So you didn't read it?
Look, to be fair, I can't disprove what you said, but I (and other members) gave reasons why that doesn't matter. This is reminiscent of theistic appeal to ignorance arguments.

What is reminiscent? Can you give an example?

You don't know for certain if God exists or not, so why not just believe?
If I we were debating a scientific theory, would I be wrong on citing scientists who have studied the theory for years?
I meant give me an example of something I wrote that prompted your "reminiscent" comment.
First you write down your own thoughts on the matter, and then you can use experts to back that up and/or help clarify your point.
Well look at my example and you'll see the similarity. Mate.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh fine
Well homeslice, just because some scientists entertain an idea doesn't give it a lot of credibility if there is no concise evidence presented. Newton had his idea of false beliefs too, such as alchemy (he was still one of our greatest scientists).Jebus wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 12:08 pmYou are treating this thread as if I have a position on the matter (which I do not). However, I think there is reason to give the matter some thought after someone as smart as Elon Musk says there is a 99.99% chance this is the case, while subsequently being supported by Steven Hawking and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
Well, there are certainly people that have proposed it, proof of it is that these people argue that those simulated universes could simulate new universes themselves.Jebus wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:28 pmI don't know of anyone who has proposed that our simulation consists of the whole universe. It consists of our perception that we are part of a whole universe which would require significantly less computing power.esquizofrenico wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 4:03 am What we know is that if we are a simulation, we are a simulation of a universe much much more complex that ours. Despite all that was said in popular culture in the past, we know for certain that we will never be able to simulate a universe even remotely comparable to ours, just to simulate quantum effects in a 100 spin system requires a memory of size larger than the universe.
