And does the famous Double Slit Experiment prove it.

I've always heard about the Double Slit Experiment, but this takes it to another level and is explained very well by Morgan Freeman.

The short story for those who can't read or don't want to watch the video is: The photons behave differently if we are watching them.

I remember listening to a physicist and he was proposing that nothing is rendered in "The Game" until we observe it. And now his theory has some credence.

Take a minute and watch this...

If we live in a simulation then what are we going to do about it?

Matrix is a documentary.

Enjoy the ride?

I read about experiments that proved time travel was possible and has been done using lasers
Never heard or read about reality not being real and if that is/was the case then time travel would only mean someone somewhere hit a fast forward button and scientists never really did anything

Eat the steak, even though we know it's not real.

Simulation , I’ve looked at it some . It’s interesting. Not a big jump from simulation to creation .

Philosophically if you believe in God like I do, then we are indeed in a simulation.

We existed in the spiritual realm before we were born and we will continue to live in the the spiritual realm after we die. If that is indeed the case, then what we are in right now is some kind of artificially created trial, a simulation, where we have to prove ourselves worthy of continuing on to a better afterlife.

I agree... See my comments above.

I think there’s a lot more that we haven’t learned about photons and the their properties/behaviors ( or quantum mechanics)and therefore we’re jumping to a lot of conclusions. Brings to mind Schrödinger’s Cat , which I find very interesting.

I guess that’s why we sometimes think we’ve already experienced the same thing already

Simulation maybe?

So now we are predestined instead of free will?

Y’all do a lot of pondering around that bon fire and that makes for good times

How does AI feel about this?

AI is a simulation within a simulation.

But will it become self aware before humanity does?

Most of my deep thinking either involves a long motorcycle ride or a cocktail and a campfire.

Just because we may be in a game doesn't mean that the outcome is predetermined.

The predestination vs freewill question is an interesting one. And even though I was born and raised a Presbyterian, it's the main reason I am not one now.

I'm more of a free will kind of guy.

I wondered if the motorcycle ride triggered these post. LOL

These are things our group entertains at get togethers. It makes for interesting conversations especially when alcohol is involved. 😝

I do believe Irish , you were able to articulate my unexplained opinion of it well . I’ve watched and read a good bit about simulation and some of the points they make yet are staunch agnostic or atheist leave me shaking my head . To each their own on their belief or lack Thereof but please , if you think simulation could be true do as CS Lewis did and keep digging .

An the Bible’s says the ones that believe will have all their questions answered .there is mysteries we all would like know the answers to an if we follow God they will be answered

What god do you believe in where you have to prove you are worthy to get to a better afterlife? I’ve never heard of this religion.

What bible do you read? The Bible I read states that we have to follow gods laws to have the promise of heaven. Following those laws in my opinion in the end would show your faithfulness and worthiness.
