"Are we living in a simulation?" that isn't what this suggests. It suggests a new universe that is every bit as real as the one it was created from and completely separate from its parent, indistinguishable in terms of origin between the two. It also suggests "creation" would be more of an act of nudging a boulder down the cliff, then letting the laws of nature take their course.

THE ULTIMATE AND CLEAR MATHEMATICAL PROOF OF THE FACT THAT E=MC2 IS F=MA: Ultimately and truly, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. SO, time DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. A PHOTON may be placed at the center of THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the SPEED OF LIGHT; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. Great !!! "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=MC2 IS F=MA. Consider the man who IS standing on what is the EARTH/ground. Touch AND feeling BLEND, as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; as E=mc2 IS F=ma. GREAT !!! E=mc2 IS F=ma. The linked AND BALANCED opposite of what is THE SUN is A POINT in the night sky. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. A PHOTON may be placed at the center of THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the SPEED OF LIGHT; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. Therefore, the linked AND BALANCED opposite of what is THE EARTH is ALSO A POINT in the night sky. Great. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=mc2 IS F=ma. Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Accordingly, the Earth AND the Sun are linked AND BALANCED opposites; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Great !!!!!! Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. E=MC2 IS F=MA. The EARTH and the SUN thus constitute and comprise what are the MIDDLE AND THE FULL DISTANCE in/of SPACE (IN BALANCE) in full and BALANCED compliance and conformity with the CLEAR and universal fact that E=mc2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Great !!!! It ALL CLEARLY does make perfect sense. (The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky.) INDEED, BALANCE and completeness go hand in hand. Now, very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. Great. NOW, OVERLAY what is THE EYE in BALANCED RELATION to/WITH what is THE EARTH. Notice the black space of THE EYE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. THE DOME of a person's EYE is ALSO VISIBLE. Now, carefully consider what is the semi-spherical, translucent, QUANTUM GRAVITATIONAL, AND BLUE SKY. Great. E=mc2 IS F=ma. It is CLEAR. THE EARTH is ALSO BLUE (AS WATER). GREAT. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. INSTANTANEITY is thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience, as E=mc2 IS F=ma; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE is proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) GRAVITATIONAL force/energy, as this unifies AND balances gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy; as this balances gravity AND inertia. (This clearly explains BOTH F=ma AND E=mc2, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY !!!) ACCORDINGLY, gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. SO, the BALANCE of being AND EXPERIENCE is essential; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. Our EXPERIENCE is NECESSARILY that of what is the FULL DISTANCE in/of SPACE, AS we are BALANCED between what are THE SUN AND c (A POINT); AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. SO, a given PLANET (INCLUDING WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal areas in equal times; AND this is THEN consistent WITH/as F=ma, E=mc2, AND what is perpetual motion; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=mc2 IS F=ma. BALANCE and completeness go hand in hand. It ALL CLEARLY does make perfect sense. THINK about what is QUANTUM GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/as what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Indeed, gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Therefore, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution !!! Objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Gravitational force/ENERGY is proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Stellar clustering ALSO proves ON BALANCE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. Magnificent !!! E=mc2 IS F=ma. Is a two dimensional surface or SPACE visible or invisible ? The answer is that it is BOTH. So, the electron AND photon are structureless. A PLANET (INCLUDING WHAT IS THE EARTH) is a balanced MIDDLE DISTANCE form in relation to E=mc2 AS F=ma. A PLANET (INCLUDING WHAT IS THE EARTH) is a balanced MIDDLE DISTANCE form in relation to the Sun AND c (A POINT). The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. E=MC2 IS F=MA. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. E=MC2 IS F=MA. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. The BALANCE of being AND EXPERIENCE is essential. The INTEGRATED EXTENSIVENESS of THOUGHT (AND description) is improved in the truly superior mind. INSTANTANEITY is thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience. (THOUGHTS ARE INVISIBLE.) It is a very great truth that THE SELF represents, FORMS, and experiences a COMPREHENSIVE approximation of experience in general by combining conscious and unconscious experience. MOREOVER, the ability of THOUGHT to DESCRIBE OR RECONFIGURE sensory experience is ULTIMATELY dependent upon the extent to which THOUGHT IS SIMILAR TO sensory experience. Beautiful. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. E=mc2 IS F=ma. By Frank DiMeglio

I agree with the general sense of what you're saying. There's no "gradient" of reality implied by such a process. But it also inevitably raises the question of how the environment in which all this presumably happens gets its own existence with its own properties which enable or constrain the creation of subsequent environments. One thing that's clear from this line of speculation is that it can't originate in strict nothingness, because that would also entail an absence of all properties such as the potential for inflation or some other more abstract sort of emergence. Even the most minimal form of bootstrapping requires a nonempty definition. At the other extreme, we can't strictly rule out an "everything is possible" precondition out of which has happened, in our case, to emit a universe with quite coherent properties. It's still only a line of speculation to consider this, but interesting that it can't be ruled out in principle.

I admire Guth, and the interview is interesting. But it has nothing to do with the question in the title, "Are we living in a simulation?" Guth is talking about creating a *real*, independent universe, that follows the laws of physics, not a *simulation* of a universe, running in a computer or other device in the experimenters' universe (which almost instantly gets causally separated from the created universe in Guth's scenario), according to rules/algorithms of the experimenters' choosing.

Neyo Utha by accident I became fascinated with a mechanical effect I observed when I was very young. The mechanical effect takes a sheet of material And I compress it from the end to make it buckle. You might know that this is Euler’s column theory that engineers used to calculate the thickness needed for a column to prevent it from buckling. In field theory the sheet of material would represent a two dimensional field. In engineering a lot of times the area under the curve represents energy. This area increases very rapidly over a short period of time. My process is a variation of Euler’s contain column theory/work. In my model if the containment of the of the curve is not achieved very early then affect does not work. This is the initial condition of my mechanical model. From that point I compress the Buckle. As I compress the buckle and waves start to be produced. this models the quantum mechanics‘s wave function known as particle in a box our quantum particle and I infinite potential well. Please see my video of this mechanical effect. Are use it to build structures and also springs with unique characteristics.

People are thinking of “simulation” too narrowly defined in their mind. It’s just an explanation of “why are we here?”. Simulation doesn’t mean we are in the Sims, being modelled after something, or being looked over by someone. Simulation is just a word to describe the idea that we were created by a “God” who had all the necessary ingredients to make a universe pop into existence from theirs. My guess is that these universes that are created have all different types of properties tied to their fundamental nature. Some of these universes fundamental properties don’t allow for life to form (eg. no entropy), but ones like ours allow for life, which allows that universe to question the most important one of all, why are we here? Who we were modelled after isn’t the question. The question is what fundamental principles of our universe led to make this universe look the way it does?

Even if we are in a simulation, and the entire universe was created by someone outside ours, there still has to be a first. Basically, even if literally everything was different in that universe, there would still have to be a start, and therefor still a question of who created that one, and so on. You can explain infinity, or the idea that time is just an illusion all you want, but in my mind you still have to have a first universe. But like I said,....who created that one? You can't get to the egg part before you have the chicken, and you can't get a chicken without an egg.

All chickens hatch from eggs but not all eggs are derived from chickens. Evolution from the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) eventually branched into egg-laying species which are ancestors to chickens. Before LUCA there was likely chemical evolution. Before chemical evolution, there was inflation of the universe. Before inflation there were quantum fields, which for all we know always existed. Must there be a beginning? No, because otherwise you have to concede that there was once nothing from which existence spawned. Existence must always have been. Religion is superfluous (and I would argue, therefore false).

tombapilot04 Or maybe we are just replacing God with quantum fields in the model? Maybe "quantum fields" are just a single attribute of God in our/your limited understanding. Maybe its the inevitable deduced answer to the equation thats missing more data. Religion is mans physical manifestion of expressing a higher power. Its not suppose to be a scientific proof. Perhaps our inability to understand how quantum theory and general relativity mesh is because we fail to incorporate what binds them. Maybe it is to some degree something of a spiritual notion.....Just a thought. So, I agree, " 'Existence' has always been." And I believe that existence is GOD. And in that idea, religion IS superfluous. But spirituality has always, and in my opinion, will always find its way into mans basic needs. A reminder that God created us with a hole that only He can properly fill.

jamie Russell _"Or maybe we are just replacing God with quantum fields in the model?"_ Well, we can demonstrate that quantum fields exist, but we can't demonstrate any aspect of gods. Seems to me you are just equating "god" with "quantum fields" here and probably do so dishonestly because you have something completely different in mind, such as the Abrahamic superstitions. _"Maybe "quantum fields" are just a single attribute of God in our/your limited understanding."_ And maybe gravity is caused by gravity fairies pulling things together. the time to believe this is when there's evidence. _"Maybe its the inevitable deduced answer to the equation thats missing more data."_ Maybe, but rational decision makers form their beliefs based on what they know, not on what they don't know. It's logically possible that you getting out of bed in the morning will set off a bomb you don't know about, but this is not a reason for you to not get out of bed. _"Religion is mans physical manifestion of expressing a higher power. Its not suppose to be a scientific proof."_ The problem is that it's a useless word. It doesn't allow you to predict a thing about reality. And to try to separate it away from science is just laughable. That directly implies that this "god" of yours never manifests in the physical world and consequently you have zero reason to believe it exists. _"Perhaps our inability to understand how quantum theory and general relativity mesh is because we fail to incorporate what binds them."_ Well, that's not a question of "perhaps". Obviously they are related somehow, otherwise the universe would not exist, but "Something unknown exists" is not a license for you to start making shit up and calling it "god". That approach has a failure rate of 100% in human history. Whether gods have been invoked to explain the movement of the sun and the moon, lightning, tides, natural disasters etc - it doesn't matter - whenever we have gotten an actual understanding of something, it has turned out to not be a divine explanation. _"Maybe it is to some degree something of a spiritual notion.....Just a thought."_ And maybe not. Our previous experience with what kind of explanations bear out in reality suggests that a "spiritual" approach is almost certainly going to be futile. _"So, I agree, " 'Existence' has always been." And I believe that existence is GOD."_ I believe that we should try to create a language that has as little useless equivocation as possible. If "existence is God", then I have a label for it already - "existence" - that can't be conflated with all kinds of laughable bronze age myths. I find my terminology strictly superior to yours. _"And in that idea, religion IS superfluous. But spirituality has always, and in my opinion, will always find its way into mans basic needs."_ I don't even know what "spirituality" means and I certainly have no need of it. Mostly, I think it reduces to the behavior of exceptionally gullible people who will believe anything from astrology to crystal healing etc. _"A reminder that God created us with a hole that only He can properly fill."_ Again, I have no clue what you're talking about, but this sort of sounds like Christian indoctrination speaking, like you're somehow not a complete person if you're not part of their cult. However, this mentality is manufactured by indoctrinating people with the idea that they are malfunctioning creatures to begin with. If you don't harm people psychologically this way, they won't have this idea that they depend on invisible creatures to be full persons and will just go on making the best of their lives. Given how religious belief has a negative correlation with almost all objective measures of societal health, I think this is a good argument for why one should not engage in such indoctrination.

The visualization of a two-dimensional planar universe becoming dimpled and then eventually pinching off into a separate planar universe could use a slightly more detailed explanation. The first thing that was pointed out - and it's important - is that the dimple isn't really in a higher dimension like that used in this visualization. It's more like an elastic distortion of the plane - at least, from the viewpoint if anyone on the plane, the two are indistinguishable. So you don't end up with two parallel planes, much as that seems geometrically plausible. What you have instead is a consequence of how any interval in any dimension has the same cardinality as any other, regardless of size. So in the limit you can have a plane lying within an infinitesimal interval of some other plane. I don't see how it would be unavailable to the enclosing plane, however.

If we are living in a simulation -- and there is evidence that we are from the huge numbers of glitches that have been reported (I have experienced some myself) -- then the "laws of physics" that we deduce are actually "laws of the physical aspects of the simulation." We can't therefore argue that these laws are fundamental, if they can easily be changed or violated at the whim of the simulation.

Guth explains in one video how the gravitational energy can be negative. Look at his videos about inflation and you will find it. Basically you can extract energy form negative gravitational energy. We know for a fact from studying the flatness of the cosmic microwave background that the universe is flat with a precision of more than 1 percent, which means that the total energy is close to 0 indeed.

as others have commented, this is not a “simulation.” this sounds to me like a plausible explanation around what could happen at a singularity of a black hole, and how our universe may have just been created when a black hole formed in some other universe. black holes don’t evaporate instantly though, and are thought to slowly evaporate over trillions of years or something. but perhaps a small amount of matter may be squeezed through some quantum tunnel inside a black hole, right when it initially forms.

A simulation would be, by definition, simulating something. This kind of creates the impression that there is a 'real' version of us somewhere, walking around, doing what we do. Seems to me that a more plausible speculation is that our condition is not what we have hitherto taken it to be - we misconstrue the appearance of existence. I don't necessarily have a suggestion as to what existence consists of in actuality, but scientific endeavour seems to have led us to the point of realisation that the material universe is illusory.

+mysterymediacorp ok - like the Nick Bostrum idea you mean? That would still mean the 'real' us would have to have existed at one point and the problem with that is you'd have to account for what existence consisted of at that point. By definition it could not be what it consists of now, because what it is now, is a simulation. Ergo, what it is now is not _actually_ a simulation.

mysterymediacorp "why couldn't 'now' be a simulation of what was?" Because you're left with the question of 'what was' consisted of. Also this not being a simulation would not necessarily mean that development in VR was halted. After all if this is a simulation but mans advancements in VR were halted, how come we're here at all? It just means that this is not in fact a simulation. That doesn't stop it from being an illusion though - or rather not what we have hitherto taken it to be.

I have never understood how physicists came to that conclusion. How is the total energy 0, when the universe is expanding exponentially, and there is no indication that it will stop or reverse. This suggests a polarity, or energy in some direction (energy/dark energy , negative/positive). I have a lot of thinking to do.

@Battery9876

The total energy of the universe is said to be 0 ( the gravitational potential energy is negative and compensates for the positive energy ), but maybe not exactly zero. It may have started with a strict minimum of energy which would have started the inflation. For more info regarding cosmology, you can watch Susskind's videos, like watch ? v=rYQTAJ50A44. The last cosmology lecture is about inflation if you're interested in the basics. My 2 cents...

So doesn't this imply that all black holes are just the 'necks' of our universe feeding into new universe bubbles, to be finally pinched off [evaporated black hole] to create new ones? There are countless black holes out there - we don't even know how many. If they are all creating new bubble universes, doesn't sound much different than boiling water. Some galactic entity is making tea.

So, even if this naturally evolved species created the Universe, and even if we choose to call it "god" (with our without capitalization) all the major religions would still have been incorrect about the nature of this "god".

Space is a calculation done by consciousness in order to interpret the data that comes into it. It is a mathematical function defined by the larger consciousness system (LCS). Scientists are expecting to see the edge of the Universe and they will never find it because is all virtual and it generates itself as long as you stare at it. It’s like AutoCAD model space. It’s infinite and a virtual generated space. As crazy as that sounds the Space is the same and consciousness is the computer.
