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.

Well if that’s the case, maybe we’ll finally find out who put the bop in the bop-shoo-bop.
No, liberals you’re not in a suspended state of animation and hooked up as a power source to a gigantic supercomputer. And you can’t dodge bullets and wear long black leather jackets with sunglasses and walk up walls either.
That explains a lot.
If there are super-intelligent beings or highly intelligent robots playing games with us...
then...
it tell us that they’re having fun with us, by including the highly intelligent pawns known as conservatives, and pitting them against the brainless liberals.
All for what? Enjoyment by our ‘overlords’?
Anyhow...
Now that we suspect that we’re not real, or that we’re just pawns, perhaps we can teach those ‘overlords’ a lesson or two by going against the rules of the game, and just staying home, sleeping and eating and disobeying all of the ‘commands’ being given to us. Then, we take over the game and we destroy the ‘overlords’ and we then become real entities that matter. “All lives matter”, like we hear some people tell us.
Three letter name: God.
Sorry...I’ve seen the T.V. series called “Fringe”...
Too much weed, after a binge watching Matrix.
And HE rolled over and began to wake up from HIS dream, and we all vanished....................
They call intelligent design unscientific, but this theory fits the definition of intelligent design.
Based on the sun, moon and stars (His Creation) and His Scriptures, today is the 4th Day of His Work Week. The 19th Day of His 5th month on His Calendar.
But the world says its Tuesday.
I am guessing Tuesday is the ‘fake’..
Scriptures did tell us times and laws would change..
The laws of physics still apply to grits on the stove,like Vincent Laguardia Gambini, argued?
Or...
There’s a God.
Signs of intention.
But it must be robots.
Or aliens.
Can’t be God.
lol lol lol lulzzzzzzzz
Well that could explain Donald Trump.
Can I be the thimble on Park Avenue?
And who put the ram in Ramadan?
The original Matrix was and is my favorite movie of all time. However, the sequence describing that the “why” of the matrix was to get energy from humans was utterly and completely ridiculous.
Meanwhile they believe stuff like this before they believe in God. Imagine that.
