Is our universe FAKE? Physicists claim we could all be the playthings of an advanced civilisation

Physicists say there is a possibility that our world is merely a simulation They claim there may be evidence of this if only we know where to look For instance, some of the laws of physics may not quite add up, they say

The year is 2050 and super-intelligent robots have taken over the planet.

Except you have no idea, because you're living in a computer simulation, depicting what life was like in 2015.

Everything you see and touch right now has been created by robotic overlords who are using humanity as playthings in their virtual game.

That's the radical theory put forward by a number of scientists over the years, who claim there is a possibility that our world as we know it is fake.

He notes that, according to Oxford University philosopher Nick Bostrom, the scenario played out in the film, The Matrix, could be a reality.

But 'instead of having brains in vats that are fed by sensory inputs from a simulator, the brains themselves would also be part of the simulation,' said Bostrom.

'It would be one big computer program simulating everything, including human brains down to neurons and synapses.'

Kuhn also points out how physical laws are sets of computational processes, with patterns in nature revealing an inherent, intentional model.

Marvin Minsky, a founder of artificial intelligence, told Kuhn it would be very difficult to distinguish that you're in a computer simulation.

That is, he says, 'unless the programmer has made some slips — if you notice that some laws of physics aren't quite right, [or] f you find rounding-off errors.'

Several years ago, Silas Beane of the University of Bonn suggested, like Minsky, that there may be signs that we are living in a simulation.

BTW, Robert Kuhn is not a physicist, and neither is Nick Bostrom. It’s best to get the more sane info from real physicists.

The whole universe started as a train set under some alien Xmas tree somewhere. ;’)

I don't know those stoners had it pretty well laid out - it did take a long time to explain it though!

Except for the fact that BEFORE they land in Hell, they will face their Judge, Christ Himself, who said, paraphrased, that the Father has turned all judgment over to the Son. They will face the One who offered to be their Savior. They will see His scars from the thorns and the spikes.

And they will hear Him say that they are without excuse; because the wonders, the beauties and the elegant systems of the universe literally SHOUT the existence of a loving, all wise Creator who deserved to be worshipped, but they blew him off. They will agonize through eternity, cursing their own stupid hubris.
Thanks.

These are the same Scientist(fiction) types telling us that climate change is due primarily to human activity. Horse manure!

Come to think about it, I cannot think of anything that tells me these Physicists are wrong. History seems to be nothing more than events that keep repeating. different names, different places but same old s*it.

Which Scripture promises:

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Ecc 1:9

Isn’t there a recipe for grits casserole? Need cheddar cheese for that, IIRC. Had something so good to eat the other day that I just blurted out ‘Lord, this sure is good. Can I fix you a bowl of it?’ Wasn’t grits casserole though ...

Humanity is being prepared for the great lie which will be spewed to them to explain away the Rapture of The Bride of Christ ... and so many will swallow that lie gladly.

Brin suggests a "back door" in the simulation program that would enable the alleged programmers to control people

So these hyper-advanced super-intelligent beings who will exist billions of years from now are stuck using 20th Century technology? LOL!!! That assumption always cracks me up.

Strange. I could not read the dailymail article on my iphone. I had to get back on my computer to read it. On the iphone, the dangling/floating/popping/sparkling ads make the article unreadable. I wonder if I just discovered one of the inconsistencies in the space-time fabric that proves that we are living in a simulation.
