The theory might not be falsifiable yet but it will be. I've already said they are looking into this just like they are looking further into consciousness. Would you be happy if I just call it theoretical science? I find your approach far to aggressive for my liking,sorry.

Aliens don't really interest me so I don't tend to think about them or care that much inside or outside the simulation. If people wish to have an alien hypothesis good for them though. Naturally it's possible the sim was created by aliens but I'm still going with the SI. The reason I believe it...

I do think you mention God to much,personally I don't think living in a sim proves much about that one way or the other. I definitely don't understand why the fact we are living in a simulated universe would make someone angry. It's kinda cool if you think about it. Things are moving...

Tom Campbell supports sim theory as does James Gates as does Hans Moravec,it isn't just the dudes you mentioned. There's many more but I don't think this should be a contest about who can name the most believers vs non believers. I think to many assumptions are being made as to the sim being...

The other dude called them calculations,I just parroted his word and said they weren't mine,read the posts. I think I called them odds. I don't have to believe everything Musk says by the way,I don't think he's a saint. And no,I don't follow him on Twitter. At least you have some idea who...

That's great news. Again this is only an assumption but I think in the next 10/20/30 years it's possible we can make advancements in all manner of technology that to some might seem unimaginable. If we ever manage to scale the the heights of SI,the sky is certainly the limit from that point...

As previously noted,the probability calculations are not my calculations. I'm happy enough to go with the one in a billion chance we are not living in a simulation. If you dislike those calculations that's fine,but once more,the calculations are not mine. If you believe these calculations have...

Good point cannot. The Big bang is another one of those complicated questions that become easier to answer when looked at from a simulation perspective. Going from a point of singularity to an infinite universe is hard to understand but in a simulation not so much.

Hence why the comment you have hastily replied to used the word starting,as in beginning. Do you strongly feel we have reached our maximum in resolution capabilities? I would suggest there is one in a billion chance that belief is correct,similar to the odds we are not living inside a simulation.

I think Musks assumptions are very fair,while not scientific it's hard to ignore the rate technology is advancing and to what levels this will eventually lead. The possibility that we will be able to create a simulation ourselves is certainly feasible which will naturally create questions of its...

Ok fine,if you think sims is a conspiracy good for you :rolleyes: Have a good day man and try and stay happy.

Now your just being silly with this alien talk. I'm somewhat disappointed TP and I'm not sure the talk of Aliens is really appropriate. We cannot know or understand the rules and laws that govern our creators universe until we have some understanding of the rules that govern base reality. You...

Maybe we are an Artificial Intelligence ourselves and were placed inside a sim as a way for our creator to confine us? That would be a clever ploy as I'm sure you would agree you wouldn't want AI out there running wild,it could cause damage to the base reality. Maybe the AI that was created...

Surely you have heard the one in a billion chance observation we are not living in a simulation made by Elon Musk? I think you might need to do some basic research on this fascinating topic. Also,I have no idea why our creator created the simulation. It's a fascinating question though. It...

Don't blame me,they're not my odds. One in a billion chance we are not living in a simulation. I tend to agree with that prediction,sounds about right from what we have seen in the past 30 years and what we will see in the next 30.

One in a billion chance we are not living in a simulation,pretty straight forward odds in my book. VR has already reached the point that is starting to show there is a higher chance we are simulated than not.

But science is studying flat holographic universe itself,and multiverses. They're taking it very seriously. There's lots of different types of religion,and there not all being taught in schools, And different parts of the world tend to follow different religions,while science is universal.

Cheers for the long post Danx10. Personally I think we are on the same page except you've had the opportunity to explain it better or to just explained it better. On some of your points,I've never said to dismiss science rigour,or to ignore science,or our current theories.I've never said proof...

Well we are spending billions of dollars to research the universe is nothing like we currently understand. Elon Musk even went with the odds of one in a billion and chances are those odds very much include 'flat'. If you have something to say regarding a seperate thread,why not say it in that...

Nothing on earth is meaningless,it's all apart of out journey through life.

There's no denying anything. Yes times move forward but I'm speaking for those who think we need to spread our wings and realise some of our theories could be very wrong. In some areas we have made wonderful progress,in others not much at all. I'm speaking for those areas. As for the post you...

Poor moral standards is also a reason why a more modern society may turn away from science. It's another simple area modern society has changed in a rather significant way. The killing of animals for scientific research had more of a 'squirming' effect on people back in previous times,but is far...

We have observed less than 5% of what makes up our universe. So when your going to begin,you should probably start round about there. :mad::fire: On topic in a sense,and I've stated this previous. Science could be entering its most exciting and progressive era in mankinds history. There is a...

Might be a tad hard to look over the edge of something that's being projected as round when your inside the projection. And of course you can take images of all the planets being round,when your actually observing them. Particles change states when observed,we know that.The universe is made up...

Of course what we currently know is important,and it will be a great tool in discovering more. We can't escape from the fact that our knowledge of the universe and even our own planet is very poor, and there are some huge holes in many of our current theories. Like I've said,I think science is...

Insurmountable evidence is still not proof,it's just not enough for me especially when put into consideration with our lack of understanding in a universal sense,and what is currently perceivable to the human mind. Scope and context are very important in my scientific love. There are threads...

I think we have both made our feelings known on this matter and believe there are more appropriate threads for further discussions. Your a theories man,and I'm more into an open minded approach until facts are further established.

I also believe humans are exceptionally arrogant. Research will find us the discoveries we are still so far from obtaining. Arrogance and ego I have very little interest in.

That is one paper of which their are others suggesting a holographic universe,as there are on simulation hypothesis,as there are on holographic flat black holes. There are far to many holes in our current theories to discount others. Even scientists at CERN are now concerned that our theories...

No,there currently is a thread running on flat holographic universes,that the last I checked,was where the earth is housed. The flat universe/earth theory is theory is very much on the scientific table. Science hasn't rejected this theory.
