🤔 analytical speaking, yes - we are aware of our existence...thoughts transcends into consciousness, consciousness into being, of self awareness, of existence. (Knowing)

@@panismith1544 Ah, but all "we" directly know are sensations, sights, sounds, smells, textures, thoughts that seem to occur in "our heads", etc. From these sensations it is inferred that there is an inside (an individual "consciousness"), and an outside (an environment, a physical universe if you like). Both of these inferences require a great leap of faith to swallow. In reality, we don't know anything at all for certain. This "I think therefore I am" business is utter nonsense. Descartes might as well have said , "I stink therefore I am!" All he was saying really is , "I therefore I". It was just his ego assertion - the equivalent of a "selfie" in terms of its supposed "profundity".

our consciousness comes from out side...our brain is just an antenna

We experience the body and it's functions because it's aspects of our awareness. Turn of sight for example, sight is gone. Turn of it all, it's all gone. Thus, non self is the baseline, and the full body mind/universe state, is created FOR the awareness to experience. There really is no outside world, it's all inside the mind. It's existence depends on the knower of it

@@bobaldo2339 you do a disservice. You can doubt everything in existance except your own existence. Since doing so would require you to exist in the first place.

He said "this is not just wild speculation, but a theory that scientists take very seriously." You misrepresent his meaning when you cherry pick the part of the quote.

@@3raxha, the feedback is appreciated, but my comment was directed at the source of this entire debate, not the video. Gerard ’t Hooft is a nice fellow, and quite humble, so I flatly cannot picture him claiming in his original paper the idea he had just proposed was necessarily a “serious theory.” Later, sure, a lot of folks - and, especially, Professor Leonard Susskind - jumped on his wild speculation like bees on honey. That tends to happen when Nobel Laureates come up with some ideas that sound incredibly fun to explore, maybe for decades. Also, think about what you just said. Did you address my point that classical bits require machinery, complexities, and masses at least in the range of an atom or so - chemical bonds, for example - to qualify as “bits”? Or did you appeal to a social belief system - “some people say” as sufficient? (And no, electron spins are not “bits” until you acknowledge the mass and complexity of the magnetic field generator needed to orient the spins. A common mistake, that.) Finally, don’t forget that Wheeler’s Planck foam speculation was rather spectacularly disproven - by more than three orders of magnitude - by the 2020 HAWC Collaboration study of spacetime smoothness using extreme cosmic gamma rays. If space is 2000 times too smooth to support any kind of structure at the supposed “Planck” scale - kudos to Einstein on that win - why is anyone even talking about Planck-scale uncertainty suddenly transforming itself into the fundamental unit of infinitely precise classical certainty, better known as a “bit”? The real problem is sunk cost. If an idea fails spectacularly in the lab, but you and folks around you have invested entire careers in it, do you say, “Oops, sorry everyone, HAWC just proves the Planck scale doesn’t exist, so as of today, we’re shutting down all of our graviton and ‘super’ string research. Sorry about that!” Of course not. That’s not human nature. Instead, you come up with an excuse, perhaps to “explore” the “beauty” of math on the premise that since math, unlike grubby experimental physics, is “perfect” and thus must, surely, somehow, someday figure out the solution _regardless_ of what grubby experiments say. So, again: It’s nice that a lot of folks took Professor ’t Hooft’s idea seriously, but that was never the question. The question is whether Planck-scale regions of supposedly pure uncertainty - which have been soundly proven by good data not to exist - have a plausible mechanism by which they can flip in the opposite direction and suddenly become extremely classical devices with sufficient mass and structure to retain a yes-no distinction indefinitely. My vote is no.

​@@smileifyoudontexist6320 how high are you right now?

We discovered that Earth is round more than 2000 years ago

You are looking at only one side and not at the whole scenario back then.

No one believed that the Earth was flat, at least since the ancient greeks.

Ancient Greece mathematically proved the Earth was round, 2000 years ago. Many scientific principles will likely be building blocks but not completely replaced. But overall I agree, it would be very interesting to know how wrong we are on things we take as fact today. I think about that all the time Edit: Just realized somebody else beat me to it. Should have read the comments.

they're saying it isn't even flat though, just a hemisphere, which is absurd whichever way you cut it.

Well then how would you explain a black hole sucking up another black hole?

Not sure how destroying stars collects information on them. Besides if they made a sim via a Quantum Computer that had stars, then they already have all the information they need. The reasons why they'd run this sim this big and for this long is unknown...

Its like fuzzy blackholes. I think that's a simplification of their explanation.

The theory of everything according to humans that believe their intellect evolved from a monkey's brain. If the light waves from the sun were 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of Einstein's space-time then people on Earth are just imagining the infrared warmth of the sun coming up on the horizon. The communications delay between Earth and Mars is approximately 20 minutes. We're either viewing the light from Mars in the future, Einstein's past dimensions of space-time or in real time, which do you think is more logical? Einstein's relativity is wrong light has no limitation of speed; it cannot be slowed down because it isn't moving. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions. Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. According to Einstein's relativity-time dilation's, photos taken of the Earth from the Discovery Space station traveled from the past to the future violating the laws of physics, conservation of energy and common sense. According to Einstein's projectile light particle proton light has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime, but if light has a (constant speed) then moving clocks cannot run slow through spacetime! :-) The speed of light according to Einstein's relativity is 186,000 miles per second, but according to physics if two mechanical watches were synchronized on earth and one traveled across the universe and back, there would be no difference in time between the mechanical watches proving the speed of light is instantaneous as the only way a mechanical watch will run slow is if you tighten the main spring. Big Bang, Einstein's relativity-time dilation and nearly all of science debunked. Using optical clocks, lasers and GPS to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing. If the speed of light is constant then past and future dimensions of spacetime and an expanding universe would not be possible, obviously destroying the twins paradox as each twin cannot move faster or slower than the other. Einstein would have made a great used car salesman :-) Light waves can stretch, bend-curve and occupy a state of superposition, whereas the hypothetical Einstein projectile light particle (photon), a particle that has never been observed cannot. Unlike a TV or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of frames that create the appearance of a moving image. There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just video recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. Neither time, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. Time and space are independent of each other, not material bodies or fantasy unions that magically stretch Time, energy, and matter like a rubber band into space-time dimensions. Monkey see monkey do, the science of monkeys have brainwashed you. Will the James Webb Telescope view the birth of the first galaxies? Nope, the universe goes on to infinity. Neither time, the atom, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. The James Webb Space Telescope is not a time machine, you can’t travel back in time to view the beginning of the universe with telescopes that were made in the future :-). Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. If science uses Einstein's wrongly theorized speed of light like an odometer to calculate past dimensions of distance and time, then using that same method to calculate forward dimensions of distance and time would mean the Big Bang was created and expanded in the future before time existed. Unlike a television or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of still image frames that hypothetical Einstein projectile light particles photons create to give us the appearance of a moving image :-). The speed of electromagnetic wave is 186,282 miles per second vs Einstein's projectile light particle proton at 186,000 miles per second. Is this a coincidence or did Einstein plagiarize yet another phenomenon to fit the math of relativity? Electromagnetic waves in space can neither slow down or speed up, this is consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If light slowed down, its energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy so the speed of light is instantaneous and cannot travel slower than it does. If Einstein's projectile light (particle photon) had mass it's light could not travel across the universe, high speed particles traveling at 186,000 miles per second would break the Hubble and James Webb telescope mirrors, debunking the speed of light, Big Bang, Einstein's relativity and any science that uses relativity in their theories. Everyone knows cell phone electromagnetic radio waves travel both ways, yet Einstein's disciples believe time energy, mass and light can only travel one way back in time. If you simply run the Big Bang theory in reverse you reveal the insanity of Einstein's relativity and Big Bang theory. If the expansion of the Big Bang were true, time, energy, mass and light would be in the future from the vantage point of an expanding singularity-Big Bang and planet Earth would now reside in a past dimension of Einstein's time dilation (moving clocks run slow) space-time 13.8 billion years ago :-). It's truly amazing how the science and politics of the left are able to keep people denying reality, there are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space, yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. Pretending not to notice the gross contradictions-pseudoscience in Relativity is typical of Einstein's disciples, devaluing the source of any information that's in contradiction with their beliefs-theories. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. If the light from the universe travels to past dimensions of time then it's light is also traveling into future dimensions of time (instantaneously). “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” a state of superposition where time and gravity run inwardly, outwardly, in all directions in the same time frame, similar to the electromagnetic field having no beginning and no end. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" Revelation 22:13. Disciples, remember thy 1st commandment, thou shalt not question thy lawgiver of relativity for blasphemers are the devil's pawn. Let thee not dwell in dissension of our Lord Albert, shun them, drive them back to their jungle lair amen.

The Qu'ran

Even Einstein said Gravitational Force is an illusion. Gravity does not pull anything - Space pushes.

Not sure where you are headed with this comment. However, it is true, that Gravity is not necessarily a force. It’s a matter of preference and perhaps semantics among physicists.

If that was true dart would if went through the astroid not boom into it as well as cassini would of came out the other end of Saturn unscathed.

@@michaelfried3123 your opinion. Respectfully, I would bet you are not well read on the subject. But let me ask you a question. Does information (entropy) when crossing over the event horizon unable to return, disappear forever from the universe? BTW, not a rubbish question.. if your answer is yes, it changes almost everything we know of physics. The 2nd law of thermodynamics, the conservation of energy. So, you can’t tell us the question is rubbish, and if your answer to the question is no, then by all means, what is a possible solution to the paradox other than the Holographic Principal? I await. Granted, it’s not easy to understand and why Brian Greens video is a terrible attempt. You must have a basis of understanding, anti de sitter space, Hawking radiation and other prerequisite subjects. Why I recommended Lennard Susskind book. It took he and several other 30:years to come up with “accepted” solution by the far majority of theoretical physicists, not philosophers. Confession? I had to read the book twice before I really could grasp the concept, forget the math. We have to be in Awe of such brilliant minds, Susskind, Guth, Linde, Ed Witten, Kip Thorn, Sean Carroll, May Tagmark. Amazing, mind blowing reality in which we reside and we are only are beginning our journey. So, don’t diminish their accomplishments. Their entire lives devoted to contributions, both incremental but nevertheless, so important to progress, understanding.

@@Ascendlocal mic drop :)

When a photon passes through a polarizing filter, the information about its previous polarization is lost. Why shouldn't information disappear? Is there an "information conservation" principle?

@@andsalomoni Yes, in the classical world, information can indeed be copied or deleted anytime and at will. However, in the quantum world, information cannot be created nor destroyed. So there is the Principal, “conservation of quantum information”. And as you already understand, Quantum physics is the reduction, underlying Newtonian physics or our normal perception of reality

Brian rides waves of none of his breakthrough

The one thing that does not need a “theory” or hypothesis to verify its reality: We move and have our being in a holographically projected simulated universe. All we need to study is light in all its expressions and how we perceive it. ✨👁✨ “Cones and rods are two types of photoreceptors within the retina. This means that they are responsible for receiving signals (or images), processing them, and sending them to the brain. The cone and the rod serve different purposes to work towards the same goal: helping you see!” And this is only a sliver of the electromagnetic light spectrum that the eyeballs could process. Within this holographically projected simulated universe, every image that one sees is just a “signal” captured by the eyeball, in which the brain translates into a workable image. The brain doesn’t see the actual image of anything, it only interprets the various photonic particles (pixels) it can, which is very limited. On a quantum level, everything we perceive in life is just an simulation of light itself, and this can happen in analog or digitally. Those who are throwing around “the simulation hypothesis” today are only referring to digital gaming technology to correlate their musings, while dismissing or ignoring the analog. It’s much more simpler that that. The study of light in all its various expressions, and how the brain and its eyeballs function in relation to such light, tells us all we need to know to prove we’re living in a simulation. ✨👁✨ Now, there are two roads before us: You can choose to remain as a Simulation, or you can choose to become an Emanation... for this you need to employ the technology of the science of Authentic Tantra.

You are actually right if you are an observer from the outside looking at, observing a person falling in. Why, because time comes to a standstill from the observers point of view (General relativity). However, if you are the person falling in, then yes, you pass (spatially) through the event horizon, a mathematical vector in 4D, 3 of space 1 of time. But once you pass the event horizon, you can never communicate with the observer on the outside of the event horizon, yet you continue to fall further and with exponentially greater velocity. (to your death of course as your body mass is pulled apart first to it’s constituent parts, atoms and from there we don’t know because there is no Grand Unified Theory) Weird stuff, huh?

@@Ascendlocal It's pretty neat. I'm not good with the math part, I'm just a dude. But it did seem that even if I were the person falling in, I still couldn't cross the event horizon. The way in imagining it is like a vortex of water going down a drain. The water being analogous to space and anything in the water being analogous to anything in space. It looks like a funnel with a wide mouth on top and a point at bottom. The bottom is the singularity and the wide mouth is what we observe as the black hole. Now, in water you can jump that gap in the tunnel where there's no water, from the vortex. But if space is doing that in the form of a black hole, then nothing can jump the gap because there's no space there. Follow? In a water vortex, you can fall into the vortex, but essential all your doing is orbiting a center of nothing due to the rapid rotation of the vortex. In space, if a black hole is just a vortex made of space itself, then from observer view nothing "falls" in. But if I'm "falling in", even from my point of view my orbit only gets smaller and faster around a center of "no space", and it seems like I'd be getting smaller and smaller along with the space as it is contracting at the bottom of the funnel, assuming I can survive of course. I wish I could learn the math lol

@@justinbyrge8997 no, I think you are spot on..Forget.the math. The water vortex is.a great analogy. It's very similar to that effect. But the black hole's gravity is pulling towards the singularity. It becomes so intense, the gravitational effects on your feet are exponential to the effect on your head, assuming you are entering feet first. The force is truly amazingly incomprehensible. and no one knows what singularity is. Is it a "white hole" spewing out matter or another big bang of a new or another universe? We don't know

@@Ascendlocal What's at the bottom of a water vortex that we find in a lake or ocean? Now think of a water vortex with no land at the bottom. That's your answer 😁 OK, where's my money? Lol

@@justinbyrge8997 no one knows. That's why they call it singularity. Translated..it means. We don't know. This is the Grand Unification Theory every single theoretical physicist and particle physicist is trying to solve. But rest assured, it's at the quantum mechanical level. It's not some imagined landscape of utopia

Dude I'm all for this. The more you actually look around and pay attention to people. Fuck me no way that's not an npc just running programs. I use this example every time. I like pokemon cards. Ever week I go to walmart to check the new stock. They put the cards in an aisle that's a self checkout but it's the big ones with the table. There are 5 others right next to it. Plus all the smaller self checkouts. So many times Ive been there with 2 empty big rows and half the smaller ones are open. There will be 2 people in line and another person will walk up and get in line!! Wtf no thinking agent is gonna stand in that line. I'm dead serious I really think those are npcs. Just there to be in my way. I've thought about going up to random people and saying hey can I come see your house. Lol I would never but man no way there are 8 billion people with minds like mine. They're just drones filling up my world. Anyway I've been telling people this and some agree and I get some weird looks too. Nice to see others are aware of this

@@thermalrain_yt9725 it’s kinda weird talking to another person who feels this way… because shouldn’t we both feel like the person were replying to is an NPC? It makes sense in a coding perspective though. A lot of human consciousness is defined by following routines, patterns, normalcy, etc. that’s why political parties work so well and why social trends happen. In coding, it would be much easier to make the AI path in ways that eliminate excess calculations. Using your example of checkout lines; the program would have to specifically calculate which lanes are empty and which has at least one person in line. It would have to also calculate whether or not the lines themselves are open or not. If a lane is empty it would have to calculate if that lane is closed or if there’s simply no one there. And if no lanes are empty, it would have to calculate which lane would be the shortest to wait in. So it’s just much easier for the ‘program’ to decide "there are people in that line, it MUST be operational, I will use that". Hell maybe you and I ARE NPCs, just programmed to be the ones who are able to find those empty lines and be the first one in them, allowing for the lesser developed ‘programs’ to easily path to us.

Simulation run by whom? It's more senseful to say that we are living an illusion. We are superposing a dream to actual reality. We are dreaming with our eyes open.
