I believe the universe and reality itself is a computer simulation

This makes sense to me. I mean everywhere around you there is mathematic formulas that dictate how the universe works. You have things in nature that can't be explained such as the golden ratio and fractals. I believe our universe is a computer simulation, which may be running inside another simulation, etc.

sounds legit. someone better explain the bad news to the pope :(

To be honest. While it might sound silly, so are other "creation" theories. Anything is possible.

So how exactly did you escape the institution?

Hey I copied the wrong video, I stealth-edited it correct, though. Dang tabbed browsing. But same topic, without the annoying shouting.

But yeah, reality has ECC. Strange as $hit, eh?

This reminds me of the short story The Last Questionby Asimov. Kind of deals with this.

I wonder if our universe's tab is next to the porn tab on our creator's computer.And more importantly, what kind of porn get's our creator turned on?

Hopefully through science and human advancement we can find answers to these questions one day.

all baseless assumptions.

Whether it is or not I don't really care. Wouldn't change anything.

I used to think my life was a reality tv show. After a few weeks I came to the conclusion that wouldn't be possible because no one would watch that crap

What computer sim could possibly create crap like Jersey Shore TV Shows without some heavy drug abuse?Netherscourge

You should really play Star Ocean Till the End of Time if you believe that.

:lol: yep

"mathematics dictate how the universe works" Thats your problem right there its the other way around technically man hasn't invented anything when it comes to math more like discovered and often through observation of the the world around us too. Its not like someone sat in a room and said "1 + 1 = 2 because i say so" it just does.

[QUOTE="mingmao3046"][QUOTE="JohnF111"]Sounds silly to me but then a lot of people believe the universe was created by some sentient being. It's no more stupid than believing that I suppose.JohnF111

We, as a species, evolved from the last survivors of an ancient civilization on Mars. This civilization started messing around with stuff they shouldn't have and they opened a portal to another dimension, which was actually hell itself. Hell invaded Mars and pushed this civilization to the brink. The last few of them created the Soul Cube, which was wielded by their mightiest warrior, to defeat Hell's mightiest warrior. After the invasion from hell was pushed back, the few survivors locked up the portal and other artifacts so that future species would not make the same mistake they did. Then they fled to Earth and here we are, digging up their mistakes on Mars in the year 2145 and unleashing yet another invasion from hell. That's Doom, btw. Lol.SergeantGuy

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"] Or perhaps you just don't understand his point? He means that the maths that humans create, such as numbers, years, even the seconds and minutes that the Babylonians made - can't really be used to measure the full scope of the universe with pinpoint accuracy. Blood-Scribe

Enough of your witchcraft

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]

[QUOTE="Blood-Scribe"] This is why we come up with systems of measurement that fit the scale being investigated and use natural units that are defined in terms of physical constants such as elementary charge.Blood-Scribe
