not only that, scientist tend to look at history as well to reference different things and evaluate theories......
But thats ok , we will just throw all of that out.........
Wouldnt it be hilarious if these aliens they are claiming end up being misogynistic, barbaric beings.....
Sweet sweet Irony
Oh for sure. At the back end of all these discussions is really nothing more than a desire to bash the notion of God or bash humans in general. This idea that any and all aliens have to be benevolent is laughable. . .
Agreed, be their aliens im sure their temperament is just as varied as what we have here on earth
Sometime I truly feel that my mind, my actions are being directed by something else.
Read below what this person said & after I'll expound on it a bit more correctly.

In computer games, something very similar to Newtons third law is established so that physicality is simulated in the game. So, my question is...is Newton's 3rd law in our reality simply the execution of code that promotes physicality?

There was a scientist many years back who figured out in subatomic particles that it possesses an error-control logic which is similar to implemented error control codes in nearly all professionally done computer software.
[.........]
Dr. Gates: One way they might do that is to look for evidence of codes in the laws of their physics. But, you see, that's what had happened to me already.
Ms. Tippett: That you had found them?
Dr. Gates: That I and my colleagues indeed, we had found the presence of codes in the equations of physics. Not that we're trying to compute something. It's a little bit like doing biology where, if you studied an animal, you'd eventually run into DNA, and that's essentially what happened to us. These codes that we found, they're like the DNA that sits inside of the equations that we study. So, yeah, do we live in the matrix?
Gates explains, “This unsuspected connection suggests that these codes may be ubiquitous in nature, and could even be embedded in the essence of reality. If this is the case, we might have something in common with the Matrix science-fiction films, which depict a world where everything human being’s experience is the product of a virtual-reality-generating computer network.”

Also to the poster your replying to, it's incredibly self centered to think that any idea put out there is only to discredit your personal interpritation of religion...

you're right when it comes to thin lines if the maker of all we know isn't god or aliens .and if we are going to criticise one another for what the individual believes within this topic , then we also are stepping the thin line of respect and one should believe or not believe.
But what I mean is that if we are going to call names , the Mod will probably kill this great thread..

I used to really buy into the whole "Simulated Reality" thing, until I learned about irrational numbers. Irrational numbers are numbers that are infinitely long and never repeat. Think Pi, or the Square Root of 2.
Any such number would instantly and irreversibly crash our simulated universe, as all available storage space on whatever computer we're simulated on would fill as it tries to express an infinitely long numeral.
So any time I see a thread like this, I thank irrational numbers. They keep things real.
You've undoubtedly heard over and over again about what an absurdly complex entity the human brain is. But a new breakthrough by Japanese and German scientists might finally drive the point home. Taking advantage of the almost 83,000 processors of one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, the team was able to mimic just one percent of one second's worth of human brain activity—and even that took 40 minutes.

Why simulate such terrible pain and suffering?
What are 'they' testing or getting from this matrix then?

I'd like to know why the developers aren't updating and patching their software. We have plenty of bugs that need to be fixed. You know how you log into Steam and see that little thing at the bottom of the window that tells you whatever games are being auto-patched? I'd love waking up every morning and having life auto-patched. You'd have something to look forward to every day. You could turn on the TV and read the update logs every morning with your coffee. Oh cool, they finally released a patch for Autism.
An infinitely long integer cannot exist within a finite simulation. If we DO exist only within a simulation, it's hardware is finite. Therefore, such a number cannot exist within that system.

Not buying in that. It's like saying a circle cannot exist because the radio of diameter to it's circumference is irrational. (cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers)
Edit:
It could just as well argued that irrationals are proof of a simulation
