  • Simulation Hypotheses

    The simulation hypothesis proposes that all of reality, including the earth and the universe, is in fact an artificial simulation, most likely a computer simulation. Some versions rely on the development of a simulated reality, a proposed technology that would seem realistic enough to convince its inhabitants the simulation was real. The hypothesis has been…

  • Further on Base Reality

    Just trying to see the context of possibilities under a paradigmatic viewing of a simulation of Space and Time. 3. Wheeler. His phrase “It from Bit” implies that at a deep level, everything is information. “Physicists have now returned to the idea that the three-dimensional world that surrounds us could be a three- dimensional slice…

  • Base Reality?

    Elon Musk, “There’s a one in billions chance we’re in base reality” Written by Jason Koebler, Motherboard. “The strongest argument for us being in a simulation, probably being in a simulation is the following: 40 years ago, we had pong, two rectangles and a dot,” Musk said. “That is what games were. Now 40 years…

  • Is Reality a Virtual Simulation?

    To my mind there must be, at the bottom of it all, not an equation, but an utterly simple idea. And to me that idea, when we finally discover it, will be so compelling, so inevitable, that we will say to one another, “Oh, how beautiful ! How could it have been otherwise?”From a personal…

  • A Universe on the Other Side

     “I think people thought that the universe was smaller, yet discoveries in the last century have found there are black holes everywhere, billions of black holes in our universe and each may produce a universe on the other side, like an infinite tree,” he said. – See more at: New Hit Film ‘Gravity’ Speaks to…

  • Generalizations on, It from Bit

    I know there is an essay question going on and I thought it might quite the challenge indeed to wonder and construct from a layman standpoint some of the ideas that are emerging from the challenge. The past century in fundamental physics has shown a steady progression away from thinking about physics, at its deepest…

  • Generalizatons on:" It From Bit" Part 2

    John Archibald Wheeler (born July 9, 1911) is an eminent American theoretical physicist. One of the later collaborators of Albert Einstein, he tried to achieve Einstein’s vision of a unified field theory. He is also known as the coiner of the popular name of the well known space phenomenon, the black hole.  There is always…

  • Reality is Information?

    ARE YOU LIVING IN A COMPUTER SIMULATION?BY NICK BOSTROM This paper argues that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history…

  • Digital Physics

    In physics and cosmology, digital physics is a collection of theoretical perspectives based on the premise that the universe is, at heart, describable by information, and is therefore computable. Therefore, the universe can be conceived as either the output of a computer program or as a vast, digital computation device (or, at least, mathematically isomorphic…
