WTF!!! Some scientist actually believe we are in the matrix.

Or is there?

There are only sporks.

Not sure where that's from (if anywhere) but it made me laugh. :laugh:

:roll:

Yeah the leap of logic here is ridiculous. Of course everything works out just right in this patch of multiverse for life. Other places were it doesn't, there are no people to think about it.

And then to go from that to, well it's almost certainly a computer simulation. Simulated my ass. EVEN if it was, it only defers the original question, how did life get started in the first place so that someone could build a computer like that.

 

[PowderBB3D]

Agreed OS. What this is is a few crackpot theorists trying to make headlines with some controversial idea. The more notoriety you get the better.

That has nothing to do with Bill Hicks, does it? Where's my beer?

Yup, it's Hicks. The intro to a Tool song called Third Eye. :beer:

I quickly dissproved their theory by attempting several matrix moves. I cannot walk properly now.

hahah, this thread has been of high humor value :thumbsup:

Perhaps there's some credence to their theory. The other night, ice cream bent my spoon. Ice cream is usually soft.... So you could say that the ice cream was a metaphor for my mind, with spoon bending ability.

Mmmm, cookies and cream flavored brain...

Theories like this always seem to skew their supporting evidence so badly in my opinion. Holy crap there was a variation in the speed of light from a quasar 6 billion years ago - we must be in the Matrix! Nevermind the fact that there is a potentially rational explaination for all of this - tools with insufficient accuracy, some kind of time-space phenomena not yet documented, or perhaps we have the wrong idea about how light travels altogether - it's the mother fvcking Matrix!

I won't say 100% this is wrong but I simply don't have the time to follow up with 99.999999.... with enough 9's on my percentage to express exactly how unlikely I find this. What is it with the human mind that finds impossibilities so captivating - why do we strive so hard to mold the facts into things we think might be "more interesting?"

I can vary the speed of light right before your very eyes. And no I'm not the one. The speed of light varies all the time.

I thought this was the case a long time ago. Think about it. We naturally think the world is continuous. But Quantum Physics suggests the world is kind of discrete.

Now, let's imagine a universe that *is* continuous. A universe with continuous time and space. Now let's imagine beings in this universe attempt to create a simulation of their world with computers.

Computers are digital. So the universe it simulates is imperfect. However, since it is a simulation of their continuous world, the beings in the digital world also naturally thinks their digital world is continuous. As the simulated digital beings explore their fake digital world they note discrepancies. They invent quantum physics to explain these discrepancies.

In other words, we are nothing more than digital simulations! That's why many of us believe in a God! That's why we inherently think the world should be continuous -- because our God lives in a continuous universe! But we noticed weird things when we try to examine our micoscopic world. As we examine our world in smaller and smaller detail, all of a sudden our "continuous" world breaks down. A computer cannot simulate a continuous universe correctly as you go further and further smaller. Floating point representation cannot represent a continuous line of points. And so, we invented something called Quantum Physics to explain these discrenpancies!

Case close.

The whole argument rests on the idea that "things are just a little too perfect". That our form of life is the only kind out there. That's pretty shallow thinking, lazy even, on the part of the cosmologist (how the hell do these people get those jobs? I'd like to be one and just sit around all day postulating). Life would have evolved from whatever matter is available.

Life would have evolved from whatever matter is available.

The story behind this bizarre suggestion began with a vexatious question: why is the universe so bio-friendly? Cosmologists have long been perplexed by the fact that the laws of nature seem to be cunningly concocted to enable life to emerge. Take the element carbon, the vital stuff that is the basis of all life. It wasn't made in the big bang that gave birth to the universe. Instead, carbon has been cooked in the innards of giant stars, which then exploded and spewed soot around the universe.

Conditions aren't friendly so life could evolve.
Life evolved because the conditions were friendly.
It was chance that probably led to these exact conditions, and suprisingly, what developed just happened to rely on those conditions.
Duh!
The universe was concocted for life? Yeah, right. Life came about because of the way the universe was concocted, IMO. Different universe, different (or no) life.

That's because they programmed you to think that way. I, for one, welcome our new multiverse creator overlords.

Lager or ale?

Being the nice Oracle that I am, I've decided on both!

Blast you, i was going to post this!

"Always that same LSD story, you've all seen it.

"Young man on acid, thought he could fly, jumped out of a building. What a tragedy."

What a dick, fvck him!

He's an idiot. If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground first? Check it out.

You don't see ducks lining up to catch elevators to fly South. They fly from the ground, you moron. Quit ruining it for everybody. He's a moron, he's dead, good. We lost a moron, fvcking celebrate.

Boy I just felt the world get lighter - we lost a moron.

Put on the Hammer album, I'm ready to dance!
