Raaaid, I know you like this kinda stuff so think on this....

Think how far computer games have come in such a short time, it wasnt so long ago the only computer game available was pong in black and white.

Imagine how good they will be in say 200-300 yrs !

How easy would it be to distiguish "real life" from being in game ?

Now back to todays computers.
Just imagine your conciousness was within a computer game, online with millions of others, with you being unaware that you were ingame. Scientists "within game" trying to work out the meaning of the universe and existence would probably deduce that the universe was built upon built upon a series of 0 and 1`s. Its not that far removed from Schrödinger's Cat is it.

Now lets go forward in time 300 yrs, Quantum computers are old technology, unimaginable advances have been made, What would it feel like to ge "ingame" now ?
Would you really be able to know if you existence was "real".

Today scientists are trying to understand our universe. The more they look the less they understand.
Hell they dont even know where most of the universe is, its invisible to us, Dark matter and Dark energy are hidden to us. The higgs boson is deceptively ellusive. Gravity isnt as powerful as theories suggest, perhaps its spread out across multiple dimensions.
Particles behave as both particles and waves, and seem to change their behavior depending if they have been observed or not. Perhaps we are all one, woven together from space and time, perhaps we live in a multiverse. Or perhaps its all just a game.

Computer games are real life as well by the way. Everything human created is part of our real lives.

[raaaid]

oh yeah ive seen life as a game for a long time

this thread is a complaing by these guys pretending to be aliens or cia agents or som,ething

hell this line confused me so much:

"Without giving away too much, one of those things happens to be the realization that what other people refer to as your insanity is in fact their insanity for not realizing the new intellectual and cognitive ground you are breaking."

Raaid, I reply in most of your threads because they are unique.

I can honestly say that you ask the questions nobody even thinks of.

My favourite threads are, in no particular order (I haven't made any of these up)


if the mayas were crossed eyed and binocular could they tell star distance just looking?

dr emoto and subliminals on clothes

a thought: what takes longer: to operate a very light wheel or a 100kg lever

Zebras are better then horses

what would you prefer photo realistic graphics or graphics designed by
vangogh

And the waaaaay too sensible..

did succesive patches ruin turning rate of 109?

It wouldn't be the same around here without the odd raaaaaaid thread. Even the ones I don't understand.

I'm with whoarmongar - Everythings connected, the universe is wierd, people are wierd and we know very little about the fundementals. At least you're having a good look around on your journey, there's plenty with blinkers on.

It might just take somebody wierd to work it all out However the answer isn't on TV or youtube - think bigger.
