Real Physicist REACTS to Family Guy 

I still don't get it. xD

Family Guy referenced him a couple of times earlier in that episode. I think there may have also been a racial joke in the episode, and having Tyson, a respected black scientist do that schtick might’ve been somewhat of a commentary on how black entertainers are often viewed.

Plus he can say anything and make it sound like science

@@cadejust6777 I am not transphobic. I have many trans friends. I don't understand what you are talking about

No, the universe was a *.rar file

Damn you! I was just about to comment something similar. Oh well, you snooze you lose.

How else would they get the simulation running.

I see we're you going haha

I think its more like being a rar auto extractor inside a rar file. the auto extractor creates the rar file its in.

Love that show. I'd like to see an actual scientist's opinion.

🥲

Or it’s a Boltzmann brain situation, in which case you don’t need to simulate any of those things.

I also do game dev, and while you are correct about bugs you're making a huge fallacy here. You're applying the limitations of our programming, at our level of technology, with the amount of time spent on it and comparing it to what would be an incomprehensible level of programming, technology, and time. This is a computer where likely the entirety of it would run on quantum physics. As of right now the most advanced quantum computers we have can run simulations that would take the most powerful supercomputer in the world tens of thousands of years to run can be done in mere minutes or less. And these quantum computers are in their infancy only having dozens of qubits in them. As the qubits increase the processing power increases exponentially. There are 2 leading theories for the technological limit Jupiter Brains and Matrioshka brains these are computers where technology has developed to the absolute limit reaching the smallest possible size and having the highest amount of computational power. One is a condensed computer on the scale of a gas giant designed to reduce lag by not worrying about signals having to cross too large of distances and the other is a hyper computer on the scale of a solar system comprised of multiple dyson sphere layers harnessing the entire energy of a star or black hole. The amount of technology and power these computers would possess is something we are incapable of estimating. This covers just the processing power part now if you truly work in game dev you would know that a major part of it is optimization. We optimize as much as we possibly can to reduce the strain on the system and free up more resources. For instance trying to use 10 lines of code to do something vs using 22 lines. If you had a Jupiter/Matrioshka brain using a hyper intelligent AI to run a simulated universe and over the course of millions and billions of years it worked to optimize the simulations code to perfection it would inevitably run perfectly or close enough to perfection to be indiscernible. Optimization measures can be programmed in depending on observed scale(quantum physics and general relativity) on the normal scale of people entire processes can be completely ignored because of the scale and quantum physics only needs to be simulated when being observed or used. In addition things that can't be seen don't need to be fully simulated for instance the core of Jupiter doesn't need to be fully simulated because we are incapable of observing it. There are countless ways the simulation can be optimized over a vast period of time to eliminate bugs and issues. And even if there are bugs due to it being a simulation we could be programmed to not notice the bugs when they happen.

@@-Offstar I understand where you're coming from but you than have to ask the question who could possibly create a computer/technology that powerful. It than leads to the questions do they exist in a simulation and so we're in a simulation in a simulation in a simulation etc. I just don't like the whole simulation theory.

@@MajorSmurf It's a problematic theory to be sure, especially since the ONLY way it could possibly be proven in any way is if we advance to the point to simulating our own universe, just to prove it can BE simulated, and even then that would only prove it's possible, not wether or not our own universe IS one.

Ghosts are glitch's in the simulation.. maybe xD

A Jupiter Brain is a computer that can simulate humanity.

A simulation doesn’t necessarily need to be done by a computer, I mean just for example a human can simulate things in our own minds, if we are in a simulation I’d say it’s very complicated and something we as humans would struggle to understand

Who ever likes my comment is a genius 🤣

“Sir, do you still want me to cancel the appointment for your butthole flaps?” “No, no. Move it up, actually”. 🥰🤘🏻

so we are a battery for a battery for a battery for a battery for a car.

The question "there are aliens" implies there's not infinite time. "Are" is a present. Aliens have to exist now. Which given the age of the universe and the lifespan of civilizations make it very unlikely.

Our brains aren't simulating reality just interpreting it based on data fed to it by our senses. Just accurately simulating how light would interact within a room with no moving parts is a gargantuan task that we can not do in real time using computers(ray tracing like in games is a rough approximation of how light would behave and is nowhere near a photon accurate simulation). Now we can consider things like what interactions a photon had before reaching our eye using higher level abstract thought, but our brains themselves have zero consideration of anything but the present, they are purely reactional. Meaning our brain doesn't comprehend or even consider the path a photon took before bouncing off of something and reaching your eye. The only thing our brains care about is what wavelength(color) and what is the location of the photon relative to every other photons it is interpreting.

Yes! And it seems like many factors of advancement are actually exponential! But I think it's really cool to imagine walking around with a giant skyscraper hologram projected around you, and that skyscraper being filled with books. That's what our phones are capable of.

this is just my interpretation of it

the short answer is we dont know yet there are a few things we would need to discover to blow that can of worms open in either respect true or not it has exciting implications
