I find it egotistical to think someone cares enough about us to simulate us, and maintain the equipment that simulates us.

not only that, scientist tend to look at history as well to reference different things and evaluate theories......
But thats ok , we will just throw all of that out.........
Wouldnt it be hilarious if these aliens they are claiming end up being misogynistic, barbaric beings.....
Sweet sweet Irony
Oh for sure. At the back end of all these discussions is really nothing more than a desire to bash the notion of God or bash humans in general. This idea that any and all aliens have to be benevolent is laughable. . .
Agreed, be their aliens im sure their temperament is just as varied as what we have here on earth
Also to the poster your replying to, it's incredibly self centered to think that any idea put out there is only to discredit your personal interpritation of religion...
Did I make that claim that anyone claimed they were benevolent? Hmmm no, seems to me that I replied to another poster that im sure they are just as varied as our own.......
Its also incredibly ignorant to presume that you know what all my religious and spiritual beliefs are, me making a correlation to what is obviously an interesting comparison in no way implicates anything to my creation beliefs.....
So stop projecting........

So, all you buggers reading this are reading something already thought of and I am typing something programmed into my "subconscious" and it is not actually my thoughts but that of alien/God/Super-human overlords and everything we understand and have been taught is a big fat lie and we have been deliberately deceived.......I KNEW IT!!!
I will remember that when posting replys in the future.
Extra dimensions, gravitons, and tiny black holes Extra dimensions may sound like science fiction, but they could explain why gravity is so weak
all you buggers reading this are reading something already thought of and I am typing something programmed into my "subconscious" and it is not actually my thoughts but that of alien/God/Super-human overlords

I find it Ironic....
Post a thread saying NASA claims that the universe could be created by a powerful race/beings , as a virtual/alternate reality....
50 flags, well received by others "this is perfectly plausible"
Create a thread that we were created by a powerful being written about in old txts?
Get called a stupid foolish religious idiot that believes in a sky god...
Anyone see the hilarious hypocrisy thats glaringly evident.....
No, because the people who wrote the anchient texts were a bunch of wife beating, slave owning pedophiles who thought the earth was flat.
While real life scientists are responsible for ALL the wonders of the modern world...
Actually, all science and scientists can do is work with what the universe--or God--gives them to work with. Big difference. And yeah, if we are going to have a discussion about magic aliens YOU HAVE NEVER PROVEN TO EXIST creating all of reality to...well, who the hell knows why because unlike God they do not tell you why...then I think it's fair to talk about something else you say is made up and completely unproven.

While this is still technically an unknown, mathematicians theorize that pi contains every possible number combination in the universe.
"As it turns out, mathematicians do not yet know whether the digits of pi contains every single finite sequence of numbers. That being said, many mathematicians suspect that this is the case, which would imply not only that the digits of pi contain any number that you can think of, but also that they contains a binary representation of britney spears’ DNA, as well as a jpeg encoded image of you making out with a polar bear. "
Though, even if pi doesn't have this property, it is possible to invent such a number.

Maybe it's better to leave religious discussions in the religion forum . It's a scientific story nothing more...
isnt it a thin line?
If this is plausible is it not plausible that the other could be correct as well?
The issue here is glaringly obvious
People condemn religion and any belief system spawned from it....
Yet will believe this, even tho the premise is almost exactly the same....
Seems to me that science is their religion
So it seems religion is perfectly at play here in both cases........as Enteri so eloquently showed us with his vitriolic retort

You've undoubtedly heard over and over again about what an absurdly complex entity the human brain is. But a new breakthrough by Japanese and German scientists might finally drive the point home. Taking advantage of the almost 83,000 processors of one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, the team was able to mimic just one percent of one second's worth of human brain activity—and even that took 40 minutes.

world of warcraft isnt a simulation. it doesnt model atoms or computers, or anything really.
anyway scale in a 3d videogame is basically arbitrary as its a function of the size of the viewport and the 3d models being rendered.
the point was that to simulate this universe that we live in to the accuracy that our real life technology can detect and measure to. in both scale and as a function of time. would require a computer much larger, billions of times so than the universe as we know it. and or run at a fraction of real time. billions of time slower.
i guess the real argument would be that, we all live in a simulation and our reality in no way simulates the real world, its akin to the "aliens" version of world of warcraft. i think people would be less inclined to believe that.

correction, pi is expressed in our universe. Gotta get down to what these things really are to us, besides strings of #'s. These repeating #'s seem to be layered data of some sort (not like looping),...
