Astrophysicist, cosmologist and Nobel Prize winner George Smoot studies the cosmic microwave background radiation - the afterglow of the Big Bang. His pioneering research into deep space and time is uncovering the structure of the universe itself. He has also made a cameo appearance (as himself) in an episode of the 'Big Bang Theory.'
George Smoot looks into the farthest reaches of space to the oldest objects in the known universe: fluctuations in the remnants of creation. Using data collected from satellites such as COBE and WMAP, scanning the cosmic microwave background radiation (a relic of the heat unleashed after the Big Bang), he probes the shape of the universe. In 1992 he and his Berkeley team discovered that the universe, once thought to be smooth and uniform at the largest scale, is actually anisotropic - or varied and lumpy. Smoot continues to investigate of the structure of the universe at the University of California at Berkeley, mapping billions of galaxies and filaments of dark matter in hope of uncovering the secrets of the universe's origins.

Whether or not we are a simulation, there is no question that we live *in* a simulation created by our sensing system.

Quantum theory tells us that particles aren't materialized except when they have to because of interaction. Looks to me like the simulation algorithm is saving CPU power by only "rendering" reality when actually needed. Second thing is the finite speed of light which means that causality is never instantanous but always has a time component. This could be because the simulation as powerfull as it is still needs a bit time to calculate the outcome of every event so they had to introduce a limiting factor to how fast things can happen which is in our case the speed of light.

In the game/simulation we're in, reflection/studies show that salad leads to health and vitality, which leads to statistical increases in the chance that we will be approached by individuals of the opposite sex for replication. Ice cream consumption typically typically leads to the exact opposite. I've tried cheat codes to hack the system and all have failed. You are favored for eventual sexual encounters, my friend.

The problem is not whether you are a simulation, it's the WORD simulation. Once you define something (or everything) as a simulation, that is its reality. Everything that exists is real, including partial versions of reality such as dimensions or points of view. The multi-verse is likewise a collection of dimensions and points of view, but each one is a partial reality (a simulation) within the 'whole' universe. Reality remains unchanged. It is total, although things in it constantly change, no matter how little of it enters the consciousness of another entity. The body-mind problem, like the multiple universe problem, like the simulation problem, like the consciousness problem, like the living-dead problem, is quite elementary, my dear Watson. There is nothing that is not alive and conscious according to its nature, and that includes multiverses, simulations, animate and inanimate objects (there are no inanimate objects), whether they seem to be simulated or not. So this whole exercise is an abuse of language, which needs all the help it can get. It's not unlike the free will problem. There is no free will. The amazing thing is that science got it so wrong, and the fault lies, as always, in the definitions. Perhaps you would prefer to be a simulation of yourself when you drop a bowling ball on your foot. But that would just be nonsense, wouldn't it?

Well let me explain. There is no "real worlds" but there are "levels of reality" and reality is relative to the concious observer who watches and experience it. Now if we have simulators I strongly believe we were created to never meet them with our conciouness capabilities. They did it that way. It was on purpose. This is why Gods to me are just Mega Avatars but just that. Another quality of the same Avatars that we are. Gods are not our real simulators. They were just created like us.

The only "proofs" I know of that we are a simulation are as followed: • We sometimes forget why we go in a room • Deja Vu • We have a brain, but don't understand most of its wiring. Simulations prevent the AI from knowing it is a simulation. • Simulations will always have bugs, maybe mental disorders are the bugs • Dreams • The statement I've never heard out loud before but somehow I know --> "the body needs sleep to reboot". Computer term (this one is a stretch lol) • Time perceptions depending on activities done. • And last one, our DNA could very well be another form of binary code

Here's where I always have a problem with asserting that we're in a simulation. Logically, we can assert that we *might* be in a simulation, but we don't have any way of determining the likelihood of being in a simulation. There are in infinite range of possibilities on why we might be in a simulation, and an infinite range of possibilities of why we might not be in a simulation. We have no way of knowing if one is more likely than the other, and no test to rule out either possibility. Physics doesn't "prove" that we're in a simulation, it merely proves that it is possible that we're in a simulation.

He had no argument whatsoever. What he should have touched on was the reality of the question the Matrix made so famous, "What is real? How do you define real?". In reality you could never truly define what real is because what is real is relative to the beholder. Very similarly to how one views art, completely different from anyone else who views it, and forms their own opinions on it. Based on THAT, you could then begin to backup your argument with irregularities in quantum physics and dimensional travel, and space-time. Instead this man talked about not being ignorant to the idea, which is no argument at all.

Its the same with any computer game! The objects that game developers create inside their projects are getting filled with certain properties and depending on how complicated the object is (whether it is live emulated organism or lets say a "pencil" inside that simulation!) he has the ability of potential self-developing awareness! Imagine one day the character, created in video game starts acting weird and not how you programmed him to act by acknowledging his existence within the reality, that you made for him/her! How would you react if you were the creator of such a video game, where the characters start to act like this? You would freak out, be frightened, confused amongst other things! This is probably the same way the creator of our simulated universe react to us acknowledging being simulated!...If he acknowledging anything to ever start with! For all we know he might be just unaware of us "thinking outside the box", as we are unaware of our characters, that we create in our games and giving them purpose "thinking outside the box" in what seems to them as their "universe/reality"...

@@adamfirst3772 You don't understand anything about this theory... Let me first start by saying: believing in a creator is basically equivalent to simulation theory; someone who designed, measured, controlled etc. The basis of simulation theory is that based on the incredibly rapid development and progress we have seen in virtual environments (from 10x10 pixels 40 years ago to life-like renderings), our civilization will likely advance to a point where we are able to create our own simulated realities. The only thing stopping us from doing so right now is raw computing power (there are other things we currently lack but computing power is the most significant). Eventually, we may be collectively smart enough to build mega structures that harness the energy output of the sun, and if that isn't sufficient perhaps the energy of multiple stars or even the entire galaxy. This may be thousands to millions of years from now, and to say that humans will still exist is perhaps a large uncertainty, but it remains plausible. If we make it to this point, we will very likely have the ability to simulate basically anything. Maybe even the ability to simulate an entire universe itself with its own laws of physics, similar to how a creator may have created our universe (see how they are pretty much the exact same thing). Based on your "few questions," I can see that you don't entirely understand what a "simulation" is. It is not a video "game," where the people who created the simulation get to play as characters. It would likely at the least be our entire solar system simulated with laws of physics and such so that the simulated beings can get sunburns because the sun is a completely functioning virtual star. Also, the humans in the simulation would be fully functioning and would think for themselves and have their own simulated brains. Or as I said before, maybe the entire universe can be simulated and the "creators" are undergoing an experiment to see if life is able to form or not? There are many possibilities. I think that if humans in our reality are able to perform a simulation, they would start by simulating Earth in different ways to see how life was created and how it evolved and stuff like that. Sorry for all the reading lol.

The way I've tought about it is when u really want to do something and for some reason it does not happen. And when I was watching my son play a video game and looked at the avatar and wondered if that's really what it wanted to do and my son as he was playing was forcing it to do something else. Also pictures there's honestly something that's always fascinated me about how we are able to take pictures or a video how we capture a single moment. We can honestly go on forever when it comes to this subject, it makes my stomach hurt. 🤨🤪🥴.

This is absolutely correct. Not sure if the simple reason for this simulation is understood. Without the simulation there is nothing to explore about the existence. If you understand it on the fundamental level, awareness needs to turn from a wave into a particle in order to know itself. But the state of a wave underlies all of it and serves as a computer for this simulation.

Summary: One of the following three propositions must be true. (a) No civilization in the universe will ever be able to construct a simulated reality (it could be impossible) (b) Any civilization that could construct a simulated reality would not want to do so (ethical considerations, cost, etc.) (c) We are almost certainly living in a simulation (simulated universes would vastly outnumber non-simulated universes) Smoot spends the majority of the talk arguing that propositions (a) and (b) are unlikely, so (c) must be true. He recognizes that this conclusion does not sit well with most people, but he shows that we are naturally ill-equipped to reason about these kinds of things, so our intuition may not be trustworthy. He concludes by suggesting that physics may be a way for us to determine whether we are living in a simulated universe or not. For example, the contradictions between general relativity and quantum mechanics may not be due to our inability to come up with better theories, but rather due to the fact that there is different programming for small scale and large scale elements of our universe. He also argues that the holographic principle, entanglement, and the quantized nature of our universe might all indicate that we live in a simulation.
@SayNOtoGreens
@SayNOtoGreens 9 лет назад
A pretty good summary. I also recall reading an article (it even had its abstract posted on phys.org) where a group of theoretical phsysicists pointed out another thing: anyone wanting to simulate our physical universe would have to solve certain well-defined sets on non-linear differential equations (just to make things work in the simulation). Regardless of what specific methods they use (we know several, they may have more) those methods can be grouped into several categories in their approach. Using purely mathematical methods, authors were able to show that *if* any method from a specific (rather large and general) group was used, there will be observable effects in the universe which will behave subtly differntly in the model as opposed to the real thing. The effects they identified are unfortunately still beyond our capability to test today but surprisingly - not by far. Another generation or two of supercolliders and something like LHC Mk2 or 3 might be able to test it. Negative result won't be conclusive - it would only rule out *one* possible category of models. But imagine for a moment that it comes back positive... meaning that we would know for *certain* not only that we are a simulation, but even what kind of simulation! Wouldn't that be something...
@gnagyusa
@gnagyusa 9 лет назад
Jared Jacobsen Good summary. If we do live in a simulation, the next exciting question is: is it possible for us to interact with the *real* word? Is there an interface / "exit" somewhere? (Matrix phone booth?). Or, at least, can we somehow take advantage of the knowledge that we're a simulation: e.g. can we figure out and take advantage of the limitations of the simulation? If none of the above is accessible, then as far as we're concerned, it doesn't make much of a difference if we are a simulation or real.

@krillin6
@krillin6 9 лет назад
Jared Jacobsen I don't see why so many people think general relativity and quantum mechanics are incompatible. It is well known that similar events take place differently on different scales. The motion of a galaxy isn't the same as the motion of a planet, or as a pebble tossed into a pond. There are many orders of magnitude in the Universe, and Quantum forces simply even out on larger scales, while they have more impact on smaller scales. I don't randomly move around for no reason at my human scale, but most of my particles do that all the time. If general relativity and quantum mechanics were incompatible, you wouldn't exist. It's that simple. General relativity and quantum mechanics must be compatible for the Universe to exist as it does.
