OK it doesnt neccesarily mean the world is fake. Think what every holy book sais. The bible and what not. You dont have to think of it as God is a computer programer but mor eon the lines of there realy is another dimmension. Outside the universe there is a god. There is a soul there is a heaven and hell. Im not trying to get all preachy on you people but it does make sence.

Imagine you went back in time 1000 years ago and showed people the technology we have today. They would think you were a god or God. They would not be able to understand what you were telling them. Dr. Timothy Leary proposed the idea that our brain power will increase as we evolve and move out into space. Think about all the advances we have made in the last 100 years and think about all the advances we will make in the future. We are just now starting to grasp what makes our universe tick and I love that I have the ability to use my imagination and expand my thinking and experience. The journey is more important than the destination.

Having found this topic by accident when searching for an update to the 'Big Bang' experiment at CERN, I have been reading with delight that so many other people seem to find this aspect of a Virtual Reality, real. Sorry, no pun intended.

I have thought, that we each live in our own VR, sort of like a mini-universe, that is evolved purely by our own individual actions.
And whilst we interact with other VR universes (other people), when things happen in our lives, we see it a certain way because the other people in our lives, are just the projections of VR.
So, for you (the other people), you also have this mini-universe that you live in. So, if I were to interact with you, I would perceive this interaction one way and you (in your mini-universe) would perceive it, completely differently.
So, in effect we are the only 'real' people in each of our own mini-universes.

But, with this theory comes a major headache.
If we each are 'real' and the universes and people therein for each of us, is Virtual, who made them. Well I suppose the answer would have to be 'us'.
Did that mean that some major catastrophy happened and now we can only live in this way. i.e. there is now no real universe, only our VR mini-universes?

But if not so, and you explanations of our VR is the true version, and 'someone' is playing the 'game of the century' with us, can you tell me, why did they make us so that we only use 10% of our brain capacity. Does that mean they intend for us to evolve to higher beings; or was just it a glitch in 'programming',
Anyone have an answer for the excess brain capacity we don't currently use?

I find this theory extremely interesting and worth investigating with our own minds.

I find it fascinating how similar it is to the "holographic universe theory" and how elegantly it fits with what wise, sincere followers of a Creator have said.

How interesting it is to realize that this theory could even be a possibility! Regardless if you believe in a Creator or not, we have to admit that this universe it not what we see it as.

interesting topic….been going since january….(conversation)….if this in a vr wouldnt one of the primary laws be "comprehension of vr "unimaginable" ? it could get sticky if all the ants realize what the ant farm looked like , was made of, and where all the sand came from….and not to mention whos running it!!!! but …..why?….

It reminds me of the scene in Animal House where Tom Hulce and Donald Sutherland, sitting in the bathroom… in the dark… stoned out of their minds… get into a conversation about how our universe may be a molecule in the thumbnail of some giant and, the inevitable evolution of that theory, that one molecule in our thumbnail could be an entire universe….

e=mc2
then
m=e/c2
ie, slowing down energy is possible to create mass. this is what CERN is seeking at this minute , ie the Higgs bosson or God particle, the particle that creates mass. Once we find it, in about 10 years time maximum, we just need to combine it with the part of the code of the universe that we know [newton, einstein etc equations] ie, the programming of this VR, and we will be able to create our own 3-d VR. for instance i can imagine we will soon have a machine, similar to a microwaves, where inputting rubbish, to be decomposed at atomic level, will output whatever we ask for, say, a diamond.

Or if you want to get deep. Maybe our simulated universe is just an assignment for some higher level Physics Class.

Tomorrows Homework:

With the software provided, create a simulated universe. Set your own Physical Laws and record the results. Was life able to evolve? Were any species sentient? If so, how far did they advance within the alloted time frame?

It's clear that the people who don't understand this theory, know very little about computation, and the governing laws of our universe. So disregard their petty attempts at disproving a THEORY.

As for the constant question of "Why" on this theory, heres a thought….

say, in 1,000 years from now, the battle between Creation and The Big Bang still rage on.

So announces his solution to the debate…

He uses the massive quantum computational power available in his time to create a computer simulation.

Based on what science knows, he recreates the Big Bang, making sure all physical laws are identical to his own.

The outcome would determine whether the Big Band Theory really could spawn life.

PROBABLE ALIEN INTERDIMENSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HISTORY:

1. Aware one is living in a spectrum of reality.

2. Develop the ability to view other spectrums of reality. (Good old fashion Shamanism).

3. Develop the ability to travel and live freely within other spectrums of reality.

4. Create one's own spectrum of reality, dimension or universe.

5. Place other beings in this created spectrum of reality to create simulated situations as a study tool and potential energy supply.

An alien species of enough technological advancement could in fact create a simulated environment as elaborate as this world, reality and universe. If in fact it was flawless, one would not know whether one was in it or not and this remains the case.

The universe gave birth bio life
Bio live gave birth to information life
information life gave birth to the universe

so we are in vritual world , lol, yes like that video game .. and like Arthur C. Clarke wrote,.. so our mind must be the only way to connect with outside of the reality and.. am sure the Creator make some code backup and of course has all controls under his hand.. the only question if he is alive too , if he dead , we are lost

The universe gave the birth of bio life.
Bio live gave the birth of the information life.
information life gave birth to the universe

and right maybe be do all this around a lot of time ago.. and run it on any place of universe to generate new v realities, or bio lifes, et, all as same way programmed.. . the most intertesting is were is the backup files

Everyone has gone digital insane but if you look at the nature of existence it all seems to be one big sinewave and so if you run fast enough you'll see your own backside in the distance!

When you assume we are living in a VR, maybe you'll find out that the real creator's universe may look similarly to our virtual one. For example, just take
any simulation game like Sims etc. The world in such a game is represented to be fairly identical to our world, there're
trees, houses, skies, clouds… people, animals; there're some physics. We simply like to emulate our world and sometimes
enhancing some of its features or adding new ones.
Additionally, no simulation is perfect of 100%,
sometimes there occur things (bugs etc.) that we point out to be unreal. Unreal for us. Everything we simulate
is absolutely real for the hypothetical beings in that game's virtual reality. You can define a new
sun in the sky, change the physical laws respectively and the people in there will believe that.

Now just think of us as the virtual beings. The physical laws we're experiencing every day is an obviosity for us.
The gravity force works. The light travels through space. But what if the creators are just "laughing" on this because they cannot
imagine this to be real in their own universe and it's everything just a result of "someone's fantasy"?

We can make any sci-fi VR, we can simulate any physical law and it's effects. What if this is being done
by the intelligence that created our world?

Quantum Physics states that nothing exists until it is observed. Therefore our reality is virtual.

If everything exists regardless of observation only then is reality actual.

The laws of conservation therefore favor our reality as virtual.

Also due to conservation laws reality is based on a fractal pattern which is why it looks all the more real to us.

Thanks Chuck, at least two of us gotta' grip!

Look all you brainy people, ask yourself one question… "Does your virtual world contain ANY organtic life forms? Point out ANY non-organtic life-form on this planet that's ALIVE?

Because both-sides of the "Looking Glass" it is either "Organic", or "Robotic", can't have it both ways — Sorry!

Again, get a GRIP… then get a LIFE (a real one).

hmmm… so, we (and everything in the universe/multiverse) could be a bunch of networked kids playing The Sims (or Civilisation, etc)?! … and now we are all going down the same path, where generations from now, we will simulate our own "universes"… which means evolved humans will be "Gods"…

this may only be interesting to me, but one question i'm pondering is, if this is indeed a virtual reality and it has been 'designed', does our universe have to be this big to produce self-aware lifeforms?

to restate – if it is as rare as it seems for intelligent life to evolve on a planet in our reality then maybe the vastness of the apparent universe is really necessary.

that would make the universe more of an experiment i.e. if the "Creator" sets certain parameters and laws for a hypothetical universe, then how many planets will eventually evolve intelligent life out of the billions and billions that exist?

we may be more rare than we realize, even in the vast universe.

the whole thing's a mind bender and i like it. perhaps true evolution for a human being is being open to the unknown possibilities of the universe. y'know, life Q advised to Picard in the last Next Gen episode.

maybe the way to survive the simulation and be eternal is to have really interesting thoughts and ideas and an openness to unknown possibilities. science only ever got anyone so far. as far as i'm concerned the next great leap is embracing the mystery.
