Matrix in real life. Scientists have found another proof that we live in the Matrix. Parallel worlds as proof of the matrix
Elon Musk suggested that in the foreseeable future, people will begin to interact with electronic interfaces through neurolace - a special layer implanted directly into the cerebral cortex. The term was previously coined by writer Ian Banks.
Neurolace will allow people to process large amounts of data at great speed. One of its first prototypes was created in 2015, when American researchers successfully implanted such a system into the brains of mice.
But if people have already managed to create neurolace, then why not assume that it was invented even earlier, because, as they say, everything new is well forgotten old? Are we always in control of our own brain? Now there are already systems that can suppress certain memories or, on the contrary, awaken false memories ... And sometimes people do some absurd and even asocial acts, as if under someone's influence. We take them for crazy, why not assume that their brain is connected to an invisible computer that controls us all? Irrational behavior can be, for example, the result of a computer failure. Reality is what we are made to see it. We are all connected to machines that manipulate our minds, as in the notorious movie "The Matrix" by the Wachowski brothers.
Have you ever thought that our real world might not be real at all? What if everything around us is just an illusion invented by someone? This is what the computer simulation hypothesis says. Let's try to understand whether this theory is worth considering seriously, or is it just a figment of someone's imagination, which has no basis.
“He is your illusion”: how the simulation hypothesis appeared
It is completely wrong to think that the idea that our world is just an illusion has appeared only recently. This idea was expressed by Plato (of course, in a different form, not referring to computer simulation). In his opinion, true material value have only ideas, everything else is just a shadow. Aristotle shared similar views. He believed that ideas are embodied in material objects, therefore, everything is a simulation.
The French philosopher René Descartes in the 17th century declared that "some wicked genius, very powerful and prone to deception" made mankind think that everything around people is the real physical world, in reality, our reality is just a fantasy. this genius.
Despite the fact that the very idea of simulation theory is rooted in the distant past, the flowering of the theory occurred with the development information technologies. One of the main terms in the development of computer simulation is "virtual reality". The term itself was coined in 1989 by Jaron Lanier. Virtual reality is a kind of artificial world where the individual is immersed through the senses. Virtual reality imitates both the impact and the reactions to these impacts.
AT modern world simulation theory is increasingly becoming the subject of discussion in the context of artificial intelligence developments. In 2016, Neil deGrasse Tyson, an American astrophysicist, Ph.D. in physics, conducted debate with scientists and researchers on the simulation hypothesis. Even Elon Musk has claimed to believe in simulation theory. According to him, the possibility that our "reality" is basic is extremely insignificant, but it is even better for humanity. In September of the same 2016, Bank of America issued an appeal to customers, in which they warned that with a probability of 20-50% our reality is a matrix.

Simulation Hypothesis: How It Works
How long have you been playing computer games? It's time to refresh your memory, how in your youth you and your friends passed GTA missions. Remember: the world in a computer game exists only around the hero. As soon as objects or other characters disappear from the field of view of the virtual hero, they disappear completely. There is nothing outside the hero's space. Cars, buildings, people only appear when your character is there. In computer games, this simplification is done in order to minimize the load on the processor and optimize the game. Proponents of the simulation hypothesis see our world in much the same way.
Evidence for the theory
Swedish philosopher and Oxford University professor Nick Bostrom in his 2001 article “Are we living in the Matrix?” offered three proofs that the simulation hypothesis is indeed true. As he says, at least one of these pieces of evidence is unambiguously correct. In the first proof, the philosopher states that humanity as a biological species will disappear, “before reaching the“ posthuman ”stage” (read about this in our other). Second: any new posthuman society is unlikely to launch big number simulations that would show variants of its history. His third statement is “we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.”
In his reasoning, Bostrom gradually refutes his first two proofs, which automatically gives him the right to speak about the correctness of the third hypothesis. It is easy to refute the first statement: according to the researcher, humanity is able to develop artificial intelligence to such an extent that it can simulate the work of many living organisms. The fidelity of the second hypothesis is refuted by probability theory. The conclusions about the number of terrestrial civilizations cannot be attributed to the entire Universe. Therefore, if both the first and second judgments are wrong, then it remains to accept the latter: we are in a simulation.
In favor of the simulation theory, a study by scientists at the University of California at San Diego in 2012 also speaks. They found that all complex systems– The universe, the human brain, the Internet – have similar structure and develop in the same way.
One of the proofs of the virtuality of our world can be considered the strange behavior of photons when observing them.
The experience of Thomas Young back in 1803 turned “modern” physics on its head. In his experiment, he fired photons of light through a screen with a parallel slot. Behind him was a special projection screen to record the result. Shooting photons through one slit, the scientist found that the photons of light built a single line on this screen that was parallel to the slit. This confirmed the corpuscular theory of light, which states that light is made up of particles. When another slit was added to the experiment for the passage of photons, it was expected that there would be two parallel lines on the screen, however, despite this, a series of alternating interference fringes appeared. Thanks to this experiment, Jung confirmed another - wave - theory of light, which says that light propagates as electromagnetic wave. Both theories seem to contradict each other. It is impossible that light is both a particle and a wave at the same time.
Young's experiment, where S1 and S2 are parallel slits, a is the distance between the slits, D is the distance between the screen with slots and the projection screen, M is the screen point on which two beams fall simultaneously, Wikimedia
Later, scientists found that electrons, protons, and other parts of the atom behave strangely. For the purity of the experiment, the scientists decided to measure exactly how a photon of light passes through the slits. To do this, a measuring device was placed in front of them, which was supposed to fix the photon, and put an end to the disputes of physicists. However, scientists were in for a surprise. When the researchers observed the photon, it again exhibited the properties of a particle, and two lines appeared again on the projection screen. That is, one fact of extraneous observation of the experiment caused the particles to change their behavior, as if the photon knew that it was being observed. The observation was able to destroy the wave functions and make the photon behave like a particle. Does this remind you of anything, gamers?
Based on the foregoing, adherents of the computer simulation hypothesis compare this experiment with computer games, when the virtual world of the game “freezes” if there is no player within it. Similarly, our world, in order to optimize the relative power of the central processor, lightens the load and does not calculate the behavior of photons until they begin to be observed.
Criticism of the theory
Of course, the proofs of the simulation theory presented are criticized by other scientists who are opponents of this hypothesis. Their main emphasis is on the fact that in scientific articles where evidence of the theory is presented, there are gross logical errors: “a logical circle, autoreference (a phenomenon when a concept refers to itself), ignoring the non-random position of observers, violating causality and neglecting the control of simulation with side of the creators. According to the candidate of economic sciences, one of the founders of the coordinating council of the Russian transhumanist movement, Danila Medvedev, Bostrom's basic principles do not withstand philosophical and physical rules: for example, the rule of causality. Bostrom, contrary to all logic, allows the influence of future events on the events of the present.
Besides, our civilization is probably not of interest to simulate at all. Global Society, according to Danila Medvedev, is not as interesting as, for example, states and local communities, and from a technological point of view, modern civilization is still too primitive.
Simulating a huge number of people does not carry any merit compared to a small number. Such large civilizations are chaotic, and there is no point in simulating them.
In 2011, Craig Hogan, director of the Center for Quantum Physics at the Fermi Laboratory in the United States, decided to check whether what a person sees around is really real and is not “pixels”. To do this, he invented the "holometer". He analyzed the beams of light from the emitter built into the device and determined that the world is not a two-dimensional hologram, and it really exists.
Simulation theory in the film industry: what to watch to be in the subject
Directors are actively trying to reveal the idea of life in the matrix. It is safe to say that it was thanks to cinema that this theory reached a mass audience. Of course, the main movie about computer simulation is The Matrix. Brothers (now sisters) Wachowski quite accurately managed to depict a world where humanity from birth to death is controlled by computer simulation. Real people in The Matrix can jump into this simulation to create a "second self" and transfer their consciousness into it.
The second film to watch for those who want to learn more about computer simulation is The Thirteenth Floor. It reflects the idea that in the simulation it is possible to move from one level to a new one. The film embodies the possibility of several simulations. Our world is a simulation, but the American company has created another new one - for a separate city. Heroes move between simulations by moving their consciousness into the body shell of a real person.
In Vanilla Sky, with a young Tom Cruise, it is possible to enter a computer simulation after death. The physical body of the hero is subjected to cryogenic freezing, and the consciousness is transferred to a computer simulation. This film is a remake of the Spanish Open Your Eyes filmed in 1997.
Now it is very difficult to unequivocally answer the question: do we live in a computer matrix or not. However, such a hypothesis takes place: our Universe keeps too many mysteries and white spots. These mysteries cannot be explained even by physics. And even after their solution, new, much more complex questions appear.

Even the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who lived almost two and a half millennia ago, suggested that our world is not real. With the advent of computer technology and the acquisition of virtual reality, humanity is increasingly coming to the understanding that the world in which it lives can be a simulation of reality - a matrix, and who created it and why, we will most likely never know.
Even today, having, for example, a Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer (China), capable of performing almost one hundred quadrillion calculations per second, it is possible to simulate several million years of human history in a matter of days. But quantum computers are on the way, which will work millions of times faster than the current ones. What parameters will computers have in fifty, one hundred years?
Now imagine that a certain civilization has been developing for many billions of years, and in comparison with it, ours, which is only a few thousand, is just a newborn baby. Do you think these highly developed beings are able to create a computer or some other machine that can simulate our world? It seems that the question of whether it is possible to create a matrix has, in principle, been resolved positively (esoreiter.ru).
Who and why would create a matrix?
So, the matrix can be created; even our civilization has come close to this. But another question arises: who allowed this, since from the point of view of morality, this action is not entirely legal and justified. What if something goes wrong in this illusory world? Isn't the creator of such a matrix taking on too much responsibility?
On the other hand, it can be assumed that we live in a matrix created, so to speak, illegally - by someone who is just having fun in this way, and therefore does not even question the morality of his virtual game.
There is also such possible variant: some highly developed society ran this simulation for scientific purposes, for example, as a diagnostic test to find out what and why went wrong with the real world, and subsequently correct the situation.
The Matrix is revealed through its flaws
It can be assumed that in the case of a sufficiently high-quality simulation of reality, no one inside the matrix will even understand that this is an artificial world. But here's the problem: any program, even the most advanced, can fail.
These are the ones we constantly notice, although we cannot rationally explain them. For example, the deja vu effect, when it seems to us that we have already lived through some situation, but in principle this cannot be. The same applies to many other mysterious facts and phenomena. Say, where do people disappear without a trace, and sometimes right in front of witnesses? Why does some stranger suddenly begin to meet us several times a day? Why is one person seen in several places at the same time? .. Search the Internet: there are thousands of similar cases described there. And how many undescribed things are stored in the memory of people? ..
The matrix is based on mathematics
The world we live in can be represented as a binary code. In general, the Universe is better explained by mathematical than verbal language, for example, even our DNA was solved with the help of a computer during the implementation of the Human Genome Project.
It turns out that, in principle, on the basis of this genome, it is possible to create a virtual person. And if it is possible to build one such conditional personality, then it means the whole world (the only question is the power of the computer).
Many researchers of the matrix phenomenon assume that someone has already created such a world, and this is exactly the simulation in which we live. Using the same mathematics, scientists are trying to determine whether this is really the case. However, while they express only guesses ...
The Anthropic Principle as a Matrix Proof
Scientists have long been astonished to state that on Earth, in some incomprehensible way, ideal conditions for life have been created (the anthropic principle). Even our solar system- unique! At the same time, in the space of the Universe observable by the most powerful telescopes, there is nothing else like it.
The question arises: why did these conditions suit us so well? Maybe they are artificially created? For example, in some laboratory on a universal scale?.. Or maybe there is no Universe and this vast starry sky is also a simulation?
Further, on the other side of the model in which we are, there may not even be people, but beings whose appearance, structure, state, it is difficult for us to even imagine. And in this program there may be aliens who are well aware of the conditions of this game or even are its conductors (regulators) - remember the movie "The Matrix". That's why they're practically all-powerful in this simulation...
The anthropic principle echoes the Fermi paradox, according to which in an infinite universe there should be many worlds similar to ours. And the fact that at the same time we remain alone in the Universe leads to a sad thought: we are in the matrix, and its creator is interested in just such a scenario - “loneliness of the mind” ...
Parallel worlds as proof of the matrix
Theory of the multiverse - existence parallel universes with an infinite set of possible parameters is another indirect proof of the matrix. Judge for yourself: where did all these universes come from and what role do they play in the universe?
However, if we allow the simulation of reality, then a lot of similar worlds is quite understandable: these are numerous models with different variables that the creator of the matrix needs, say, to test one or another scenario in order to get the best result.
God created the matrix
According to this theory, our matrix was created by the Almighty, and in almost the same way as we create virtual reality in computer games: using binary code. At the same time, the Creator not only simulated the real world, but also put the concept of the Creator into the consciousness of people. Hence the numerous religions, and the belief in higher power and worship of God.
This idea has its differences in the interpretation of the Creator. Some believe that the Almighty is just a programmer, albeit of the highest level inaccessible to a person, who also has a supercomputer of a universal scale.
Others believe that God creates this Universe in some other way, for example, cosmic or - in our understanding - mystical. In this case, this world can also, albeit with a stretch, be considered a matrix, but then it is not clear what should be considered the real world? ..
What is outside the matrix?
Considering the world as a matrix, we naturally ask ourselves: what is beyond it? A supercomputer surrounded by programmers - the creators of numerous matrix programs?
However, these programmers themselves may not be real, that is, the Universe can be infinite both in width (many parallel worlds within one program) and in depth (many layers of the simulation itself). It was this theory that Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom put forward in his time, who believed that the creatures that created our matrix could be modeled themselves, and the creators of these post-humans, in turn, too - and so on ad infinitum. We see something similar in the film The Thirteenth Floor, although only two levels of simulation are shown there.
The main question remains: who created the real world, and in general, does it exist? If not, then who created all these self-nested matrices? Of course, you can argue like this ad infinitum. It's all one thing to try to understand: if this whole world was created by God, then who created God himself? According to psychologists, persistent reflection on such topics is a direct path to a psychiatric hospital ...
Matrix is a much deeper concept
Some researchers have a question: is it even worth creating all these complex matrix programs with a multibillion-dollar number of people, not to mention endless universes? Maybe everything is much simpler, because each person interacts only with a certain set of people and situations. But what if, besides the main character, that is, you, all other people are fakes? After all, it is no coincidence that with certain mental and emotional efforts, a person can radically change the world around him. It turns out that either each person has his own world, his own matrix, or is each of us the only player in the only matrix? And that one player is you! And even the simulation article you're reading right now has the code you need to develop (or play), just like everything else around you.
It is, of course, hard to believe in the latter, because in this case there are infinitely many matrices not only in depth and width, but also in the infinity of other dimensions, of which we have no idea yet. Of course, you can convince yourself that a superprogrammer is behind all this. But how then is he different from the Almighty? And who is above it? There is no answer, and can there be one? ..
10 signs that we are living in the matrix.
A few thousand years ago, Plato suggested that what we see may not be real at all. With the advent of computers, the idea has found new life, especially in last years when the films "Inception", "Dark City" and the trilogy "The Matrix" appeared. Well, long before the advent of these films, the idea that our "design" is virtual found a place in science fiction literature. Can our world really be literally simulated on a computer?
10. Life simulators.
Computers can process huge amounts of data, and some of the most productive and intensive solutions require simulation. Simulations involve the inclusion of many variables and artificial intelligence to analyze them and study the results. Some simulations are purely gaming. Some involve situations from real life such as the spread of disease. Some games are historical simulations that may be playable (such as Sid Meyer's Civilization) or simulate the growth of real society over time.
This is what simulations look like today, but computers are getting faster and more powerful. Computing power doubles periodically, and computers in 50 years may well be millions of times more powerful than they are today. Powerful computers will allow powerful simulations, especially historical ones. If computers become powerful enough, they can create a historical simulation in which self-aware beings have no idea that they are part of the program.
Do you think we are far from it? Harvard's Odyssey supercomputer can simulate 14 billion years in just a few months.
9. If someone could, he would have done.
Well, let's say it's possible to create a universe inside a computer. Would this be morally acceptable? Humans are complex beings with their own feelings and relationships. Suddenly, at some point in the creation of a fake world of people, something goes wrong? Will the responsibility for the universe fall on the shoulders of the creator, will he not take on an unbearable burden?
Maybe. But what does it matter? For some people, even the very idea of modeling will be tempting. And even if historical simulations were illegal, nothing would stop one being from taking over and creating our reality. It would take just one person who is no more thoughtful than any The Sims player starting a new game.
People, too, may have good reasons for creating such simulations, other than entertainment. Humanity may face death and force scientists to create a massive diagnostic test for our world. Simulation can help them figure out what went wrong with the real world and how to fix it.
8. Obvious flaws.
If the model is of sufficient quality, no one inside will understand that this is a simulation at all. If you grew a brain in a jar and made it respond to stimuli, it wouldn't know what was in the jar. He would consider himself a living, breathing and active person.
But even simulations can have flaws, right? Didn't you yourself notice some shortcomings, "failures in the matrix"?
Perhaps we see such disruptions in everyday life. The Matrix offers an example of deja vu - when something seems inexplicably familiar. Modeling can glitch like a scratched disc. Supernatural elements, ghosts and miracles can also be glitches. According to modeling theory, people do observe these phenomena, but this is due to errors in the code.
There are tons of such testimonies on the Internet, and although 99 percent of them are nonsense, some recommend keeping your eyes and mind open, and perhaps something will be revealed. After all, it's just a theory.
7. Mathematics is at the core of our lives.
Everything in the universe can be calculated in some way. Even life is quantified. The Human Genome Project, which calculated the sequence of the chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, was resolved by computers. All the mysteries of the universe are solved with the help of mathematics. Our universe is better explained in the language of mathematics than in words.
If everything is mathematics, everything can be broken down into binary code. It turns out that if computers and data reach certain heights, a functional person can be recreated based on the genome inside the computer? And if you build one such personality, why not create a whole world?
Scientists suggest that someone may have already done this and created our world. To determine if we are really living in a simulation, researchers are doing serious research, studying the mathematics that make up our universe.
6. Anthropic principle.
The existence of human beings is most amazing. To start life on Earth, we need everything to be in order. We are at a great distance from the Sun, the atmosphere suits us, gravity is quite strong. And while in theory there may be many other planets with such conditions, life seems even more amazing when you look beyond the planet. If any of the cosmic factors like dark energy were a little stronger, life might not exist either here or anywhere else in the universe.
The Anthropic Principle asks the question: “Why? Why do these conditions suit us so well?
One explanation is that the conditions were deliberately set to give us life. Each suitable factor was set to a fixed state in some laboratory of universal scales. The factors connected to the universe and the simulation began. Therefore, we exist, and our individual planet is developing as it is now.
The obvious consequence is that there may not be people on the other side of the model at all. Other creatures that hide their presence and play their space "sims". Perhaps the alien life is quite aware of how the program works, and it is not difficult for them to become invisible to us.
5. Parallel universes.
The theory of parallel worlds, or multiverse, assumes an infinite number of universes with an infinite set of parameters. Imagine the floors of an apartment building. The universes make up the multiverse in the same way that floors make up a building, they have a common structure, but they differ from each other. Jorge Luis Borges compared the multiverse to a library. The library contains an endless number of books, some may differ by a letter, and some hold incredible stories.
Such a theory introduces some confusion into our understanding of life. But if there really are many universes, where did they come from? Why are there so many? How?
If we are in a simulation, multiple universes are multiple simulations running at the same time. Each simulation has its own set of variables, and this is no coincidence. The model builder includes different variables to test different scenarios and observe different results.
4. Fermi paradox.
Our planet is one of many capable of supporting life, and our Sun is quite young relative to the entire universe. Obviously, life must be everywhere, both on planets where life began to develop simultaneously with ours, and on those that originated earlier.
Moreover, people dared to go into space, so other civilizations should have made such an attempt? There are billions of galaxies that are billions of years older than ours, so at least one must have been a "traveling frog." Since the Earth has all the conditions for life, it means that our planet in general could become a target for colonization at some point.
However, we have not found any traces, hints or smells of other intelligent life in the universe. Fermi's paradox is simple: "Where is everyone?".
Modeling theory can give several answers. If life should be everywhere but only exists on Earth, we are in a simulation. Whoever's in charge of modeling just decided to watch people act alone.
The multiverse theory says that life exists on other planets - in most models of universes. We, for example, live in a calm simulation, such a loner in the universe. Returning to the anthropic principle, we can say that the universe was created only for us.
Another theory, the planetarium hypothesis, offers another possible answer. The simulation assumes a mass of inhabited planets, each of which imagines that it is the only one in the Universe that is so inhabited. It turns out that the purpose of such a simulation is to grow the ego of a separate civilization and see what happens.
3. God is a programmer.
People have been discussing the idea of a creator-god who created our world for a long time. Some imagine a particular god as a bearded man sitting in the clouds, but in modeling theory, a god or someone else could be an ordinary programmer pressing buttons on a keyboard.
As we have seen, a programmer can create a world based on simple binary code. The only question is why he programs people to serve his creator, which is what most religions say.
This may be intentional or unintentional. Perhaps the programmer wants us to know that he or she exists and has written the code to give us an innate sense that everything was created. Perhaps he did not do this and did not want to, but intuitively we assume the existence of a creator.
The idea of god as a programmer develops in two ways. First, the code began to live, let everything develop and the simulation brought us to where we are today. Second, literal creationism is to blame. According to the Bible, God created the world and life in seven days, but in our case, he used a computer, not cosmic forces.
2. Outside the universe.
What is outside the universe? According to simulation theory, the answer would be a supercomputer surrounded by advanced beings. But even crazier things are possible.
Those who run the models can be just as fake as we are. There can be multiple layers in a simulation. As Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom suggests, “The post-humans who designed our simulation may be themselves simulated, and their creators, in turn, may be. There can be many levels of reality, and their number can increase over time.”
Imagine that you sat down to play The Sims and played until your Sims created their own game. Their "sims" have repeated this process, and you are actually part of an even larger simulation.
The question remains: who created real world? This idea is so far from our life that it seems impossible to talk about this topic. But if modeling theory can at least explain the limited size of our universe and understand what lies beyond it... it good start in understanding the nature of existence.
1. Fake people make the simulation easier.
Even as computers become more powerful, the universe may be too complex to fit in one of them. One in seven billion people is currently sophisticated enough to rival any possible computer imagination. And we represent an infinitesimal part of a vast universe that contains billions of galaxies. It will be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to take many variables into account.
But the world being modeled doesn't have to be as complex as it seems. To be convincing, the model will need a few detailed indicators and a lot of barely delineated secondary players. Imagine one of the games in the GTA series. It stores hundreds of people, but you only interact with a few. Life can be like this. You, your loved ones and relatives exist, but all those you meet on the street may not be real. They may have few thoughts and lack of emotion. They are like that “woman in a red dress”, metonymy, image, sketch.
Let's take the video game analogy into account. These games contain huge worlds, but only your current location at this moment in time matters, the action takes place in it. Reality can follow the same scenario. Areas outside the gaze can be stored in memory and only appear when needed. Enormous savings in computing power. What about remote areas that you never visit, such as in other galaxies? In the simulation, they may not run at all. They need compelling images in case they want to look at them.
Okay, people on the streets or distant stars are one thing. But you have no proof that you exist, at least not in the way you present yourself. We believe that the past happened because we have memories and because we have photographs and books. But what if it's all just written code? What if your life is updated every time you blink?
The most interesting thing is that it is impossible to prove or disprove.
Arguments and facts for the fact that the world is a simulation for us and we live in a matrix. Have you ever thought about the fact that our world can be inside some kind of supercomputer that models hundreds of billions of planets, Universes, intelligent races, as well as the behavior of beings, Gods and familiar things. It models consciousness and feelings, habits and friends. Everything.
At first, this may seem like nonsense, and as one of the frequent commentators on my channel said, “for this they used to burn at the stake and such thoughts were considered heresy.” But is this heresy? And for whom? For people who do not want to consider alternative theories of our world, this can be complete nonsense! They are content to be the center of the mega-world, they shake their uniqueness like a huge ingot of gold, posing as natives from ancient times who are at an early stage of their development.
I will say this, if you read some of the works of Plato, you will understand that the theory of the unreality of the world is not new. Mankind did not begin to think about it when Hollywood introduced the world to the Matrix trilogy and other films based on the idea of unreality and programming of the world. Filmmakers often use popular ideas for their films. But to their credit, they were able to raise the discussion of the Matrix to a new level, and many scientists began to look for evidence on Earth. And then I will give you "Revelations", which may make you take a fresh look at the theory of the unreality of the world.
1. Modern computers are capable of creating simulations and simulations of various events. Even your phone is capable of more than your brain. It processes hundreds or thousands of operations per second. In a few decades, computers will be so powerful that they will create simulations of events using sentient beings that have reason and intelligence and they will not understand that they are in a simulation. Do you doubt it?
2. No matter how perfect the simulation program is, it may contain errors that require correction. Perhaps there is no such person who has not experienced the feeling that these events have already occurred and seem to be repeated. Oh yes, deja vu! Ghosts, miracles and other unknown in the world is a software error and many people understand that some kind of nonsense is happening, but they are afraid to express their opinion.
3. Our entire Universe consists of numbers, but what are computer programs made of? Are you catching up? Even the names of God and Lucifer have numbers. Numbers play a key role in our lives. Mathematics underlies the binary code with which programs are written and the same simulation and modeling is based on this. If people could create a simulation, then why couldn't others? Do you still doubt and think I'm a liar? We continue!
4. Why is our planet a planet with almost ideal conditions for life? Why not Venus or Mars, why people on Earth? We are far from the Sun, the Earth's magnetic field protects us from radiation, we have water and food, a temperate climate and many other things, as if artificially created for an ideal life. Isn't it too perfect? The answer lies on the surface. These conditions are created in the simulation.
5. Theory about parallel worlds and multi-universes. It is logical that for their simulations and modeling, our creators need to test various options. It's like updating programs, including on your gadgets. Everywhere there are bugs that need to be fixed and released new version updates. Billions of simulation options help with this.
6. Earth is in near perfect conditions! But logically, in the entire Universe there are billions of planets that are both younger and older than ours. But for some reason, humanity has not found any intelligent beings in the universe, which is rather strange, given the scope of outer space. In this case, several theories are born about why we have not made contact with other civilizations. According to the first version of modeling or simulation, we were specially settled away from everyone in order to observe how we would cope with the task alone. Will we be able to get to other inhabited planets or not? And here the theory of multi-universes is connected, where there are a different number of inhabited planets. It is possible that in ours we are alone, and in other Universes a different number of inhabited planets. There may be those in which there are no signs of life at all, why not? Well, the last theory may be that we were programmed to consider ourselves the only ones in the entire universe to see what happens. Difficult to understand? In my opinion, no, everything is as simple as the world itself :-)
7. Let's look at how God can fit into the whole idea of biomass, which is food for worms :-) Why does God have to be something, hovering in the clouds, surrounded by angels? Isn't a programmer the same Creator who is able to create worlds and their inhabitants? Does the programmer want us to be his slaves and serve him? As we know from the example of people, we are all different. Some are disinterested and do not need too much attention, others want to enslave the world and make everyone their subjects. Or maybe he didn’t want to be known about him at all and his creations themselves guessed about his existence and came up with a religion in which his desires were allegedly prescribed. And what about the idea of creating the world in 7 days. I think that there is no need to explain anything at all. Programmers are workaholics, but sometimes they still take a break from their numbers.
8. What is at the edge of the universe? And why is it growing? As many people know, games are complemented by various modifications, levels, updates and the game can grow from small to huge. But what if our programmers are constantly working on our universe, improving and increasing it in size?
9. And what if the simulation is multi-level and our creators are another simulation, and so on ad infinitum. This is similar to the idea of artificial intelligence, which trains itself and creates its own kind. Do you know that people are working on a similar program now? Does it sound fantastic now? But if this is an endless simulation, then where are the true Creators, the Originals, who created this whole big game?
10. What if everyone distant galaxies in our Universe are empty and made to give us the illusion of something big? And suddenly it's just scenery, like in Hollywood movies. The outside is beautiful, but the inside of the planet can be just a binary code, and so we need to get to the most extreme corners of the universe to check it out. But by this point, our Creators can create an update and run it into our simulation, or simply erase our memory.
