What is your opinion on the growing hypothesis that we may all be living inside of a super computer? I've seen that some of the leading minds in science have started leaning towards this idea and have begun primitive testing.
Personally, it fascinates me because if something like that were true, and science could actually prove that we were all created by an evolved being inside of a complex set of code, for the first time in human history, science and religion would blend together as one.

my opinion is, if as described, that it is one of the most deplorable ideas ever conceived. to postulate that the universe is some form of computer simulation is absurd in the utmost respect. humans invented the device that is used to run reality? so essentially humans are contingent upon the device that they invented which is contingent upon them. sounds like a circle jerk of stupid. |
With all due respect, that is some extremely narrow minded thinking. If Einstein had thought that way... goodness. It sounds to me that you're letting your beliefs or lack thereof, get in the way. In science, nothing is certain until proven otherwise. You can believe something but that doesn't make it so and visa versa.
I believe in the pursuit of truth and knowledge. If that leads us to a creator, then so be it. If it lead us towards the opposite, so be it as well.

? did you even read my comment? your response has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. put down the beer and think a little bit about what I said please. humans invented computers and software. so, how is it possible that reality is a computer simulation? it's barking mad. you clearly do not know much about einstein, his dogmatic fealty to hard determinism hindered his progress when he wasted countless time attempting to resolve heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
I'm open to anything that is justified, you seem to be open to absurdities. I have no respect for that, nor would I care for that person's respect. |
It's the theory that there are universes within universes. The idea that a vastly more advanced and evolved life form created life within a computer, and we are that life. Sort of like The Sims or Spore or... other "God simulators" but obviously much more advanced. Naturally, the life evolves within the code and ends up developing their own computers and then the cycle continues.
It's not crazy when you think about it and some of the best minds in science are starting to go in that direction (look it up).
