1 00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:06,710 [Applause] 2 00:00:09,430 --> 00:00:07,909 we're gonna talk about the simulated 3 00:00:10,629 --> 00:00:09,440 reality 4 00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:10,639 and 5 00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:13,280 uh this crazy universe we all seem to be 6 00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:15,599 occupying at the same time 7 00:00:21,349 --> 00:00:18,480 so i got a couple articles about this 8 00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:21,359 and the the first one i'm gonna bring up 9 00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:24,000 on screen please 10 00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:26,320 there's a headline that says if we live 11 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:27,920 in a simulation 12 00:00:32,709 --> 00:00:30,960 how much computer memory does it need oh 13 00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:32,719 we just discussed this before the show 14 00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:33,840 you can tell them all about computer 15 00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:36,559 memory i i ran out of computer memory i 16 00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:40,320 ran out of some ram and my computer was 17 00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:42,480 messing up last week if everyone 18 00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:44,559 remembers we weren't streaming 19 00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:46,320 uh to all the locations we normally 20 00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:48,160 would because i ran out of memory so if 21 00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:50,079 we live in a simulation simulation what 22 00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:51,280 do we need 23 00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:54,559 well uh storing a simulation of the 24 00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:57,199 universe is likely to require more 25 00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:00,000 memory than the average video game well 26 00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:06,469 what kind of statement is that for like 27 00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:08,560 a lead off you know 28 00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:10,799 this comes from live science 29 00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:12,320 i've never heard of life science you 30 00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:14,080 never like science life science good 31 00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:16,080 they got the best science over there 32 00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:17,680 based on what based on the one sentence 33 00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:20,640 you've read me yeah i would say no 34 00:01:24,789 --> 00:01:22,240 okay well 35 00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:24,799 uh what if we told you 36 00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:27,360 that the the world could live though i'm 37 00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:29,439 sorry what if we told you that the world 38 00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:31,520 you live in isn't real it might sound 39 00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:33,200 like a concept straight out of the kiana 40 00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:35,040 reeves science fiction favorite the 41 00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:36,720 matrix but according to some of the 42 00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:38,479 world's most 43 00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:41,840 important top minds the i that idea 44 00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:43,520 that we are living inside a 45 00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:45,759 sophisticated computer simulation is not 46 00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:47,119 only possible 47 00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:48,560 it may 48 00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:50,960 actually be more likely than the idea 49 00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:54,079 that we are living in the real world but 50 00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:56,640 like all computer programs such as such 51 00:02:02,389 --> 00:01:59,600 a complex situ uh simulation 52 00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:02,399 which would presumably include the 53 00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:05,119 entire observable universe 54 00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:07,360 would have to be stored somewhere 55 00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:09,280 intrigued by the possibility physicist 56 00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:10,479 melvin 57 00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:13,680 vopson from the university of portsmouth 58 00:02:18,229 --> 00:02:15,520 has sought to calculate just how much 59 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,239 computer memory the entire universe 60 00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:20,720 would actually require 61 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,239 to do this you started by first 62 00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:24,160 determining how much information there 63 00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:24,959 is 64 00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,480 in a single subtonic subatomic particle 65 00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:30,640 then marked up multiplied it uh 66 00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:33,360 multiplied this by the estimate for the 67 00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:35,440 total number of particles in the 68 00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:36,400 universe 69 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:38,319 this calculation just comes to a rather 70 00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:41,680 ridiculous 10 to the 93rd 71 00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:43,840 power of bits or 72 00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,720 6 million trillion trillion trillion 73 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:48,959 trillion needed to store the entire 74 00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:50,879 universe in computer memory well i'm 75 00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:52,879 going to pause right there 76 00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:55,200 he is saying that 77 00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:56,640 according to this calculation he's 78 00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:58,080 saying 79 00:03:02,390 --> 00:02:59,599 every 80 00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,400 subatomic subatomic particle is rendered 81 00:03:08,309 --> 00:03:04,959 simultaneously 82 00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:08,319 and i'm not sure if that's true he's 83 00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:09,680 calculating he's making all these 84 00:03:14,309 --> 00:03:11,840 calculations like well everything is 85 00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:14,319 rendered at the same time so therefore 86 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:17,280 we need that much memory when i think 87 00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:19,200 the universe if it is a simulation it 88 00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:22,800 gets rendered on demand and that demand 89 00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:23,840 is 90 00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:24,640 uh 91 00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:28,319 the conscious observable mind like us it 92 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,640 gets rendered when us the observer is 93 00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:32,879 looking at it beyond that it's not 94 00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:34,879 consuming all that memory all that much 95 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:36,799 memory so that that's a one of the 96 00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:39,360 primary ways that that developers who do 97 00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:40,720 develop video games when they're working 98 00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:42,480 on that they they save on the amount of 99 00:03:46,149 --> 00:03:44,239 memory overhead necessary they only 100 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:46,159 render out the world that's visible yeah 101 00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:47,920 in the field of view from the point of 102 00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:50,560 view of the player character um which is 103 00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:51,680 why one of the things you could do in 104 00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:54,000 some of the older was the the 105 00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:56,319 grand theft auto games if you drove 106 00:03:59,670 --> 00:03:58,480 backwards but looked forwards the world 107 00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:59,680 hadn't rendered behind you so there was 108 00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:02,159 no traffic yeah stuff like that so 109 00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:04,640 you're right it would seem odd to say 110 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:07,360 that every particle is rendered as its 111 00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:10,640 own bit presumably uh and thus using 112 00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:12,400 that number which is species to start 113 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:14,720 with anyway is how they arrived at 114 00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,239 umpteen quadrillion trillion drilling 115 00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:18,959 whatever it was brazilians uh of of 116 00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:21,120 memory necessary 117 00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:22,400 already said 118 00:04:27,749 --> 00:04:25,440 you only ever need 640k 119 00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:27,759 that's what he said that was uh i think 120 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:29,440 he may have changed his mind since then 121 00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:31,360 but the 600 million trillion trillion 122 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:33,680 trillion trillion trillion trillion 123 00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:34,960 um 124 00:04:38,629 --> 00:04:36,639 pieces of memory needed to render the 125 00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:38,639 universe i mean i don't have that much i 126 00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:41,199 only have 600 million trillion trillion 127 00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:42,800 trillion 128 00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:44,639 megabytes of ram so you need to get more 129 00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:46,560 memory today i'm a little low on my 130 00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:48,560 memory to for even my own personal 131 00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:50,080 computing needs 132 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:52,080 so do you select what gets turned off in 133 00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:53,440 the universe you was like you know what 134 00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:55,520 south america i don't really care about 135 00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:56,639 you right now 136 00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:59,120 yeah so i i i appreciate the pr the 137 00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:00,639 approach here i just don't think he 138 00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:02,880 thought it through all the way he's he's 139 00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:04,160 he's assuming everything's an active 140 00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:06,400 memory which i don't think that it is 141 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:09,360 um so i'll continue on here of course if 142 00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:12,320 we are living in a computer simulation 143 00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:14,880 it is likely to be one created by a much 144 00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:17,199 more advanced civilization or 145 00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:20,000 even our future selves meaning that such 146 00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,000 levels of computer storage 147 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:24,560 might not be particularly excessive or 148 00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:27,520 unreachable as thing stands 149 00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,680 it's a bit like trying to imagine how 150 00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:32,000 the latest big budget video game which 151 00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:34,800 can exceed 100 gigabytes of size could 152 00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:38,000 be stored in the memory of an old 1980s 153 00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,680 8-bit home computer 154 00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:43,199 baby 155 00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:44,720 that doesn't make any 156 00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:46,800 what the hell kind of reference was that 157 00:05:51,990 --> 00:05:48,800 so i think it's like they're trying to 158 00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:52,000 create an analogy they're saying we are 159 00:05:59,350 --> 00:05:55,840 like the old 1980s 8-bit home computer 160 00:06:02,150 --> 00:05:59,360 and we're like we are trying to imagine 161 00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:02,160 what it would be like to try to run 162 00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:04,720 a modern video game on the platforms we 163 00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:07,520 have and we can't we can't understand it 164 00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:09,600 we can't understand using a hundred 165 00:06:14,469 --> 00:06:12,160 gigabytes just for a game well but using 166 00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:14,479 an 8-bit computer he's mixing metaphors 167 00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:16,960 of memory and storage and memory in 168 00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:19,039 addressable storage versus now 169 00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,759 processing power yes exactly 170 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:23,520 right this is like the who's who ted 171 00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,520 stevens it's a series of tubes it's like 172 00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:27,039 some of these analogies don't work when 173 00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:28,720 you fundamentally get it wrong to start 174 00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:29,600 with 175 00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:31,919 you know bandwidth maximum throughput 176 00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:33,280 and bandwidth are different things you 177 00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:34,720 can't just say it's tubes let's add 178 00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:36,479 another tube so this guy's saying well 179 00:06:41,029 --> 00:06:39,520 if your nintendo in 1986 had a trillion 180 00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:41,039 trillion trillion trillion trillion bits 181 00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:42,479 of memory it could run all them no it 182 00:06:44,550 --> 00:06:43,680 couldn't 183 00:06:46,070 --> 00:06:44,560 so 184 00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:46,080 these computers i'll tell you they just 185 00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:48,880 get crazier i agree alex 186 00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:56,309 my nintendo plays atari games how does 187 00:07:01,029 --> 00:06:58,960 that not work i thought it worked i 188 00:07:03,029 --> 00:07:01,039 bought a computer 189 00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:03,039 it's all compatible 190 00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:06,000 well i i uh i just think that this 191 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:08,160 calculation that they did was uh 192 00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:09,360 they're just not thinking through i 193 00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:11,759 understand like the the exercise that 194 00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:13,360 they tried to do here and it's like oh 195 00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:15,840 my god 196 00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:17,360 this computer that we're running in is 197 00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:20,080 is completely crazy but uh yeah like 198 00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:21,680 we're talking about like active memory 199 00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:23,680 versus what's observable 200 00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:27,440 and uh i decide there's a philosophical 201 00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:29,520 element to the simulated reality that 202 00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:32,160 they're ignoring he's mixing ram and rob 203 00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:34,000 you know active storage and accessible 204 00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:35,520 memory it's just like 205 00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:37,599 and then processing power so what so i 206 00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:38,880 see there's some there are some comments 207 00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:39,840 there 208 00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:40,880 what are what are the first couple 209 00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:42,000 comments are they calling this guy out 210 00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:43,919 and being just like 211 00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:45,599 i will read the comments because i love 212 00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:47,840 comments so 213 00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:50,160 uh the uh first coming here here's my 214 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:52,319 cynical post that contributes little to 215 00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:54,479 what i consider is an aimless thread 216 00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:55,360 based 217 00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:57,520 loosely on a superficial article that 218 00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:58,400 makes 219 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,879 a barely litter attempt to narrate some 220 00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:02,800 of the irrelevant speculations about an 221 00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:05,440 ill-considered notion derived from 222 00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,160 multiple hypoth hypothetical concepts 223 00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:10,160 but it taps into a fundamental 224 00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:12,960 uneasiness about ourselves our fates and 225 00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:15,120 actual uh reality of our existence 226 00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:17,520 presumably this simulation 227 00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:19,120 uh were 228 00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:21,599 in is coded well enough that we can't 229 00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:24,160 ever prove or disprove it's there 230 00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:27,120 logically the aliens who designed us 231 00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:28,639 might also be 232 00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:34,240 there's someone else's computer 233 00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:35,599 okay so 234 00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:37,680 good call tom 1200 for calling out this 235 00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:40,640 guy on his on his specious and spurious 236 00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:42,240 argument to start with and then pointing 237 00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:43,519 out that it's probably much bigger than 238 00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:44,320 that 239 00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:47,279 so what uh post 20 here says uh it might 240 00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:49,279 actually it might take less memory than 241 00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:51,680 that as there is another version of the 242 00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:54,320 simulated theory where the only things 243 00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:56,560 being processed is what is being 244 00:09:00,389 --> 00:08:58,720 observed interacted with 245 00:09:04,949 --> 00:09:00,399 while the rest is just background 246 00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:04,959 stimulation for a very large and even uh 247 00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:07,360 for very large and even that 248 00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:09,200 well this is not written very well but 249 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:10,720 that's what we're talking about 250 00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,640 um 251 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:14,640 like only the observed 252 00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:17,200 universe is is being rendered at that 253 00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:18,560 particular time 254 00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:20,640 and it's not some of it's not even being 255 00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,399 rendered completely 256 00:09:28,870 --> 00:09:24,480 well and there might be things that are 257 00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:28,880 missing and i i brought this up like um 258 00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:32,800 like when it comes to flat versus round 259 00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:35,040 it can be rendered round that's that's 260 00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:37,200 what it's programmed to be rendered but 261 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:38,959 you know it actually might be 262 00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:40,640 flat to a certain degree in certain 263 00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:42,560 areas depending on who's observing it 264 00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:44,880 and and where they're observing this and 265 00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:46,800 how much uh processing power is demanded 266 00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:49,120 at that point in time 267 00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:52,080 um fascinating conversation but 268 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:53,360 what you basically just described right 269 00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:54,480 there is compression that's how 270 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:56,399 compression works is you you eliminate 271 00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:57,920 information that's not necessary for the 272 00:10:01,670 --> 00:09:59,920 fundamental yeah transmission of set 273 00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:01,680 information reducing colors or reducing 274 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:04,320 depth um and yeah you could do that if 275 00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:05,920 you take a photo of a three-dimensional 276 00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:07,839 space your brain fills in the gaps to 277 00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:09,040 tell you how it's three-dimensional and 278 00:10:11,509 --> 00:10:10,240 how the rest of it looks and how it was 279 00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:11,519 all interacting 280 00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:12,800 so you could do the same thing in this 281 00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:13,920 sort of thing the simulation do i need a 282 00:10:17,509 --> 00:10:16,160 simulation of venus 283 00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:17,519 if there's physically nobody on venus 284 00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:18,560 let's just start with that if there's 285 00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:20,480 nobody on venus do we need to fully 286 00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:22,000 render venus or can we just like no 287 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:23,839 there's a freaking thing in the sky just 288 00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:25,360 put some clouds there it's easier to 289 00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:27,279 render yeah and when any probe gets in 290 00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:29,200 there you just melt it yeah just just 291 00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:31,279 put some blobs there blobs of white 292 00:10:34,949 --> 00:10:32,880 clouds we don't got to render any 293 00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:34,959 mountains if they happen to get a probe 294 00:10:38,310 --> 00:10:36,880 in there fine we'll render some dirt for 295 00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:38,320 them or some [\h__\h] 296 00:10:42,069 --> 00:10:40,000 but beyond that they ain't getting 297 00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:42,079 anything 298 00:10:45,269 --> 00:10:44,160 uh here's another 299 00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:45,279 article 300 00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:46,959 related to the 301 00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:49,279 uh simulated reality 302 00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:51,279 and this one's titled could our universe 303 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:54,560 be an alien science experiment 304 00:11:01,990 --> 00:10:57,519 and this comes from uh scientific 305 00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:02,000 american oh yes the scientific american 306 00:11:08,310 --> 00:11:04,560 so we have what the scientifically the 307 00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:08,320 one and only scientific american 308 00:11:11,829 --> 00:11:09,760 so we have live science doing the 309 00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:11,839 simulated reality and we got scientific 310 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:15,440 american uh doing the alien experiment 311 00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:17,120 um 312 00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:18,720 so and these are all coming out within 313 00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:20,560 like two to three weeks of each other so 314 00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:22,320 it's all written by the same guy i don't 315 00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:25,680 know i put i you can look it up i could 316 00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:27,040 i'll well you're getting all these 317 00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:29,120 through through an uh aggregator right i 318 00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:31,760 am an aggregator but 319 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:33,279 i'll read this here a little bit so 320 00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:35,040 scientists have speculated over the 321 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:37,839 possibility that our entire universe may 322 00:11:42,069 --> 00:11:40,560 have been created in a laboratory there 323 00:11:44,069 --> 00:11:42,079 is so much we don't understand about the 324 00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:44,079 universe and the nature of existence 325 00:11:48,949 --> 00:11:46,160 that even attempting to comprehend how 326 00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:48,959 anything actually exists at all 327 00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:52,079 is enough to make your head hurt 328 00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:54,079 well currently while the currently 329 00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:55,600 accepted model for the birth of the 330 00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:58,399 universe is the big bang we still don't 331 00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:59,279 know 332 00:12:03,829 --> 00:12:01,360 much of anything about 333 00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:03,839 what was around before that or what 334 00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:05,519 triggered the expansion in the first 335 00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:06,399 place 336 00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:08,160 could the universe be caught in an in 337 00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:10,720 the cycle of expansion and contraction 338 00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:13,200 is our universe one of a multitude of 339 00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:16,000 other universes in the overarching 340 00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:18,480 multiverse we just don't know 341 00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:20,320 in a recent article harvard university 342 00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:22,800 astronomer uh alvi 343 00:12:27,829 --> 00:12:25,920 loeb put forward another possibility one 344 00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:27,839 that doesn't exactly help to explain the 345 00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:30,240 nature of reality but certainly makes 346 00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:32,800 for an interesting thought exercise what 347 00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:34,720 if the universe was actually created by 348 00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:37,440 an advanced extraterrestrial uh 349 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:40,639 civilization or beings in a laboratory 350 00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:42,240 for this to be true of course there 351 00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:45,040 would need to be some other universe of 352 00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:47,920 which our universe is a part of 353 00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:51,200 or part to which it is connected one 354 00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:53,200 which these alien scientists live in 355 00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:54,160 work 356 00:12:59,269 --> 00:12:57,839 it is also likely that if this were true 357 00:13:03,590 --> 00:12:59,279 they 358 00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:03,600 universes in the same way 359 00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:05,440 but this is all this all begs the 360 00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,160 question how did their universe come 361 00:13:13,190 --> 00:13:10,160 about rather than solving the question 362 00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:13,200 of the origin of our universe it simply 363 00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:15,600 uh regresses the problem and 364 00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:18,160 necessitates the even more complex 365 00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:19,200 answer 366 00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:20,880 why wouldn't they just use the same wife 367 00:13:24,069 --> 00:13:22,320 yeah if our universe is created by the 368 00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:24,079 big bang and then someone says but maybe 369 00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:25,440 our universe is a simulation inside 370 00:13:31,430 --> 00:13:27,279 another universe why isn't that one just 371 00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:32,949 in us 372 00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:35,200 it is similar to the common atheist 373 00:13:39,269 --> 00:13:37,120 argument concerning the existence of god 374 00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:39,279 if god made our universe 375 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:41,360 who made god at the end of the day the 376 00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:44,560 same question remains unanswered 377 00:13:49,990 --> 00:13:45,920 the creature 378 00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:50,000 creature and or the goblins the goblin 379 00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:51,279 now i've been 380 00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:52,560 listening to you just want to point out 381 00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:54,560 real quick that that tv show big bang 382 00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:56,480 theory uh which i'm still proud to say 383 00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:58,639 i've never seen has ruined all of my 384 00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:00,079 searches for images related to the big 385 00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:03,360 bang yeah it's [\h__\h] yes it is 386 00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:05,360 well um 387 00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:07,760 it just seems like 388 00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:09,279 they're kind of stumbling here a little 389 00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:12,000 bit i i like that they're asking these 390 00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:13,440 questions 391 00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:15,279 but and but it seems like they're 392 00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:17,199 they're really limiting 393 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:19,760 the the scope of of their their thought 394 00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:21,440 here like if it like the previous 395 00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:23,600 article if it is a simulation and we're 396 00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:25,360 living in some sort of computer 397 00:14:29,189 --> 00:14:27,040 generated reality well then 398 00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:29,199 hypothetically there's some sort of api 399 00:14:33,509 --> 00:14:31,680 we can tap into and let's just go down 400 00:14:36,069 --> 00:14:33,519 that route like it is a simulation it's 401 00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:36,079 a very advanced simulation one which we 402 00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:39,279 all feel is real and the more you feel 403 00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:41,760 it your emotions are real you are real i 404 00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:42,880 know a lot of people don't like these 405 00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:45,600 simulated reality theory because they 406 00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:48,160 think everything is fake and it turns 407 00:14:52,949 --> 00:14:51,120 into some exercise and nihilism where 408 00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:52,959 nothing's real so i can do anything i 409 00:14:57,509 --> 00:14:54,800 want well i think the opposite approach 410 00:14:59,990 --> 00:14:57,519 where um even if it is simulated you 411 00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:00,000 feel as though it is 412 00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:04,000 real and your emotions do have a a real 413 00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:06,560 impact on your emotional well-being and 414 00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:07,279 the 415 00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:10,480 around you 416 00:15:14,870 --> 00:15:11,440 well 417 00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:14,880 if this is a a simulated 418 00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:17,279 universe inside another universe and we 419 00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:18,880 are part of that simulation 420 00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:20,959 wouldn't our simulated and created 421 00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:22,320 consciousnesses 422 00:15:25,430 --> 00:15:23,760 thus 423 00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:25,440 assume that any anything we pick up is 424 00:15:28,389 --> 00:15:27,199 real and would you know be part of that 425 00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:28,399 why why would that be different why 426 00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:29,519 would we be 427 00:15:32,629 --> 00:15:30,880 outside of the matrix if we're in the 428 00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:32,639 matrix i guess 429 00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:34,959 yeah well i think uh there are like if 430 00:15:41,110 --> 00:15:38,240 each like this universe like our section 431 00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:41,120 of the observable universe is powered by 432 00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:43,440 our own brains and like there's 433 00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:44,959 different processing powers like you can 434 00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:47,279 say like this hypothetically like our 435 00:15:50,389 --> 00:15:48,399 brain 436 00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:50,399 is part of the simulation it like this 437 00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:52,399 part of the simulation is running off 438 00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:54,880 the containers like like in our brain 439 00:15:59,749 --> 00:15:56,880 and it's fairly advanced let's just say 440 00:16:02,389 --> 00:15:59,759 it is like an i9 processor with 32 441 00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:02,399 gigabytes of ram meanwhile like little 442 00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:04,639 bugs you know they're like a raspberry 443 00:16:09,189 --> 00:16:06,880 pi you know they can do stuff and they 444 00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:09,199 can but you know it they're not 445 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:11,920 observing as much of the universe as we 446 00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:13,360 are at one time 447 00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:17,279 and so it's like how modern-day computer 448 00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:19,279 infrastructure is deployed through 449 00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:21,279 containers and all these virtual 450 00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:24,000 environments uh ours is the same way we 451 00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:26,320 have all these different uh virtualized 452 00:16:31,189 --> 00:16:28,320 environments some with more processing 453 00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:31,199 power than others and that's exactly how 454 00:16:34,069 --> 00:16:32,320 we 455 00:16:35,749 --> 00:16:34,079 render this universe is through our 456 00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:35,759 observations 457 00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:37,680 and i think there's some sort of api 458 00:16:43,110 --> 00:16:40,560 that you can tap into by using prayer or 459 00:16:44,949 --> 00:16:43,120 ritual some people use blood sacrifice 460 00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:44,959 it's probably quick and easy dirty way 461 00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:46,079 to do it but you got to deal with the 462 00:16:49,430 --> 00:16:48,320 consequences um 463 00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:49,440 and 464 00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:51,199 then you have things like how do you 465 00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:53,279 explain paranor activity like ghosts 466 00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:55,759 maybe that's a zombie process where it 467 00:16:59,829 --> 00:16:58,079 was a process like we all are and it got 468 00:17:01,189 --> 00:16:59,839 killed off but the computer simulation 469 00:17:03,829 --> 00:17:01,199 didn't take it out so it's this 470 00:17:06,870 --> 00:17:03,839 continuing its zombie process in the 471 00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:06,880 background which we say oh my god it's a 472 00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:08,880 it's a specter it's a spirit no it's 473 00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:10,959 just a zombie process that hasn't been 474 00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:12,640 uh cleared out of the system yet you 475 00:17:17,110 --> 00:17:15,199 gotta kill that pig and it hasn't been 476 00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:17,120 killed by the main processing system the 477 00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:18,640 main process isn't that one of the 478 00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:21,039 conceits of the uh of the the world of 479 00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:25,510 there were programs that had been 480 00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:26,880 running that had been removed from the 481 00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:28,480 system but were still running and 482 00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:30,480 functionally were ghosts yeah something 483 00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:32,000 like that i don't think it's that 484 00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:33,280 far-fetched 485 00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:35,360 uh i like that they're they're 486 00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:36,720 they're touching on these things but i 487 00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:39,280 don't think they're going deep enough 488 00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:40,240 they're really just scratching the 489 00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:42,480 surface when like science talks about 490 00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:44,559 this kind of stuff or ufos they're 491 00:17:48,549 --> 00:17:45,760 really just kind of scratching the 492 00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:48,559 surface and as soon as they start to get 493 00:17:52,230 --> 00:17:50,720 to some interesting philosophical 494 00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:52,240 questions they kind of pull back a 495 00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:53,440 little bit 496 00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:55,520 and they don't they don't want to go too 497 00:17:58,830 --> 00:17:56,400 far 498 00:18:01,430 --> 00:17:58,840 um like there's like a theory like 499 00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:01,440 each black hole 500 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:03,600 that is out there in our universe 501 00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:06,720 actually kicks off a new universe like 502 00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:08,720 if you could go through and like go 503 00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:10,240 through that black hole and live you 504 00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:13,039 would wind up in a new universe that's 505 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:14,080 the theory i don't know i don't know how 506 00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:15,440 you can prove that maybe through some 507 00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:17,360 kind of mathematical 508 00:18:19,990 --> 00:18:18,720 theorem or 509 00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:20,000 something i don't know but i mean that's 510 00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:20,880 one thing you're just going through a 511 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,960 black hole just you just go in there and 512 00:18:26,390 --> 00:18:24,320 just find out 513 00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:26,400 just just yell back what you saw yeah 514 00:18:32,270 --> 00:18:29,600 give us an email at our big dumb month 515 00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:32,280 gmail.com check out 516 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:35,039 obdmport.com for all the social media 517 00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:36,240 and donation links
