Nothing else to do with their money-where is the question about a Divine Source? They are going to deliver us from the matrix-egos as big as a universe
Some of the world’s richest and most powerful people are convinced that we are living in a computer simulation. And now they’re trying to do something about it.
At least two of Silicon Valley’s tech billionaires are pouring money into efforts to break humans out of the simulation that they believe that it is living in, according to a new report.
Philosophers have long been concerned about how we can know that our world isn’t just a very believable simulation of a real one. But concern about that has become ever more active in recent years, as computers and artificial intelligence have advanced.
That has led some tech billionaires to speculate that the chances we are not living in such a simulation is “billions to one”. Even Bank of America analysts wrote last month that the chances we are living in a Matrix-style fictional world is as high as 50 per cent.
And now at least two billionaires are funding scientists in an effort to try and break us out of that simulation. It isn’t clear what form that work is taking.
“Many people in Silicon Valley have become obsessed with the simulation hypothesis, the argument that what we experience as reality is in fact fabricated in a computer,” writes The New Yorker’s Tad Friend. “Two tech billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage scientists to work on breaking us out of the simulation.”
The detail came from a New Yorker profile of Sam Altman, who runs Y Combinator which helps develop tech companies.
Mr Friend didn’t indicate whether Mr Altman was one of those two, or who those people might be. A number of prominent tech billionaires have discussed the idea of the simulation – including Elon Musk, who has used his fortune to fund potentially odd efforts in the past.
Mr Musk spoke earlier this year about the fact that he believes that the chance that we are not living in a computer simulation is “one in billions”. He said that he had come to that conclusion after a chat in a hot tub, where it was pointed out that computing technology has advanced so quickly that at some point in the future it will become indistinguishable from real life – and, if it does, there’s no reason to think that it hasn’t done already and that that’s what we are currently living through.

But atheists have created lots of red herrings that have effectively put the evidences in the blind spots of many pple. They have gone out to convince pple that the beleif in God is without a tickle of any scientific evidence and that almost no scientist entertain such. But if your using your brain, you should be able to easily see that this is at odd with such weird suggestions like that the universe is a simulation.
With that said, it is important that you see that I am not preaching nor saying that the the 'God' idea is unquestionable. I am only saying that contrary to what atheist preach, 'God' is at least reasonable. There is a big difference between considering god as a dogma, and as an object of unquestionable worship and considering it for the sole purpose of understanding the universe. Infact the latter was the original purpose as it can be seen by considering how 'THEOry' was coined from 'theo' which means 'God' in greek.
I percieve the universe as a Mathematical Equation of Fractal Design. :)
Q: The probability of a given thing happening?
A: One!
In the other quantized quantities, such as the quantized distance of an electron from the nuclear, a jump into another dimension would be a jump to the 'forbiden' space in between say the nuclear and the first energy level of the electron. With a computer, this is trivial to understand. Infact such is exactly how the computer interlaces different tasks. The above technique is that termed 'space multiplexing' in computer engineering. The quantization of frequency provides what is termed 'time multiplexing'. We understand different 'dimensions' as to be 'time multiplexed' apart. Then the fundamental frequency is related with the speed of the 'computer'.

The periodic table does NOT fit one block after the other, and if you have had ANY understanding of chemistry, you'd know WHY.
Sorry Panacea, but you're making Psychedelic Mushroom-sense right now. The current reasoning however, does NOT conform to That particular Logic. You're Trippy. The logic of the post you've answered, demands you to use Intellectual Logic.
Let the shrooms rest for 36 hours and then post a reply again.
And thats my point. Consciousness cannot possibly be a simulation of any sort. This is because 'simulation' itself is just a concept in the consciousness. This means that without consciousness, there can be no meaning of a simulation of any sort. Therefore consciousness must come prio to any simulation. Therefore consciousness cannot possibly be any simulation. Its just too fundamental.
