The Simulation Theory May Suggest That God Exists by NnennaG6(f): 5:26pm On Mar 10, 2019
So i was watching a movie about a week ago titled "The Thirteenth Floor", and its been on mind for quite some time. Now i've come to a conclusion: We are living in a simulated reality and experiments already carried out prove it.

Crazy right? If that caught your attention stick with me a while and I'll walk you through it.

Particles react one way when being viewed by a human.

Particles react differently when not viewed by a human.

PROOF:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc

Particles fired down experimental tubes unaware if a human would be at the end, measured at the start of the tube and the end of the tube.

When there was a human at the end the particle acted like there would be a human at the end even when it didn't know there would be because it would only find out in the future if a human was present.

When fired down the same tube with no human at the end to watch, the particle was measured acting the way it does when no human is present at the beginning and at the end, before it could possibly know there would be no human present.

PROOF:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7Z_TIw9InA.

Just like when you are looking down a road in a computer game, everything that's behind you in said computer game isn't there because it's not on screen, the particles aren't "on" because you are not looking at them, if you then turn around they are on, you can't however catch them unaware that you are going to turn them "on." they know in advance. This is how all particles work.

So what would need to be true if this were a simulation. One day the world would just start like a computer turning on. It would be off one minute and on the next kind of like a big bang.

What else would be true? The entire world we exist in would be entirely mathematical because it's held on a computer and is made up of code. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe_hypothesis

The world would be entirely made up of coded laws, like gravity, enersia and there would be a speed limit just like the speed of light, because there is a maximum speed at which a computer can run like all computers. When traveling at the speed of light we believe time slows down, just like when you are near large amounts of mass such as a black hole. Why would time slow down? Because of the limitations on our simulator. Traveling at the fastest speed possible and being next to large mass would require large amounts of processing power taxing our simulation slowing it down.

Would we see computer code in the world we live in? We've already found it. String theory which is earths best mathematical explanation for the world we live in has computer code in it.

PROOF:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvMlUepVgbA

This is a computer simulation.

Having established this,
1)If we were in a simulation then doesn't that follow that the creator(s) of that simulation should be GOD(S) to us?
2)If the creators of simulations are considered GOD(s) are we GODS too if we can create them?

I have Earth as a Many Worlds Simulation. There's no intelligent life in our Universe because it's a Simulation of a population of humans. This simulation was created by and is maintained by highly intelligent and technologically advanced interdimensional entities hidden in the higher dimensions outside of our human perception .. and sometimes we get a look behind the veil when we see an unidentified arial vehicle etc doing patch work here.

As far as religion goes.. well religion is fucking cancer. It causes war; division rather than unity; child abuse; terrorism etc.

God aka the Creator of the Sim sends his Son Jesus into the Sim to advise humanity of the rules (Commandments) and provides him with cheat codes so people will take him seriously.. walking on water.. water into wine.. healing.. resurrection etc

There is no Hell. That is a social/population control mechanism. A true and just God would not banish souls to hell for all eternity. Especially not a God of Love and Forgiveness.

Heaven is outside of our dimensions of physically defined space and time. The highest dimension. Where the Creator lives.

Of course, if this is a simulation, it follows that creators of this simulation in a basic sense of the word are Gods.

However, this also suggests that there is a much realer reality, that is the reality upon which the framework of this simulation is built.

Like our reality is to a game.

This suggests a much realer universe, a reality of the creators.

Heck, the world of the creators could be one out of a nigh infinite number just like ours in this universe.

The creators of this simulation may be one out of a countless others that exist in their universe.

This is even consistent with my idea of a hyper space and time

This however takes us back to the very primary question we have always asked.

How did this real universe begin?

Curious points here......

SImulation Hypothesis claims that we are simulated , aka created, that there is a simulator somewhere processing some kind of data and creating us......

This is a type of creationism. So if we are going to accept that the simulation hypothesis could be true , then we have to accept that at least some kind of creationism must be in play.......

You simply can not play the simulation game if you have no computer. Just as you need a computer to run ( = create) the game you also need a simulator to create this universe............

I like NnennaG6's musings. A point I would like to develop is the certainty of everyrhing if we are in a simulated environment. That means the ceator(s) know the exact response to every action as it is in the codes. What if it is programmed that if the character believes in the existence of the creator, it gets upgraded at the end of the level to ....... Lol. What if the characters were programmed to think and act the way they do. Just the way the particle responds 'not knowing' if there will be human presence or not. Are we then really agents of free thought? grin

Crazy musings @johnydon22. grin It's mind blowing thinking about how many levels of reality could exist out there. In recent times I have found myself dreaming of events that would occur the next day. Has my programme been tweaked to give me an advantage or was I programmed to do this before now.? grin I totally agree that this our reality is never all there is to reality. The levels of reality might be more than we can fathom with the limited processing power of our microcosm of a universe. I however also believe that we are products of a creator. That means we are from the thought process of a superior being. If there is a part of the code that gets me translated from merely participating on the interface to being part of the creator, won't that mean eternal life? *crazy thoughts* lol

Now, consider again the futility of the characters in this simulation trying to fully comprehend the creator if the creator does not include that possibility in the simulation. Interesting topic really!

Further to my earlier comment on how shallow your comment is, is it not thought provoking to you that despite how ridiculous your statement about religion, God and His Son sounds, billions of people are ready to die believing it? Religion remains one of the strongest forces of both good and evil (if there is anything like good and evil).

I believe this discussion is beyond experential logic and reasoning. It requires depth of thought beyond our experiences!

You are claiming that a simulation could come into existence on its own. ( Which is another debate ) That's not the simulation hypothesis.

Simulation hypothesis is based on some beings deliberately creating a sim.

Basically the hypothesis says " if we can build computers that can run realistic simulations , then someone else must have been able to do that too, and they may have created us, therefore we could be in a sim".

That someone else could be us in another life/ dimension/ universe or some other beings , but no matter who they might be they are the creators. = This is creationism.

Maybe its not exactly the creationism as we are used to hear from religious people as stated in bible or other religious books , but it still is creationism.

Now don't twist it , i am not defending any religious ideology here, and i am personally an atheist , but we have to be objective about it and when all the evidence suggest that this must be the case then we can not deny it just because it goes against our belief system.

cc Ihedinobi3 et al
I appreciate the mention, Nnenna. It is very much appreciated indeed, but I'm a Christian. Speculations of this sort hold little interest for me. I am about as grateful and interested in science as any other person, and I may know more about it than the average person because of my antecedents, but I don't decide my theology on the basis of science at all.

Philosophy too is interesting to me because of its seductiveness to smart believers. Satan always crafts his attacks to suit his targets. Where he would not gain much from attacking a simple believer with philosophy, he does gain a great deal from attacking intelligent ones with the same thing. For the simple, superstition works extraordinarily well. For the sophisticated, science and philosophy work the same. Philosophy has the weakness of being creature-made. It simply offers alternatives to the biblical explanation of life. Of course, because of how elaborate and flowery it can be, it presents an certain feel of legitimacy that seduces those who should know better. But this does not need to be. The Bible is a most elegant philosophy on its own. Additionally, it is completely and perfectly true where the speculations of men and demons are never authoritative.

So, my answer is that we are not in a simulation at all. The Bible is unequivocal about the fact that we are all here to make a choice. In the end, a new Universe will be made where those who choose the Lord will reign with Him throughout eternity, and others will be deposited in a Lake of Fire for eternity as well.

That really is the big picture. The fantasies and horror stories that people make up have nothing to do with reality.

One thing that later generations might do with their super-powerful computers is run detailed simulations of their forebears or of people like their forebears.

I don't know about simulation hypothesis: however, it can be seen that everything is programmed.
From atoms, to elements, to compounds and molecular, to DNA, to water cycle, oxygen cycle, food chain/cycle, periodicity of planets, humans etc.

Me, I see a great programmer: for order cannot come out of chaos without an "intelligent application of force"!

So i was watching a movie about a week ago titled "The Thirteenth Floor", and its been on mind for quite some time. Now i've come to a conclusion: We are living in a simulated reality and experiments already carried out prove it.

Crazy right? If that caught your attention stick with me a while and I'll walk you through it.

Particles react one way when being viewed by a human.

Particles react differently when not viewed by a human.

PROOF:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc

Particles fired down experimental tubes unaware if a human would be at the end, measured at the start of the tube and the end of the tube.

When there was a human at the end the particle acted like there would be a human at the end even when it didn't know there would be because it would only find out in the future if a human was present.

When fired down the same tube with no human at the end to watch, the particle was measured acting the way it does when no human is present at the beginning and at the end, before it could possibly know there would be no human present.

PROOF:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7Z_TIw9InA.

Just like when you are looking down a road in a computer game, everything that's behind you in said computer game isn't there because it's not on screen, the particles aren't "on" because you are not looking at them, if you then turn around they are on, you can't however catch them unaware that you are going to turn them "on." they know in advance. This is how all particles work.

So what would need to be true if this were a simulation. One day the world would just start like a computer turning on. It would be off one minute and on the next kind of like a big bang.

What else would be true? The entire world we exist in would be entirely mathematical because it's held on a computer and is made up of code. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe_hypothesis

The world would be entirely made up of coded laws, like gravity, enersia and there would be a speed limit just like the speed of light, because there is a maximum speed at which a computer can run like all computers. When traveling at the speed of light we believe time slows down, just like when you are near large amounts of mass such as a black hole. Why would time slow down? Because of the limitations on our simulator. Traveling at the fastest speed possible and being next to large mass would require large amounts of processing power taxing our simulation slowing it down.

Would we see computer code in the world we live in? We've already found it. String theory which is earths best mathematical explanation for the world we live in has computer code in it.

PROOF:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvMlUepVgbA

This is a computer simulation.

Having established this,
1)If we were in a simulation then doesn't that follow that the creator(s) of that simulation should be GOD(S) to us?
2)If the creators of simulations are considered GOD(s) are we GODS too if we can create them?

I don't accept the logical path this conclusion follows hence I don't accept the simulation theory. Just the energy required to maintain such a simulation should be incomprehensibly prohibitive.

JujuSugar:

Not exactly, sir......

You are claiming that a simulation could come into existence on its own. ( Which is another debate ) That's not

That someone else could be us in another life/ dimension/ universe or some other beings , but no matter who they might be they are the creators. = This is creationism.

Maybe its not exactly the creationism as we are used to hear from religious people as stated in bible or other religious books , but it still .

Once you accept creationism, you're toast. The walls of atheism comes crashing down! There is no fence to sit on here!

You are in a dire situation here. Are you also discounting the results of a scientific research? On what basis does your atheism stand then?

Sure


No. That is the simulation argument. Simulation hypothesis simply states that we are living in a simulation. Nothing more.

It is inconclusive to state that simulation is all there is. Simple logic tells us if there is a simulation, there must be a simulator!

Here’s a more poetic perspective on Good’s existence:

The theory makes sense. I might add too that 'Linear Time' is a feature of that simulation. In the real world outside the simulation, there is no 'before' and 'after'. Everything is occurring at the same 'time', or what some writer termed ''the Eternal Now''.

That explains the bible verse that says 'a thousand years is like a day to God'.
