I don't know about y'all but I feel kinda simulated?

Quote: The theory basically goes that any civilisation which could evolve to a 'post-human' stage would almost certainly learn to run simulations on the scale of a universe. And that given the size of reality - billions of worlds, around billions of suns - it is fairly likely that if this is possible, it has already happened.

Physicists really need to get a hobby. This is getting stupid now.
It's like Tyson, the dude has become nothing more than a professional interviewee.

They should start working on the infinite improbability drive .
I'd rather be phishing!

They might as well at this point.

It is infinitely improbable that they will do so....

I agree. Why would anyone doubt that god is a programmer?

Shirley that's been posted before? Did you notice the date - 12th December 2012.

Clearly the Matrix is affected by the Millennium Bug.
Going to have to switch you all off for a few minutes while I fix it.
But you won't notice. Your snapshot files will save state and you'll carry on where you left off.

Nice Airplane reference. Wonder how many in the audience are too young to even get it?

I do sometimes feel this is all just a computer simulation, but then the mice come along and tell me otherwise.

The Hamsters were an upgrade, after the Mice discovered Brockian Ultra-Cricket and lost interest in the Question to the Ultimate Answer.

Interesting just scanned it but will look at it later...I've actually started the project I've been putting off forever. Went and got materials yesterday and started the actual project today!

Good point!

In any simulation of an infinite universe the simulation would run into finite limits since the simulation, being smaller than the real universe, would have limits. Fortunately, our universe has no such number of smallest resolution ... so we know that we are not in a simulation ... oh.
|
|
|
|
|
But since the "real' universe is infinite, a simulation could be so big we couldn't tell the difference between really, really, really big and infinite.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

If the simulation is smart than you. it would perceive what you are doing and automatically increase the resolution only for you.
