We DEFINITELY live in a virtual-reality universe. Time slows down near black holes, this is to preserve the processing power needed to keep this virtual-reality universe in existence. Furthermore, quantum physics has proven that things don't exist in the way that we observe them UNTIL we observe them. So in other words, EVERYTHING is energetic wave-form information UNTIL we observe it. This is so that this universe doesn't have to be rendered every second for every observer (human or otherwise). It preserves processing power.

In order to observe something it doesnt mean just opening your eye. To observe these things that reportedly change under observation - you have to INTERACT with it. You have to fire particles at it - thus changing the result.

Common misunderstanding.

I own the book The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot and I have read all of it. The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot is my favourite book of all time. What we call 'reality' is holographic in nature, so we are in fact smaller versions of the whole (which you can call 'God', if you want). Every part of the whole contains the whole and, to be more accurate, IS the whole. And just as a drop of water contains the same qualities as an entire ocean of water, we likewise contain all that exists within us - but merely on a smaller scale.

"To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour." - William Blake

Not only did our ancestors know about the holographic nature of 'reality', but there is also scientific evidence for the holographic nature of 'reality'.

"That is whole, this is whole.
From that wholeness, this wholeness comes.
Add the whole to the whole and the whole still remains.
Remove the whole from the whole and the whole still remains.
The whole remains the whole." - Isha Upanishad

"Know the world is a mirror from head to foot,
In every atom a hundred blazing suns.
If you cleave the heart of one drop of water,
A hundred pure oceans emerge from it.
If you examine closely each grain of sand,
A thousand Adams may be seen in it.
In its members a gnat is like an elephant;
In its qualities a drop of rain is like the Nile.
The heart of a barley-corn equals a hundred harvests,
A world dwells in the heart of a millet seed.
In the wing of a gnat is the ocean of life,
In the pupil of the eye a heaven;
What though the grain of the heart be small,
It is a station for the Lord of both worlds to dwell therein." - Mahmud Shabstari

>This is so that this universe doesn't have to be rendered every second for every observer (human or otherwise). It preserves processing power.

Keeping perfect information about a quantum state takes much more memory than a classical state. Take a bit and it's quantum variation as the most simple example. Classical bit has only two possible values and so you only need a bit to store it. Quantum bit has infinitely many possible states needing infinite classical memory to store general quantum bit perfectly. Quantum mechanics is in no way nature's way to compress information.

I'm going to tell you about a concept that I call 'conspiracy misdirection'. It's basically a type of misinformation/disinformation. Conspiracy misdirection is what happens when a conspiracy theory is propagated that is considered to be the truth about whatever that conspiracy theory is about, but actually is NOT the truth and hides an even GREATER conspiracy that is TRUE (and thus NOT a 'theory'). One of the MAJOR techniques that intelligence agencies such as the CIA, MI5, the Mossad, etc. use to deceive us is conspiracy misdirection, which is to make certain conspiracy theories popular in mainstream society that are used to push us further away from the truth. I'll give you an example: They'll tell us that the Apollo 11 Moon landing never happened, although I think that what most likely happened is that the Apollo 11 Moon landing not only happened, but they found more than they bargained for on the Moon like artifacts and ruins which CONFIRM that we are NOT alone in the universe. Eventually, we might have even been warned to never come back - which might explain why we've never gone back to the Moon since 1972. Even if we weren't warned to never return to the Moon, we DID land on the Moon and found WORKS OF INTELLIGENCE on it. I am UTTERLY CONVINCED that people on the NASA payroll are promoting the 'Moon hoax' conspiracy theory to push people further from the possibility that beings (possibly even ancient HUMAN beings) landed on the Moon a long time ago and built stuff there. The 'Moon hoax' theory might have even been CREATED by NASA employees. COME ON people, THINK. What do you think is the more paradigm-shattering secret?: The possibility that we DIDN'T land on the Moon or the possibility that we DID land on the Moon and found artificial stuff there? OBVIOUSLY it's the second possibility. (end of part 1)
>>
>>75865658

(start of part 2) You see, the REAL reason why the second possibility is being hidden from us is NOT because a loving government wants to prevent mass panic (that's just the cover story), but because they want to prevent us from asking 'too many' questions. If it were confirmed that we DID land on the Moon and found artificial stuff there but were lied to about such a historic discovery, then people (and LOTS of them) WOULD ask more questions about what else they've been lied to about. They'd say "Well, they lied to us about that, so what ELSE have they lied to us about? The origin and history of the human species? The pharmaceutical industry? Free energy? The banking industry?" It opens the door to EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. And THAT'S why the 'Moon hoax' theory is FIERCELY promoted, while most people have almost NEVER heard of that second possibility (and, more worryingly, probably haven't even THOUGHT ABOUT IT). Another example of conspiracy misdirection is the sudden popularity of the Flat Earth theory. The sudden popularity of the Flat Earth theory is a CIA psyop designed to divide and distract people from the TRUE nature of Earth, which is that Earth is HOLLOW. Earth's crust is about 800 miles thick and there is a 'sun' at Earth's centre (which is actually a nuclear fission reactor) which is about 650 miles in diameter and the distance between a dweller in the Inner Earth world and their inner central 'sun' is only about 2,900 miles. (end of part 2)
>>
>>75865685

(start of part 3) Okay, this is a shorter version of what conspiracy misdirection is for people that don't like reading lots of text: Conspiracy misdirection is when a false conspiracy theory is used to hide a true conspiracy theory that has even more far-reaching implications than the false conspiracy theory.

Not only is it hollow, but the entrance to the hollow earth is in Antarctica.

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/antarctica/antartica11.htm

"Dönitz (16 September 1891 b 24 December 1980) had become Commander of the German Kriegsmarine (Navy), on 31 January 1943 and he led the German U-Boat fleet until the end of the Second World War. He also has the distinction of briefly becoming head of the German state for 20 days after Hitler’s death until his own capture by the Allies on 23 May 1945. His contribution to the mystery of post-war Antarctic activity came in a statement he made in 1943 when he declared that a substantial portion of the German submarine fleet had rebuilt “in another part of the world a Shangri-La land... an impregnable fortress.”"

Many Nazis fled there after the war, which led to the hastily assembled 'Operation Highjump,' a failed mix between expedition and invasion of the interior earth by the USA. This can be read about in the above link.

Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, the Flat Earth conspiracy theory is being used to hide the Hollow Earth theory so that mainstream plebs never think about it. I know that the Flat Earth theory is a misdirection, because the Flat Earth theory become VERY popular starting from sometime last year OUT OF NOWHERE. There has NEVER been ANY convincing evidence of the Flat Earth theory (even when it suddenly become popular last year). Earth is hollow. As someone who has intensely researched the Hollow Earth theory for almost a decade, there is a VAST amount of evidence for the Hollow Earth theory - scientific evidence, mathematical evidence and even evidence from many ancient myths in many different parts of the world in many different periods of time throughout human history. Consider this: How come the Hollow Earth theory almost NEVER gets mentioned as an alternative to the Round Earth 'theory'? The mainstream media is pushing the Round Earth vs. Flat Earth narrative and pretty much NEVER mentioning the Hollow Earth theory. Does that not seem suspicious to you?

You are correct. We do live in a holographic universe. The universe is a just an illusion. We cannot go out into space due to the firmament (van allen belt). Our souls are trapped in this flat earth dome. The only way to escape is to avoid the tunnel of light after death. If you go into the light, your memory is erased and you are reborn. Reincarnation is real. All religions are false. The true creator is the mother goddess of Orion. Enter the void. Kill the light.

I don't think that the Inner Earth inhabitants seek to wage war, my understanding is that they are very peaceful but, at the same time, they will NEVER take shit from us. The Inner Earth inhabitants are most likely the pilots of the UFOs that have flown over military bases containing nuclear weapons only for those nuclear weapons to be disabled shortly afterward. Extraterrestrials have no vested interest in disabling our nuclear weapons, but the Inner Earth inhabitants DO because it's THEIR PLANET TOO.

Holy fuck, how many times does it need to be explained to you dickheads.

A computer simulated universe CAN NOT PHYSICALLY EXIST.

The square root of 2 literally proves this.

The square root of 2 can not be calculated to any finite number of decimal places, humans can calculate it indefinitely. for the universe to be a simulation, the square root of 2 would not be able to exist, since there can not exist an infinite amount of bytes able to represent Sqrt 2 to infinite decimal places, it's just not possible.

Because then we would be able to see the elephant carrying it. Anyway, the virtual reality idea that OP mentioned would make sense to some extent.

For example if we are in a virtual reality, then what physics does the world where the computer simulating everything follow?

Master's comes with PhD. sorry weedman, have to take my word for it.

hollow earth is top tier pants on head crazy. like the diagram posted earlier has so many flaws.
-why doesnt the nuclear reactor exert crazy amounts of pressure on the interior of the earth?
-why don't we see radiation escaping from these 'holes' at the poles?
-why don't we notice an incredible heat source only 5000km or so beneath our feet?
-how could people live on the inside of the surface when there is clearly a center of mass at the Earth's center? Do they posses anti-gravity tech?

>We DEFINITELY live in a virtual-reality universe
Even if his arguments were true, that wouldn't mean we DEFINITELY live in a virtual-reality universe.
He's simply applying the same logic that religious people apply. He makes a conclusion, with very limited information.

It is an option that can't be directly dismissed, but it's just one of many hypothesis.

One argument for the simulation theory is that we will eventually have the processing power necessary to create simulated universes, and if a civilization is interested in creating simulated realitities, the number of simulated people would far exceed the number of real individuals. In other words, most conscious beings in whatever you call reality, would be simulated people, and not real people.

An argument against the theory is that each simulated universe would reach a point where they created their own simulated universes, which in the end would mean that the exponential processing power required to create universes within universes, would shut down the entire system. This means that the simulation would end when we started to make our own simulations.

Another argument is that we're a kind of virtual reality simulation of the past for an advanced civilization, and that we're essentially avatars. This would mean that every person actually exists in the real world millions of years into the future (which is the actual present), almost like in The Matrix.

Some also believe we're going to be the originators, and if our civilization survives long enough, we're going to be the first people to create simulations.

I don't actually believe any of this, but those are some of the current theories.

This is where Musk and that other whathisface that often gets posted on /pol/ are wrong, or rather not even wrong. It's true that from all those meme quantum experiments it logically follows that our world is not material in its nature, but nothing out there outside of a few stretched analogies points at simulated reality. The worst part of all this is that you really can't disprove it either because for us living inside the simulation it would be impossible to distinguish a simulation from any other reality.
>>
>>75868758
no, they are still running as part of the simulation, so from the virtual entities perspective everything is normal as ever, they just aren't being actively rendered for the observers convenience, which is all of us right now. while we think all is normal, we're just being fed data on what we are supposed to be sensing since us fabricated entities are in all likely hood not being observed, in fact the majority of human entities will never actually be rendered for the observers in their entire lifetimes.

Square root 2.

Sqrt 2 is irrational, a human can calculate the square root of 2 to as many decimal places as he wants, given an infinite amount of time and infinite space to right it, but in finite conditions, the sqrt 2 can not be calculated to a final decimal place since it doesn't exist(we know this from proof of irrationality). A computer with finite memory could only represent the sqrt 2 to however many decimal places the memory can hold(eg, 10 million bytes = 10 million decimal places, or something of the sort).

The only condition where the sqrt 2 can exist in a computer simulation is if it had infinite time and memory.

As Morpheus himself said in the first Matrix movie: "What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

What we need is to raise our level of consciousness, both individually and collectively. If even one person raises his or her level of consciousness, it has a ripple effect that benefits EVERYONE ELSE, even if they don't believe any of this stuff - and this is because 'reality' itself is HOLOGRAPHIC in nature. One of the ways that they have manipulated us so deeply for so long is by suppressing our sense of the possible. What we call 'reality' is COMPLETELY ILLUSORY and thus MALLEABLE - and they KNOW THIS, while most other people do NOT. EVERYTHING IS ILLUSORY, EXCEPT CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF. NOTHING is impossible in a universe that is ILLUSORY to begin with. We have the power to transform this prison illusion into a PARADISE ILLUSION, so let's USE that power.

In the ancient Sanskrit language of India, the word 'siddhi' means 'perfection'. In its most common usage, the word 'siddhi' refers to an ability that is a natural and inherent faculty of our true identities as eternally alive souls. The soul is smaller than an atom and larger than the universe. The soul is infinitely small and infinitely large. The soul is ALL-PERFECT AND EVER-PERFECT. The soul is the storehouse of ALL ENERGY, ALL POWER AND ALL STRENGTH. The soul is PURE CONSCIOUSNESS. The soul possesses ALL siddhis and there are an INFINITE number of siddhis. Among all of these siddhis, there are considered to be eight major siddhis. Siddhis can be awakened through a variety of methods. In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras IV.1, it is stated:

"Siddhis may be attained through birth, the use of herbs, incantations, self-discipline or samadhi."

Here is a list of the eight major siddhis (in no particular order):

Laghima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as light as you want.

Garima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as heavy as you want.

Mahima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as large as you want.

Anima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as small as you want.

Prapti siddhi: Having unrestricted access to any and/or all places.

Prakamya siddhi: Fulfillment of whatever you desire.

Isitva siddhi: Control over any and/or all of the laws of nature.

Vasitva siddhi: Being able to control any and/or all beings.

Meme magic is real because what we call 'reality' is holographic in nature. The late scientist Emoto used to put written messages next to containers of water, then freeze the water and examine the crystals that had been formed using microscopic photography. The water that had been placed next to positive messages like "I love you." turned into visually pleasing crystal formations, while the water that had been placed next to negative messages like "You make me sick, I want to kill you." turned into irregular crystal formations. In the ancient Indian poem 'Ramayana', a bridge to Lanka is being built with stones for Rama by an army of monkey-like humanoid beings. However, the stones don't stick together to form a continuous structure. Hanuman, Rama's devotee, suggests that Rama's name be written onto the stones so that they stick together. This is done and the stones then stick together to form the bridge that they want to build. In both Emoto's experiments and that story from Ramayana, it's not the mere act of writing that accomplishes those seemingly miraculous results but the VIBRATING ENERGY FIELDS OF INFORMATION of what was written. One of the COMPLETELY FALSE assumptions of modern mainstream science is that our internal world (i.e. our thoughts, our emotions and our intentions) has NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER on our external world. But the truth is that there is NO BOUNDARY between our 'internal world' and our 'external world'. They're BOTH movies that originate from the SAME projector room.

The base state of all things is energetic wave-form information, which has been confirmed by quantum physics. This is why everything can be perceived in an infinite number of different ways, because nothing can exist without being perceived and to be perceived, there must be a perceiver. When you see a rose as being red, a bee sees that same rose in shades of ultra-violet and a bat perceives that same rose as vibrations of sound. It all depends on the way that the information is 'read' (so to speak).

"If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is - infinite." - William Blake

you're wrong.
measurements can change what happened in the past. for example, take a particle traveling in a random direction, with sensors at 0 degrees and 120 degrees. the chance of both censors being triggered is 1/8 and not 1/6 like the geometry predicts because measurement determines the past and not the other way around. see bell inequalities, quantum eraser experiments, etc.

I don't see what part of my post you aren't understanding.

The sqrt of 2 DOESN'T exist is a finite form, this has already been proven. Since the sqrt of 2 can be calculated to infinite decimal places, clearly the only way it can actually exist in a simulation is if the computer parenting it has infinite memory and time.

What you said here >>75869536
Doesn't apply, since a human can calculate pi to 15 billion decimal places +1, the fact that you, given infinite time and room to write, can show pi or sqrt 2 or any irrational number to ∞ decimal places shows that a computer simulating the universe CAN NOT HAVE FINITE MEMORY.

Either the computer simulating the universe has infinite memory(no reason to even consider this) or this isn't a simulation.

>you see, the REAL reason why the second possibility is being hidden from us is NOT because a loving government wants to prevent mass panic (that's just the cover story), but because they want to prevent us from asking 'too many' questions. If it were confirmed that we DID land on the Moon and found artificial stuff there but were lied to about such a historic discovery, then people (and LOTS of them) WOULD ask more questions about what else they've been lied to about.

This doesn't cover why they lied originally.

We're not ever going to calculate those numbers to infinity (since it's impossible) so there's no reason for the simulation to do it either. I really don't see the problem here. The simulation wouldn't have to contain the whole set, it would only have to calculate it up to what *we* are calculating it up to (not infinity).

>>75869834
Because the way computers work is that everything has an answer.

We accept that math exists and effects the universe. So it cannot be arbitrarily made up on the spot by a machine.

Thus, it has to be hardcoded somewhere. Which is impossible.

>The only way Bostrom's simulation argument works is if you assume that civilisations will eventually create relatively accurate ANCESTOR simulations.

Yes, and considering we live in a society that is clearly less advanced than one that could create an ancestor simulation, that means that if we're living in a simulation, it would most likely be an ancestor simulation.

Our reality probably being a complex simulation is pretty obvious to anyone that has worked on even a primitive simulation.

>there's no reason for anybody to do it therefore it doesn't apply

No, this is not an argument, a human given infinite time and space to write could calculate the next decimal place of sqrt 2 INDEFINITELY, FOREVER. NEVER ENDING. A computer with finite memory CAN NOT DO THIS.

I'm not speaking a different language here am I? This is NOT a difficult concept to understand.

Why would it most likely be an ancestor simulation?

An ancestor simulation is a simulation by a civilisation of its ancestors.

We could be any other type of simulation, like an experiment of a weird alien race.

what are you even rambling about?
>The square root of 2 can not be calculated to any finite number of decimal places
uh, yes it can. You can get an arbitrarily close approximation in finite time.

>humans can calculate it indefinitely
you mean we can calculate it with more and more precision? If so, you just contradicted your previous statement.

> for the universe to be a simulation, the square root of 2 would not be able to exist, since there can not exist an infinite amount of bytes able to represent Sqrt 2 to infinite decimal places, it's just not possible.

I see what you're getting at. But there's no need for the value of irrational numbers to be stored explicitly by the simulated universe. The universe could just be churning out more digits by using approximation algorithms, for instance.

Similarly, you might say that fractals are evidence that the universe isn't a simulation. But the universe can just be calculating as many iterations as we need (which is a finite number).

It's all about procedural generation.

Ur dum

Let me pop that fucking bubble of delusion you guys live in

In order to understand how ridiculous this theory sounds, you gotta read the upcoming wall of text.

A human mind doesn't understand what a 'billion years' is. You and I have been on this planet tops 30 years. When you compare that to 1.000.000.000, it's nada.

Everything makes sense so far, except for the origin of the Big Bang, if you have enough information. You clearly do not understand how much the human kind knows about the existence.

>1.

Back in the 1850s, a couple of scientists figured there has to be a sound still echoing in the universe if there was a Big Bang. Due to the lack of technology, it remained merely a theory.

If you fastforward to the 1950s when the first satelite that was capable of listening to sounds from space was constructed, you'll find the answer to the previous theory.
When it was first set, there was a constant hissing sound coming from the machine. The machine doctors though it was just bad wires, but after replacing them, the sound was still there.
After weeks of pondering why the machine is broken they remembered the theory from their dead colleagues of the 1850s. The hissing sound was the Big Bang's echo.

>2.

The five most common elements from the universe are also the five most common elements in life on Earth. (Read: the Theory of Evolution by Darwin).

>3. The creation of planets
>4. The free will

You can't seriously be this deluded to think we're not real.
We are, but we're irrelevant. Look up at the sky at night, consider your size and your influence on everything that exists. Everything can be explained with proper information about laws of physics and nature. Everything makes sense once you understand that life as it is was just chemical chance. The probability of which being close to zero, but not zero.

Irrational numbers could exist in a simulation as lazy evaluation (evaluate as many decimals as needed).

So the idea is a large object like the earth is made of a lot of information and so it runs that information slower. Because of that time slows around mass which we observe as the stretching of space time causing the phenomena of gravity? Interesting.

>>75871035

You're talking about a complete hypothetical, not what would actually exist inside the simulation. There is no human that calculates square root of 2 to infinity so it's not even a necessary consideration.

If the simulation did, for whatever reason, allow a human to live forever and use all its time to calculate square root of 2, at some point the simulation might run out of memory. But just because that hasn't happened is no reason to assume it *can't* happen.

But all of this is kind of redundant, because you're applying the concept of infinity to a system that is de facto finite. The simulation doesn't have infinite memory, so it doesn't have infinitely calculating humans either. Get it?

Bruv you're embarrassing yourself. It's like in Haskell where you can work on infinite lists. Computers are quite capable of working with infinite numbers by evaluating as needed.
