Daily reminder that the chances of us not living in a computer simulation are 1/∞

There can't be an infinite number of parallel universes because time would be parallel to that as well so there wouldn't be a "past" or "future" universe.

Could you please redefine the bounds?

No it's not dumbass, it's 50/50. Either it is or it isn't.

They are a product of math, and math is the same here as in the real world.

fuck off elon

Daily reminder that the computer power needed to model a Universe equals or exceeds that contained in the Universe.

Define computer

Depending on the hardware, it might be more appropriate to say its a dream

daily reminder this isnt true because compression can happen infinitely.

Daily reminder that if you harness all available information in any given universe, you can simulate a universe almost as large as the current universe and become god in the new universe.

daily reminder you can have bigger infinities inside smaller infinities..

daily reminder that cantor was a crank and wrong

who? i just reasoned this by myself, sorry?

What makes Cantor a crankshaft?

seriously who?
just think this
infinity is a concept of such that it can contain itself because by definition you cant really get rid of an infinity so putting an infinity inside an infinity, is not infinity - infinity =0
just a clever abuse of infi ity containing multiple i finities.

1-2 has infinite numbers
but theres an infinite amount of "1-2"'s

Daily reminder that a subset can't be larger than the superset it belongs to.

Daily reminder to read up on pascals wager

That's not just not true, it's complete bullshit.

daily reminder infinity is the exception, not the standard

You don't need to simulate the entire universe, just the part that is observed.

If a tree falls in a computer simulated forest and there's no simulated people to hear it, does it make a sound?
And if it does produce sound, does that sound happen immediately, or is the potential for sound only realized when a simulated person stumbles upon the fallen tree many years after it happened?

nigger winrar already does this, its called compression

If we made a simulation of a small low resolution universe, and that universe grew sapient life. Do you think that life would discard the idea that they're simulated because "the simulator would need to be bigger than our universe"?

Maybe, but they'd be really dumb to assume there's nothing bigger than themselves. For all we know we're simulated by a true reality where the rules are completely different, there is no binding speed of light, and infinite energy/time is easily attainable. Our universe's life so far could be the equivalent of microseconds of execution on a machine literally beyond our ability to comprehend.

Of course this is just a bunch of mental masturbation. Might as well believe the bible was written by god.

first off. respectful dubs.

second, youre assuming time is a multiversal denominator, with everything being dictated by time. multiverses can exist without the idea of paralleling. in infinite parallel universes, changes are dictated by changes in motion or energy in a single, standard timeline. in a regular system of multiverses, time may run at different speeds so they are not evenly synced to contain to discernable past and future.

Daily reminder that fractals and other procedural systems don't need much computing power.

part of math/logic anyways. Will always exist in any and every system that doesn't arbitrarily restrict them from existing.

Just simulate a shitty universe with a speed limit on light or something

What if, like, what we think is the universe is just experiences being beamed into our mind, when we're really someone else? Really makes you think!
