself. It was so it could conceive of a life-form to be able to thank it, by inventing a quantum technology so powerful to do it again for it to all play out, in a gigantic loop of probabilities being just perfect enough to support it.

In Essence these theories Confirm GOD, but The Mayans and Hindus Learned it was all cyclical if GOD is Time.

In order to exist it had to create the conditions to make itself. Quantum physics supports an argument like that.

I can get more into it later, it's 4am EST for me, and I had to at least put something here.

Nah, We'll probably get a software patch to "Earth 5.91"
Or maybe a full upgrade to "Earth 6.0"!

Have to wait and see...

I told you.
There is no spoon.

Um, if you want to skip all the New Age metaphysics and stale references to the Matrix movies, skip to "digital physics" as a search topic.

t' Hooft is a proponent of one view of it. Basically, they try to derive laws of physics from information theory. The first guy to really propose something like this is probably Kantor in "Information Mechanics" which is pricey but you can still buy, I think...yep, used is about 50 bucks.

was the big bang intentional or was it an accident/unintentional?
perhaps the unified source
required seperation due to infection similar to virus/anti-virus conflict?
i lend an ear to all theory reflecting a possible 'fractured' system.
information rich
framework and architecture.
perhaps the architect is unsure as to what is required to
correct the fractured state or is it concern that any action to correct will render
what is already established null and void?
gibberish over and out..
f.
btw op splendid spread.

That is like saying numbers or mathematics are human made ?

The theoretical part i agree, for now, we'll have to wait and see. This is an awesome thread, blew my mind actually (:

darn i keep getting the same results.

Incredible!

And people have said that Intellegent Design is dead.....

I have always believed in God, and to be shown that He or She is a really cool scientist!

We are ALL children of the same universe!

This is crazy and my mind is full of questions that need answers.

I understand everything except for one thing.

In what way does his pictures represent life?

What was the string theory born of? Who decided 1's and 0's?

Who is matching real world with the pictures and theories and how does it apply to a real world thing?

The interview didn't explain enough, all I got was that life is like a computer including error correcting, but how? Where? I need to apply his theory to a real world application so I understand.

This is very interesting and just more evidence to me that there has to be an intelligence behind all of this.

In order for all of this raw data of 1's and 0's to go from a high state of entropy to a low state of entropy that transmits and transcribes meaningful information that produces everything from a tree to a TV, you have to have intelligence behind it.

What he's saying is that this is an error correcting code. We also see an error correcting code in DNA.

What this means is an intelligence produced the program. It's like if I write a program that's going to be copied over and over and over again, you know there's going to be a level of error and this level of error grows as you're transmitting more data. So to minimize the error, you put in place an error correcting code. This means their has to be an intelligence that has foreknowledge of the code that's being copied.

So if I write a program that will produce the word THAT for billions of years, I will write an error correcting code and add extra T's, H's and A's so if the millionth time the program is about to produce TAHT, the error correcting code will catch it and correct it. Randomness can't do this because THAT is no different than TAHT. In the eyes of randomness there both the same thing. In the eyes of an error correcting code there not the same thing because intelligence has programmed the code to understand the difference.
