Can you prove that our entire universe and existence is not a computer simulation?
by EndofMysteries inif you were a computer programmer and you were to create a simulated automated world, that would constantly evolve and self run after initial designs.
first you would have to code the rules, laws, and core elements of this world.
while this is being coded, the program is not run yet, so none of it exists.

I'm repeating Elon Musk when I say it is highly likely he feels the odds are a trillion to one that we are. He makes this observation that we will in the very near future be able to make universes inside our computers perhaps for problem solving value or something.
So if the universe has other intelligent life which has surpassed our present state in the sciences then we need to factor them in and the possibility that perhaps we are a simulation then with all these simulated universes around the odds a re pretty high that we are in a simulation rather than a naturally occurring universe. In which case the odds of a trillion to one maybe a very conservative figure.

We don’t know. But one fanciful possibility is that we live in a computer simulation based on the laws of mathematics — not in what we commonly take to be the real world. According to this theory, some highly advanced computer programmer of the future has devised this simulation, and we are unknowingly part of it. Thus when we discover a mathematical truth, we are simply discovering aspects of the code that the programmer used.
This may strike you as very unlikely. But the Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom has argued that we are more likely to be in such a simulation than not. If such simulations are possible in theory, he reasons, then eventually humans will create them — presumably many of them. If this is so, in time there will be many more simulated worlds than nonsimulated ones. Statistically speaking, therefore, we are more likely to be living in a simulated world than the real one. -

Well first we must remember you can't prove a negative, like you can't prove God doesn't exist or that the boogie man doesn't exist. So right from the get go it is impossible.
It's just very possible and highly likely as far as probabilities go that we are in a simulation. It maybe be provable perhaps as our computing ability increases exponentially in the future. I heard somewhere that Quantum computers maybe able to access other parallel universes.

Something From Nothing?? Why Not??
by frankiespeakin ina while ago i started a thread about ?should nothing exist??.
the reason i started that thread was because i was thinking about what we call ?laws?
that ?govern?

Simulating Universes may be away of using superposition to solve complex problems. Memory and speed of processing doubling every 2 years has a very powerful effect that increases exponentially in a very short time. So we need to give our children space to keep neural plasticity going keep with the changes and stay young and full of wonder and not full of repitious neuron fireing,

I think the Watchtower's ability to capitalize on ancient ignorance and mythology days are number due to the information age and Moore's law were ignorance will become more willful as this technology becomes widely available even in third world countries.

People hate God?
by looter init is a pain that certain individuals pride themselves on hating god, who created everything.
like it's understandable that you choose to not believe in him because of your selfishness or thinking skills but to hate him is forcing it a bit.
i'm very thankful that those such as myself have the courage to believe in the lord.

I heard through the mythical grapevine that Thor gave Jehovah a couple of good ass kicking in the past but he remains the same self deluded asshole and still believes that he's the greatest God there is.
Hey if Jehovah got his ass kicked by Thor say somewhere near the center of our Milky Way galaxy orbiting the black hole that drags the rest of the stars, he be traveling outside this galaxy and I think in a couple of million light year finally land into some other galaxy's black hole's orbit.

Moore's law refers to an observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965. He noticed that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since their invention.
Moore's law predicts that this trend will continue into the foreseeable future. Although the pace has slowed, the number of transistors per square inch has since doubled approximately every 18 months. This is used as the current definition of Moore's law.

Did the flood happen?
by BlackWolf inso we were talking about noah for our family worship tonight and it ended with a little debate between me and my parents about how the flood was possible.
you know, where did the water come from, how did all the animals fit, etc.
of course it led nowhere and my parents came up with some strange theories like that there was "an expanse of water in the sky" and that's where all the water came from.

We must remember when reading about the flood in the bible what was their understanding of dry land or earth at that time,, before there were science, telescopes, Columbus discovery North America.
They certainly had no idea about gravity: up was up and down was down the stars were floating on a big circular dome. Galileo discovery that the earth was revolving around the sun which lead to Inquisition trail from the rulling Church was still yet 2000 years future.
So when it says the water overwelmed the highest mountain they weren't talking about MT Everest, they simply were making shit up and had no idea what the earth really was (definitely not a globe floating in space),, but dry land was all they thought it was and used their imagination to fill in the blanks of their understanding.
