>At the most recent Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate, recently held at New York’s Hayden Planetarium, scientists gathered to address the question for the year: Is the universe a computer simulation? It’s an older question that you might imagine, and if we interpret it a bit more broadly then it’s really one of the oldest questions imaginable: How do we know that reality is reality? And, if our universe were a big, elaborate lie, could we ever devise some test to prove that fact? At the debate, host and celebrity astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson argued that the probability is that we live in a computer simulation.

>neil deweed man tyson It's not even like if our reality was a simulation, that our existence becomes invalidated. It's an unanswerable question, regardless of how much theoretical math/physics you can muster up to find out, you still won't get an answer.

It's not a meme, there's a lot of science behind it now and simulated universe theory is much more plausible than material universe.

it is a meme. it's retarded to unironically use a human construct like a computer to try and explain the universe

It is in a parallel universe
Parker Lewis
same thing with the multiverse theory
Joshua Wood
Science that you aren't even capable of understanding without specialized knowledge of math and physics, and science conducted with relatively no evidence. How do you peer review a formula that approximates the statistical probability of the universe being simulated?
Jose Edwards
Dont be a faggot. The only reason this theory exisits is because the human brain is incapable of understanding the universe so it defaults the the what it currently understands as the most complex understanding at the moment.
Eli Johnson
What if the universe that created our simulated universe also a simulation?
Jonathan Russell
why? In all honesty I don't understand.

isnt this all based on a fallacy?
its based on the observer effect fallacy - where people think the particles behave differently when you look at them - when really they are just behaving differently because in order to observe them, you cant just use your fucking eye - you have to smash particles into them thus altering their behavior entirely.
Jace Howard
Philosophers have been saying that its pretty likely we're in a simulation for fucking decades now.
Why is this even newsworthy?

"Simulation Theory" is baby-tier spirituality that a vast amount of religious sects have already embraced and mapped.
Oliver Martinez
It would be way to much for me to adequately explain here. Start off with and then explore some of the points brought up further via other videos and articles.

Whats wrong with him saying that? Hes just pointing out that reflections arent real because perspective varies.

A video which starts with a Matrix analogy, I don't really know.
Btw. do you guys also think that neil de grass tyson is basically the adult form of clock kid?

If this is "baby tier" then what is adult tier spirituality?

Work on your stats bro. This is the sims, not grand theft auto

kek worship and meme magic.

Just watch the video, it's meant to be normie friendly. You will be mindfucked after if this concept is very new to you.
Ian Brooks
Earth is an intergalactic reality TV show pretty much like Big Brother where the producers use the Jews on Earth to manipulate events here for more spacekeks. They literally just fuck with us for funny storylines

The reality IS a matrix. How fucking dumb do you need to be not to realize that. Everything in science says so.

Parker Campbell
I wouldn't say the concept is new to be, I think every 12 year old has already heard about it. I was just wondering how anybody would believe, that it is very likely that we actually live in a simulated reality. Even if it were true, how could we ever find out? What kind of evidence do these people have?
yea yea I know its CoD but dude explains all the simulation shit in a nice way
Jeremiah Rivera
We could never prove or not prove that we live in a simulated reality because both assertions could be a part of the simulation/programming itself. It then follows that we couldn't prove or disprove anything for the same reason.
Hudson Ward
It wouldn't surprise me at all. You can tell this shit is fake.
One theory is that all information is actually encoded on 2D "Packets" and that 3D space is an illusion.
Basically like how when you get close enough to a monitor you can see the pixels. Only these are tens of trillions of times smaller than atoms.
Camden Morris

>People don't think we live in a simulated reality
I'm 90% sure that I'm the only real person and everyone else is actually just a bot. I'm onto all of you.
Cooper Davis
right, that's why the whole concept is stupid and meaningless. There is nothing to gain in seriously following this path.
Matthew Campbell
DELETE THIS
Julian Richardson
>How do we know that reality is reality? Literally 500BC question, and I doubt the black science guy has anything more to add.
Also, concerning the simulation, its a joke. Common agreement of physical existance of man is particles. Regardless of simulation or not, these particles follow the laws of physics. From this follows that free will or the lack of it has nothing to do with simulation. So too if one is to think of god, he too is regardless of simulation. Simulation, infact, cannot change the fundamentals if you really think of it. Since simulation too is a slave to the fundamental "laws" of the world.
Elijah Smith
And we are just the npcs, fuck this gay earth
Elijah Thomas
There are many paths. I guess if the only self realization fedoras can achieve is through a "scientific" door that le based physics man has shown them, then great.

It's all BULLSHIT.

Ok I have watched the stupid video. They didn't give any hints on why the simulation thing should be more plausible than material universe. So it basically was meme magic all along?
