It's not a computer simulation created by our future selves or an alien race etc, it's not created on any type of super/quantum computer. It's a simulation created by the super consciousness that we are all from. It created it so it can experience. We are all part of this consciousness but have been separated and made to forget in order to gain this experience without influence or past knowledge that would effect the experiences outcome. Like drops of water from the ocean, we are part of that ocean yet separated and will return to provide the experience we have been separated for.

That's my overwhelming feeling of what is going on. Sounds wacky but I just can't shake it and the more I look into the nature of reality and what is being learnt about consciousness and the quantum world the more I am convinced this could be the case.

Explains a lot of the head scratching events that take place in this world. Good bad right wrong it's all just experience for the infinitely powerful super consciousness.

(Where did you get 1000x, by the way?)

A lot of it breaks down to light waves, not all of it. But that's irrelevant. And to answer your next question:

All particles act like waves when not observed, where do you get a lot of it, are you just blowing smoke?

Is therefore the programmer of this "simulation" a man living in his parents basement?

Simulations are simulations of reality, not reality itself. Simulations exist on computers, not anywhere else. Computers are made by man, not by anyone else. This whole idea is still the idea of intelligent design, only greatly exaggerated for modern understanding.

God is now a computer programmer? What was he before computers were conceived?

The simulation theory defies all logic. We know for fact that we exist outside of computers. We know for fact that we invented computers. We know for fact that we invented simulations. We know for fact that computers cannot harbour life. We know for fact that computers cannot create life. We know that only man puts data into computers. We know only man can program and write simulations. So therefore, the world is a computer simulation? What?

edit on 11-12-2012 by LesMisanthrope because: (no reason given)

You are trying to understand and apply logic to something that is apparently outside of your understanding, you are relying on the false assumption that there is a "god", buildings are made by man but when you were a kid you made forts, cars are made by man as well but when you were a kid you made go carts, see where I'm going with this? Think of this world as an ant farm, small primitive not at all capable of doing what we do on a grand scale, you have no idea what kind of "reality" is really out there, you are the character in the scene who doesn't realize he's not real and is trying to figure out the world around him but it is beyond his realm of understanding!

Currently we have many simulated worlds for entertainment (Sims, WoW, etc.), maybe this is also for entertainment and we are just NPC's (non-player characters) and the people running the simulation have fun by controlling powerful characters, the president of the US for example .

Let's go deeper down the rabbit hole, maybe they are controlling "god", maybe "god" is part of the simulation as well?

Ok. A computer is a computer. True or false? Although I cannot prove it, I'm assuming you're using one. Turn on a simulation, and try it out, play around with it for a bit. Now go outside, look around, and contemplate the similarities. Now, name one similarity between a computer program and reality.

I'll do you one better, go put on a movie (a visual simulation of a real event) you name me one similarity between the movie and reality, movies are made by men, right?

So how many hours does it take to write each persons program? who writes all seven billion programs? who updates these programs second by second? who is 'who' ? who writes the programs for the weather? fish? birds? animals? insects? plants? seaweed? who writes the programs for all the auto's? planes? ships? railroad locomotives?

Are you talking about Grand Theft Auto or World of Warcraft?

my question to this "simulation" theory is WHY?



why would someone want to "play" as me and go through a boring un fulfilling life filing and shredding papers in a gray office cubicle? why?

why not use "cheat" codes and make me rich with fun exotic cars, and all sorts of women?:...why not make it a fun simulation,

if i were playing a simulation of my life...i would have turned the game off and got my money back...

can anyone answer this?

Stop looking at it like it's "The Sims 3" look at it like a scientific computer simulation of a Tsunami to see what the end result is! Not all computer simulations are for fun, some are for scientific research!

Or there are just waves of potentiallity and they look like particles when observed.

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief...

It has happend before
It will happen again
