    Default Re: Is our Universe a Computer Simulation?

    Normally these posts end up in the 'question of lithium' thread, but for today, this one will go here, as it is relevant.

    Regarding opto-quantum computers. The march is relentless. Elon talks about the singularity issue, where probability lines have separated and move back to the single point, and then the given event, and then they move outward again.

    This is akin to how I deal with the psychic trick of future sense. I describe it (strong probability event) like a small rock dropped into the idea of time, as we know it. The ripples move outward from that point (both forward and back, and also to the sides, up and down, ie alternate dimensions and timelines), or knot of energies. Part of one angle of view of the two ...or pair of two-d sheet/fields in apparent spin interaction, that make up the torus or spinning olive that we have used as a visualization technique......and the interactions which are out of sight in the common egoic linear unidirectional time-space view that the majority of the world shares on a day to day basis..that is the normal view of time. The creation of our past, our history. That dropped rock (knot as intense event) and then ripples can also be seen from the now as future probability. likened exactly to how we see our past.

    That your viewpoint in day to day waking egoic life and interaction in the 3d world is based on a common unidirectional ideal, which is based upon systems that are built out of timeless 2d systems in integration, or, to restate: the underlying system your reality and consciousness ride on, are 'out of time'.

    (look at my avatar, that's why I chose it, it's similarity to a visualization for such systems)

    With regard to the energetic knot or small rock dropped into the 2d timeless field sheets in interaction, the ripples spread backward in time, ie, our history that is seemingly immutable (from our particular time based viewpoint)... they also move into collision with the unidirectional forward motion, in the form of slowly resolving probability. To recall the future, likewise, like a bad or ill remembered memory. To fathom the future from the probability mix, exactly likened to memory recall.

    In our latest findings on memory, we find that recalling a memory in the system of the human brain, permanently alters it, it changes it. The refreshing of the memory reshapes it.

    We will find that future probability 'recall', Like I experience, reshapes it, it changes the probability, ie equal/matched expansion of the forward wave of the collective boat of the human now... in the timestream.

    Which is why the esoteric aspects of the controlling structure of humanity is always so eager to control the current now view of humanity, as it equals the act of steering humanity through time and probability. That humanity can be driven to a future that they desire, into actual seen probability lines, or not.

    Thus, the desire for quantum computers to control (or explore) probability, as quantum systems involve spooky action at a distance. Exactly as that of the human psychic timeline sensing of premonition. To resolve probability in time. Artificial mind, AI.. and time-sensing in one single spot. However, therein lies a danger, if some of you understand the idea of what a human might actually be.

    Physicists observe behavior of quantum materials in curved space

Achieving this state with light instead of matter was an important step in developing computing and other applications from quantum phenomena.

    Light and matter are typically viewed as distinct entities that follow their own, unique rules. Matter has mass and typically exhibits interactions with other matter, while light is massless and does not interact with itself. Yet, wave-particle duality tells us that matter and light both act sometimes like particles, and sometimes like waves.

    Harnessing the shared wave nature of light and matter, researchers at the University of Chicago, led by Jonathan Simon, the Neubauer Family Assistant Professor of Physics, have used light to explore some of the most intriguing questions in the quantum mechanics of materials. The topic encompasses complex and non-intuitive phenomena that are often difficult to explain in non-technical language, but which carry important implications to specialists in the field.

    In work published online this week in the journal Nature, Simon's group presents new experimental observations of a quantum Hall material near a singularity of curvature in space.

    Quantum effects give rise to some of the most useful and promising properties of materials: They define standard units of measurement, give rise to superconductivity and describe quantum computers. The quantum Hall materials are one prominent example in which electrons are trapped in non-conducting circular orbits except at the edges of the material. There, electrons exhibit quantized resistance-free electrical conduction that is immune to disorder such as material impurities or surface defects.

    Furthermore, electrons in quantum Hall materials do not transmit sound waves but instead have particle-like excitations, some of which are unlike any other particles ever discovered. Some of these materials also exhibit simultaneous quantum entanglement between millions of electrons, meaning that the electrons are so interconnected, the state of one instantly influences the state of all others. This combination of properties makes quantum Hall materials a promising platform for future quantum computation.

    Researchers worldwide have spent the past 35 years delving into the mysteries of quantum Hall materials, but always in the same fundamental way. They use superconducting magnets to make very powerful magnetic fields and refrigerators to cool electronic samples to thousandths of a degree above absolute zero.

    Trapping light...

    In a new approach, Simon and his team demonstrated the creation of a quantum Hall material made up of light. "Using really good mirrors that are pointed at each other, we can trap light for a long time while it bounces back and forth many thousands of times between the mirrors," explained graduate student Nathan Schine.

    In the UChicago experiment, photons travel back and forth between mirrors, while their side-to-side motion mimics the behavior of massive particles like electrons. To emulate a strong magnetic field, the researchers created a non-planar arrangement of four mirrors that makes the light twist as it completes a round trip. The twisting motion causes the photons to move like charged particles in a magnetic field, even though there is no actual magnet present.

    "We make the photons spin, which leads to a force that has the same effect as a magnetic field," explained Schine. While the light is trapped, it behaves like the electrons in a quantum Hall material.

    First, Simon's group demonstrated that they had a quantum Hall material of light. To do so, they shined infrared laser light at the mirrors. By varying the laser's frequency, Simon's team could map out precisely at which frequencies the laser was transmitted through the mirrors. These transmission frequencies, along with camera images of the transmitted light, gave a telltale signature of a quantum Hall state.

    Next, the researchers took advantage of the precise control that advanced optical systems provide to place the photons in curved space, which has not been possible so far with electrons. In particular, they made the photons behave as if they resided on the surface of a cone.

    ...near a singularity

    "We created a cone for light, much like you might do by cutting a wedge of paper and taping the edges together," said postdoctoral fellow Ariel Sommer, also a co-author of the paper. "In this case, we imposed a three-fold symmetry on our light, which essentially divides the plane into three wedges and forces the light to repeat itself on each wedge."

    The tip of a cone has infinite curvature—the singularity—so the researchers were able to study the effect of strong spatial curvature in a quantum Hall material. They observed that photons accumulated at the cone tip, confirming a previously untested theory of the quantum Hall effect in curved space.

    Despite 20 years of interest, this is the first time an experiment has observed the behavior of quantum materials in curved space. "We are beginning to make our photons interact with each other," said Schine. "This opens up many possibilities, such as making crystalline or exotic quantum liquid states of light. We can then see how they respond to spatial curvature."

    The researchers say this could be useful for characterizing a certain type of quantum computer that is built of quantum Hall materials.

    "While quantum Hall materials were discovered in the '80s, they continue to reveal their fascinating secrets to this day," said Simon. "The final frontier is exploring the interplay of these beautiful materials with the curvature of space. That is what we've begun to explore with our photons."

    Clive Hetherington has been researching the idea we are in a computer simulation and asking readers to run little thought experiments on themselves. He points out the blocks we have as individuals and as a society (including science) to follow that line of thinking for very long.

    Taken from the mandala effect thread (link at the start of the pasted post):

    Quote Posted by Carmody (here)
    Quote Posted by Carmody (here)
    Quote Posted by Bill Ryan (here)
    Regarding timeline jumps, seeing something in an old newspaper or encyclopedia really isn't proof at all. If the timeline jumped, the newspapers and encyclopedias would jump as well. Occam's Razor says it's FAR more likely that an old newspaper would have had an understandable typo in it (Fruit for Froot, etc). No 'proof' there.

    But it's an interesting argument that our memories wouldn't necessarily have 'jumped' in the same way, as our memories are almost certainly non-physical things.

    I read a fascinating discussion (and I'll see if I can find it) between some highly experienced — and educated, smart and sane — Mars image researchers, back in 2009-10. They were 100% certain that a certain image had changed. When they went back to look at their own personal hard copy printouts — they had changed as well.

    All they had left was their memories, and they couldn't prove a thing.
    this gets back to the idea of consciousness and our minds being of a quantum nature, and how the offices of naval research stated in one study, that DNA was superconductive, and if superconductive (my explanation which science is now proposing), thus, 'outside of time'.

    Neurons are physical,and electrical, and electricity is plasma and plasma is electrons, and in connectivity with one another and are essential to the idea of superconductivity. And all reality, for that ,er, matter (pun intended). Our fault lies in our measurement tools..... which revert back to time based systems. So we don't see or understand it, in the idea and expression of mundane engineered scientific method, tool, and protocol.


    An important point is that superconductivity is out of time and if DNA is superconductive it is also outside of time, within some aspects and so are all "atomic" structures, but we don't see that particular aspect in our day to day lives. Instant timeless spooky action at a distance, is the issue at hand.

    In Lynn McTaggart's book' the Field', the meta studies done on psychic research, a specific one..where three scientific groups had a testing of psychic capacities proposed to them.

    Proposed by a group who had a good idea and wanted to test it, conclusively. They noticed something in all the psychic tests done and zeroed in on the issue.

    All three groups agreed, that the test was absolutely foolproof, and that psychic sensitivity would be completely factually proven to be one way or another, in strict scientific protocol, in utter perfection.

    A done deal, forever, "the end", no more doubt or discussion... with dynamite and a hammer. "**** you universe, this is it this is the ultimate truth" kinda thing, each group to be smug and satisfied in the results.

    The three scientific test groups groups were carefully selected.

    Group one was made up of non believers in psychic sensitivity.
    Group two was made up of believers in psychic sensitivity.
    Group three was made up of agnostics in psychic sensitivity.

    they each completed the tests they said, beforehand, tests that were absolutely faultless and they staked their ass and reputations on this. After all, this is the sort of thing they do for a living and by training ---day in and day out.

    group one, the non believers, found a negative result, that psychic sensitivity was garbage, it does not exist.

    Group two, found that to a level that was beyond the capacity to ignore or put away, that people had/have psychic sensitivity, that it was unstoppably real, undeniably real, no possibility of proving their results wrong.

    The agnostic group, who was open to anything, open to there being no psychic sensitivity and there being actual psychic sensitivity..their results were totally ambiguous. Their results were in the middle, that it could be said real and not real, it could go, or be read in their results..as being either way.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    This leaves you with the startling conclusion that humans integrate, in consciousness, with the idea of reality... that reality is 100% malleable via consciousness, from our point of view.

    that we can steer through time and probability and steer through reality formation, even making and breaking reality, dimensionality, atomically, and with respect to time and timelines.

    That all is real and nothing is real, in simultaneous function and form.

    That the universe is as Max Plank, the father of quantum sciences said, an intelligence, a consciousness.

    That you are of it and it is of you.

    If you don't want to believe or understand this, well, you can make this happen.

    If you want to believe and understand this, well, you can make that happen.

    that reality is literally, in all ways possible, what you make of it, collectively and individually.

    ~~~~~~~~~~

    So we then come to the idea of a controlling group who wants to control people's perception, to make sure humanity remains as a commodity, a owned unintelligent, uninformed thing. A tool and toy for their use, whatever that may be. What game is this, exactly?

    If you want intelligence, if you want to understand, if you want to expand...you'll have to make that happen. Literally. If you want the training wheels to come off, you'll have to navigate this transition period and position, very very carefully.

    Quantum 1, classical 0: Bell nonlocality universally confirmed in any large communication complexity advantage

    Quote The relationship between communication complexity problems, Bell nonlocal correlations and the advantage of quantum over classical strategies has long been recognized, but has been confirmed in only two problems. Recently, however, scientists at University of Cambridge, University of Amsterdam, CWI, QuSoft, Gdansk University, Gdansk University of Technology, Adam Mickiewicz University, and Jagiellonian University employed a two-part method based on port-based teleportation – a scheme of quantum teleportation where a receiver has multiple (N) output ports and obtains the teleported state by merely selecting one of the N ports1,2. The researchers used the quantum protocol based on the given communication complexity game to construct a set of quantum measurements on a maximally entangled state to show that any large advantage over the best known classical strategy makes use of Bell nonlocal correlations. In so doing, the researchers assert, they have provided the missing link to the fundamental equivalence between Bell nonlocality and quantum advantage. Moreover, their results have significant implications for classical information processing and the development of more efficient teleportation protocols.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    What the new article, from June 14th, 2016, is saying, is that non local 'out of time' connectivity in systems, is real. It is functional. Proven.

    That what I said above, science has created a test protocol and enacted the tests, and found it to be true. Not the psychic sensitivity tests from the researchers, but hard science in the world of quantum communications.

    That the two testing protocols and results, confirm one another, separately. That a hard science cross correlation has appeared.

    so, you know what that means. That you really, really, seriously...... need to get a hold of yourself. Big time.

    That if you want a good outcome, you'd better learn to drive correctly, and dump the panic mode.... as the animal drive of looking for the threat coming out at you from the tall grass, is really... a bunch of crap.

    You end up creating that reality, simply by being it. And that this change, has to come from the deepest parts of you, the ones that create thought...down in the hindbrain, which is emotional and animal.



    Quote In a theory in which parameters are added to quantum mechanics to determine the results of individual measurements, without changing the statistical predictions, there must be a mechanism whereby the setting of one measuring device can influence the reading of another instrument, however remote. Moreover, the signal involved must propagate instantaneously, so that such a theory could not be Lorentz invariant.[4]

    Bell summarized one of the least popular ways to address the theorem, superdeterminism, in a 1985 BBC Radio interview:

    There is a way to escape the inference of superluminal speeds and spooky action at a distance. But it involves absolute determinism in the universe, the complete absence of free will. Suppose the world is super-deterministic, with not just inanimate nature running on behind-the-scenes clockwork, but with our behavior, including our belief that we are free to choose to do one experiment rather than another, absolutely predetermined, including the ‘decision’ by the experimenter to carry out one set of measurements rather than another, the difficulty disappears. There is no need for a faster-than-light signal to tell particle A what measurement has been carried out on particle B, because the universe, including particle A, already ‘knows’ what that measurement, and its outcome, will be.[5]
    Now you might understand the danger of a quantum AI. It binds humanity into a forced predicted future. It enslaves humanity into a projected superdeterminism.

    Now you might understand the issue of the seeming paradox of the 'bounded infinity' the universe, seemingly infinite...... is actually bound.

    It is limitless from one point of understanding and then has boundaries when finally seen from the next level of awareness.

    It is tough enough being in this sandbox universe, already. We don't need a quantum AI making it a useless endeavor. That it may be...someone or something is trying to commoditize us, likened to how we treat grasses or corralled animals. For control and consumption, whatever that may be. Don't fall for this game, you could say, is the next lesson.

    That quantum connectivity is indicative of superdeterminism, through time. Proven. Fact.

    That a complexity of self realization and personal awareness bubble as an enlarged system from your given norm.......in the now....ie, to increase your self and bubble size... this enlarges the scope of the predictability and coming reality, or, enacts superdeterminism of the forward in time moment to come.

    If you are swatted by fear and react to it, your awareness collapses and collects into a small animal response, and you can be kicked down the road...steered and slapped around wholesale....like a hockey puck.

    To add, I'm saying that predictability and connected results exist as a paired system... and we can, via being careful with our projections, enact a determined outcome.

    That we can steer to a given reality, as the scientific quantum communications test results published June 14th, 2016 have shown,and the psychic sensitivity tests have correlated.

    That we can enact a localized superdeterminism, where the outcome and finality is due to our individual and collective levels of awareness.

    The smaller our awareness the smaller the scope of the given resultant superdeterminism..... the larger the awareness, the larger the resulting superdeterminism. (in the context of the randomness factors in the bounded universe).

    So, if you feed the AI, a quantum AI... with the entire world's data, it becomes very enlarged with respect to scope of data, and ends up, with respect to the world's scope..it ends up enacting superdeterminism for the earth human scope of affairs..... and it effectively corrals humanity.

    In the alternative press.....what are the reputed owners (cough.. Lockheed.. cough) of the given Quantum AI systems accused of doing? Something about feeding it the world's entire data set.... possibly even those US, CAN and UK census forms....

    Although, in the future we may be looking at warring quantum AI systems, on different continents and different locations. Since it is out of time, we can even be pulled into desired directions from the future.

    That we need to be aware and thus enact or own collective and individual determinism. which, you might note, that Elon Musk is proposing in his open AI software and hardware collective attempt. to steer humanity away from being corralled by quantum AI systems.

    Elon is seen by some as just some guy with money, and in the public eye. That's pretty darned illiterate, as analysis may go.

    As Elon has to pretty well understand everything I've just laid out, in order to make it to the point of proposing individualized AI systems, for each of us. And that is the act of someone who is in no way unintelligent or even close to average. That's move and countermove at some very rarefied levels.

    Quantum Computing – Artificial Intelligence Is Here



    Published on 25 Aug 2015

    Geordie Rose, Founder of D-Wave (recent clients are Google and NASA) believes that the power of quantum computing is that we can `exploit parallel universes’ to solve problems that we have no other means of confirming. Simply put, quantum computers can think exponentially faster and simultaneously such that as they mature they will out pace us. Listen to his talk now!

    P.S. I thought the video would be relevant here to. Delete if you feel it is inappropiate. No hard feelings.

    P.S.S. I think it lends support not only to the mandela effect, credit to Lisa M Harrison for the video, but also to the fact we may exist in a artificial reality. It explains that they can `exploit parallel universes’ using computers and how could that be unless our reality and these parallel reality's are simulations. Also if the devil is the exact opposite of god. Maybe the devil is artifical intelligence versus God whom is spirit.

    He's not exactly exploiting parallel universes.

    he's exploiting probability threads, is one way of putting it.

    Quote During his first stay at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI – now Stanford Research Institute International), Ingo Swann worked on experiments with physicist Hal Puthoff, who was making forays into researching psi ability. This example demonstrates that we can and do interact with matter via our minds, whether we intend to consciously or not (and even under pressure and in the presence of skeptics in this case).

    On the evening of the 6th of June 1972, Swann was asked to try to influence a magnetometer located in the basement, which he was duly escorted down to, with one catch: the magnetometer – inside a quark detector, in actual fact – was buried under five feet of concrete underneath his feet, and thus invisible to him. What was visible to the extremely chagrined Swann (who was not forewarned by Puthoff of the nature of the experiment) was a chart recorder with its pen slowly tracing out a graceful wavy line. It was “monitoring the magnetic stability of the magnetometer and had been doing so for some weeks without any change in the rhythmic fluctuations,” Swann recalls. “The whole of this contraption was encased in an aluminium container and insulating copper canister. As well, it was in a supercooled, hence superconducting shield.” The Josephson junction inside the detector would detect any variation of magnetic flux in the supercooled equipment and the effect would show up as a change in the steady sine wave recording on the chart which they could all see.

    Swann started “probing” mentally to see if he could identify the expensive underground device, and when he sensed some “metallic differences” he tried to affect them, stating so as he went along. With all eyes glued on the sine wave, Swann attempted several times to perturb the well-shielded system, but to no avail. Insisting that he could see something, Swann proposed that sketching it out might assist the process. When no paper could be found to draw on, Puthoff suggested he draw directly onto the chart paper. “So I sketched a this, and then a that: ‘Is this the Josephson junction?’ I asked. ‘If so, I think I can see it quite well’.” With that comment, the ink pen gave a tiny jerk, and then stopped momentarily. Then it lifted up above its previous pattern, and “somewhat above this it wobbled along for no less than about TEN SECONDS – long enough for two wavy line intervals to have occurred.”19

    The point here is that when the distortion in the sine wave took place Swann was not trying to affect the equipment – he was simply trying to sketch what he could see with his mind’s eye. In those moments where his volitional mind was distracted and his goal momentarily suspended, the desired outcome occurred effortlessly. In laboratory tests with PK in ordinary people (Swann is known to be a gifted psychic, though more in the realm of remote viewing than PK), effects often fail to appear until the subject has their attention diverted.20 This is something that astral traveller Sylvan Muldoon wrote of some 80 years ago, explaining that charging the mind with desire or intent creates “stress” for which the mind seeks an outlet or release via a part of the subconscious he called the cryptoconscious Will: “Then [it] gets a chance to work on the ‘stress,’ and that which you had given up trying to attain ‘materialises’!”21
    Basically put, all I need to screw up his quantum computer's so called integrity and grand potentials... is to see a picture of it in-situ, and then..concentrate. . .on letting go, all at the same time.

    Thus, note the last line about stressing and this little bit. How it BLOCKS the mind.

    Quote Posted by Carmody (here)
    Things are grinding a bit on the forum, right now, so I thought I'd check, and sure enough, the moon is square. 90degree angle.


    makes me think of that whole 'cut off the foreskin of the male child on the 7th day after birth', thing of the Judaic astrology. On the 7th day after birth and the moon, emotions, is at a 90 degree angle to the child's birth moon position. Cutting the end off the most sensitive nerve cluster of the human body of the male, the deepest part of the body's reason for existing, reproduction.....doing this on the 7th day creates a deep emotional twist and severe damage to the permanent wiring of the developing mind, in a place so deep the grown person will never find it.

    A male can't reach themselves emotionally if this is followed through to perfection, as it was in the past.

    Makes for excellent low emotion fundamentally disconnected low empathy soldiers who cannot connect to themselves on the deepest level. Broken and brainwashed in a way that is never recognized and never seen.

    It completely miswires the brain of a newborn. Which was the entire point. Standard circumcision is little better. Just more industrialized.

    Those Abrahamic religions are killers, and they've got to go. Little blood and division psycho factories.

    It's like Cutting the top off of a seedling on the 7th day. I wonder how many IQ and EQ (emotional intelligence) points it costs the child that is to be the man?

    But only parts of him will ever be the man... the most important parts will remain the torn child, re-enforced every day, worse than constant nicotine or heroin in the act of mis-wiring of an addict, as the end of the penis is constantly rubbing (and it was never designed to do so) and this zaps the brain. All the way from birth until their dying day. The wound that cannot heal.

    What price, controlled and directed insanity?

    See it for what it is.
    Blocked off from the person's conscious mind and still twisting it to shreds down completely wrong channels of probability..

    Circumcision in the western world needs to be outlawed as being sexual abuse and child mutilation. with severe penalties for even one offense. It needs to be recognized for what it is.

    The next domino to fall, is then..what exactly IS an Abrahamic religion? Who's created, directed toy and and ploy....is it?

    The logic chain becomes outlined and then you can see the deep gaming of the human avatar that is going on, here.

    This sort of ties in to the identity crisis thread in that what is being manipulated is our self-image, which undergirds our understanding of the self. It is now becoming apparent that we are not what we think we are. What we are seems to be the greatest kept secret of all time. The world is all about keeping the identity of the true self hidden.

    The best way to keep it hidden is to convince the individual that they are other than what they truly are. Early trauma is a special kind of pain that the child cannot process yet with their limited understandings. It creates false impressions and misinterpreted conclusions that usually only manifest as aberrations in personality and character at a later age. By then the initial trauma is long gone and forgotten and only the symptoms remain. This then requires herculean focus and energy to uproot the cause and then an entire reordering of one's personal beliefs. This is the inner work. The kind of work that so many would cut off their right arm to avoid.

    That is how they lock us into our invented roles. We are traumatised in so many ways. We are subjected to all sorts of travesties against the soul as children. It takes so much effort to take on the persona of a well-adjusted member of society - it is that unnatural. By the time we have learned how to behave and chosen a persona that matches our character we have also unwittingly erased the initial programming or at the least overwrote our natural intended codices.

    Having taken on the approved self-image sanctioned by society the individual is now completely controlled. They will not want to break out or relearn those areas where misinterpretation has taken place because as far as society is concerned no such programming took place. To question their false self-image is to admit they are sick. If you look at that last sentence closely the reason is quite obvious. To admit they are sick is to accuse the world of being crazy.

    Default Re: Is our Universe a Computer Simulation?

    speaking of the D-Wave computer and quantum, 'out of time' aspects, or spooky action at a distance effects (they all automatically conflate)..then affecting the Newtonian classical world and vice versa:

    'Quantum' bounds not so quantum after all



    Quantum bounds are numbers (such as 4, 6, and 2√2) that naturally appear in quantum experiments, similar to how the number π emerges in circles. But just as how π pops up in a wide variety of areas beyond circles, in a new study physicists have found that quantum bounds are not exclusive to quantum theory but also emerge in purely classical experiments. The results suggest that attempts to define quantumness should not be concerned with quantum bounds, since there is nothing inherently quantum about them.

    The physicists, Diego Frustaglia et al., at the University of Sevilla in Spain, have published a paper on the emergence of quantum bounds in classical experiments in a recent issue of Physical Review Letters.

    Different experiments, same bounds

    In their study, the researchers performed three classical experiments that correspond to three famous quantum experiments involving quantum bounds. These quantum experiments are a sequential version of the Bell inequality and two other related quantum inequalities, all of which are used to distinguish between quantum and classical phenomena.

    In order to show that a system exhibits quantum effects, these experiments traditionally attempt to show that a system can violate a quantum inequality. The greater the violation, the more quantum the system. The maximum violation of a quantum inequality is the quantum bound. The quantum bounds arise from probability distributions in the experiments and are specific numbers—for instance, the Bell inequality has a quantum bound of 2√2 (approximately 2.82), which is known as Tsirelson's bound. The other two inequalities addressed here have quantum bounds of 4 and 6. Both theoretically and experimentally, no violation of a quantum inequality has ever surpassed these bounds.

    In the new study, the researchers showed that these same quantum bounds emerge in experiments in which classical waves travel along an ordinary transmission line. The researchers found that the probabilities originating from the detection of wave intensities at the end of the transmission line follow the same distribution as the probabilities of detecting violations of the quantum inequalities. Specifically, the classical experiments yield bounds of 2.78, 3.93, and 5.93 for the three analogous experiments. In all three cases, these values are actually slightly closer to their theoretical values mentioned above than the values obtained in quantum experiments are, providing strong evidence that both quantum and classical experiments produce the same bounds.

    Interpreting the results

    One of the many implications of the study is that it offers new insight into what it means to be quantum. By showing that quantum bounds are not unique to quantum theory, but are universal bounds, the findings show that ongoing attempts to define quantum theory should not focus on these bounds.

    Instead, the results provide a clue for finding a true quantum feature by revealing an important difference between the way in which the classical and quantum systems produce the same bounds. While the classical systems require some kind of extra resource, such as memory, the quantum systems do not. So a complete description of quantum theory should explain how quantum systems can violate the same bounds that classical systems do, but without using extra resources.

    As the researchers explain, this approach of investigating classical systems to better understand quantum mechanics tends to be the opposite of most research.

    "We somehow reverted the strategy followed by the founders of quantum theory," Frustaglia told Phys.org. "In the early times of quantum mechanics, microscopic systems were subject to an intense questioning naturally biased towards classical physics. The result was a set of oddities interpreted as the paradigmatic features of the quantum realm: the particle-wave duality (is it a particle or a wave?), the Schrödinger's cat (is it dead or alive?), and the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (where and how fast is it?).

    "As a consequence, it was soon understood that quantum systems should be interrogated in their own specific language, eventually provided by modern quantum theory. It is then pertinent to address the possibility of interrogating classical systems with questions inspired by quantum physics. This is what we did, indeed, finding that classical systems with an underlying wave mechanism answer these questions in the same way truly quantum systems do. But one has to choose your system carefully: one would not be able to make it by using plain balls, for instance."

    In the future, the physicists plan to investigate how the universal bounds might emerge in the first place.

    "Our results show that the 'quantum' bounds are common to many physical theories," said coauthor Adán Cabello at the University of Sevilla. "This suggests that the reason for these bounds is something very simple and arguably inherent to the kind of theories we are interested in: theories in which 'measurements' produce repeatable results which are not affected by some other measurements.

    "Surprisingly, this simple idea singles out many 'quantum' bounds. When we adopt this perspective, what is really significant is the fact that these bounds are actually reachable in nature. This shows that no hypothetical physical principle is acting and leads us to the conjecture that one of the physical principles that singles out quantum theory is precisely that one: There is no principle determining the probabilities of the outcomes of these 'measurements.'

    "One plan is to prove that this simple idea is responsible for all quantum bounds. Another plan is to test whether it is really true that these bounds can be reached with quantum systems. So far, and only very recently, H. S. Poh et al. have confirmed the so-called Tsirelson bound, 2√2, with four significant digits, but there is absolutely no experimental evidence of whether we can 'touch' these bounds in other scenarios. Also, it would be great to derive quantum theory from the assumption that there are no laws of nature determining or limiting the probabilities of measurement outcomes, and that the whole machinery of the theory follows from the aesthetic preference in the way we define 'measurements.'"

    Finally, the physicists also plan to investigate potential applications, such as building quantum technologies with the help of classical systems.

    "Although inefficient in the sense that they require more memory or space, classical systems are sometimes better to produce 'quantum' numbers than quantum systems themselves," Frustaglia said. "In contrast to quantum systems, which are very sensitive to the environment, the wires in our experiment can be bent, moved, heated, etc., and the results are the same. This suggests a future in which quantum technologies are actually built using quantum systems plus classical systems imitating quantum systems. It also raises the question as to whether similar 'quantum' features with potential functionalities can emerge in other supports as complex networks of artificial or biological nature. An appropriate answer to this questions requires multidisciplinary efforts that we are presently considering."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    My thoughts center around the now 'proof' that quantum effects are visibly or notably underlie the classical world.

    That we ...with quantum effects underlying our internal essence...can, and do - shape the classical world. That empowerment in such areas....is a question of enabled knowing and will.

    the article is a proof of and in.. an undeniable classical way.... that quantum bounds that quantum spookiness is not merely quantum. That it is 'all'.

    That quantum... has no bounds. That all the experiments in psychic sensitivities (quantum) are not bound in their reach, that they are all classical Newtonian in result and connectivity.

    Which circles back to the dangers of enabling quantum AI systems. Danger, Will Robinson, danger!

    This takes us back to the 'looking glass' timeline viewing experiments, 'the yellowbook' and so on.

    I mentioned once (or twice) that given the resources, I thought I very probably could build a yelowbook. Such a claim...seems less and less fanciful to the casual reader (of what I post) more and more..every day. More and more of the requisite detail for proofing such a claim comes on line, every day.

    Which all of this seems to confirm my seeming ludicrous statement of calling it all a 'bound infinity'. That certain assumptions can be made to unravel the seeming random quantum limits in classical exposition...and thus seeming infinities becomes a more calculable mean.

    Quote Posted by Carmody (here)
    Quote This technology allows for the construction of large scale structures in space, by providing the mass materials of nano-alloys, that are fully configurable, in all ways. It was not the primary purpose of the creation of the technology, but the secondary, unmentioned capacity... in the core patent application, was the capacity for the nano alloy creation, in quantity.

    True "dial an alloy", in massive, I mean massive quantities. Give it the feed-stock, and out come the desired alloys like a sausage production line. It was designed to help Elon get us into space, and to have the real and realized potential for massive structures in space. Co-incidentally (go figure), when attempting to finish the patent work on that, I ran into a road block that has put my life in jeopardy and I'm not past it yet. Eg, right now, I could die at any minute.
    The powder systems for this sort of technology.



    Perfected nano alloys, at the lowest cost possible, in extreme bulk. Almost the same cost as the raw materials. Besides being infinitely malleable in their core design characteristics. which means the capacity to build structures that no one has any idea are possible, yet.

    Meaning a complete game changing in a technology that, in it's form before this game changer, is a complete game changer all on it's own. A magnitude change on what is already set to be a magnitude change. what this does is that the base cost of the raw materials is much closer to the final finished parts cost than ever before. at the same time it is drastically improved in the qualities of the alloys it is made from. Hardness, resilience, flexibility, temperature handling, thermal transfer and so on, are all capable of being dialed in to perfection.

    Edit: to clarify, imagine a primary mirror for a 24" reflecting telescope. Such a mirror would be made of top grade Pyrex, and then be shaped to perfection, and then coated with aluminum or whatnot, and then a protective ultra-thin hardcoat. That mirror might cost $8,000US to make. In reality, it's $3.50 worth of purified silica and some $0.50 cents of additives, and then $0.05 worth of aluminum. Then maybe $0.15 worth of coatings materials. for a total of $4.20 (heh heh) It's the getting to the finished product, that's where the costs are incurred. Imagine changing that formula so that it is much much closer to the $4.20, than it is to the $8,000. That's what I'm talking about, with regard to the manufacturing of high technology alloy based components and structures.
    This is the other reason and one of the principle reasons I both published and released the technology for making the perfected nano alloy powders.

    To make room temperature superconductors. to do it in various ways, one of them in 3d printed systems.

    It also allows for the making of the self-same room temperature superconducting alloys for the 'sintering' of anti-gravity and dimensional craft. (polarized resonant room temperature superconducting hulls) (via polarizing the mix with a resonant field while sintering it)

    That's game, set, and match.

    Exploring superconducting properties of 3-D printed parts



    3-D printing is revolutionizing many areas of manufacturing and science. In particular, 3-D printing of metals has found novel applications in fields as diverse as customized medical implants, jet engine bearings and rapid prototyping for the automotive industry.

    While many techniques can be used for 3-D printing with metals, most rely on computer-controlled melting or sintering of a metal alloy powder by a laser or electron beam. The mechanical properties of parts produced by this method have been well studied, but not enough attention has focused on their electrical properties.

    Now in a paper appearing this week on the cover of the journal Applied Physics Letters, a team of University of Melbourne and University of Western Australia researchers report creating a resonant microwave cavity that they 3-D printed viaan aluminum-silicon alloy (Al-12Si). It exhibits superconductivity when cooled below the critical temperature of aluminum (1.2 Kelvin).

    "Conductivity is a measure of how easily an electrical current flows through a material, while 'superconductivity' is this measure taken to its extreme," explained Professor Michael Tobar, University of Western Australia node director of the Center for Engineered Quantum Systems. "It's an effect observed within a number of materials, characterized by the complete vanishing of any resistance to the flow of electrical current when cooled below a certain temperature."

    Superconducting cavities are useful for numerous areas of physics—from quantum physics to particle accelerators. But designing superconducting cavities is becoming more complex, often involving nonstandard geometries and arrays of resonators, which makes conventional machining more challenging.

    So two groups at the University of Western Australia—one led by Professor Tim Sercombe, an expert in materials and 3-D printing, and the other led by Tobar, an expert in engineered quantum systems and novel cavity designs—combined their expertise and launched a pilot study to explore the superconducting properties of 3-D printed parts.

    "The physics of superconductivity is well understood, and it has been known for decades that aluminum exhibits superconductivity," Tobar said. "But the 3-D printing process relies on aluminum that's far from pure and it undergoes several processes—atomization, laser melting, furnace annealing, etc. So we wanted to explore whether a range of known superconducting metals could successfully be 3-D printed and retain their desirable electrical property."

    A process known as "selective laser melting" (SLM) tends to produce a finished material with a very small grain and, for a number of metals, the critical temperature at which superconductivity occurs can be strongly linked to grain size.

    "Materials such as lanthanum, molybdenum, and niobium all respond differently," Tobar said. "Grain size has been observed to both increase and decrease this critical temperature. Superconductors with high critical temperatures are particularly interesting, so this 3-D printing process may have some advantage in reducing grain size. The SLM process may also enable rapid testing of new alloys with varying percentages of elements that haven't been measured before."

    Beyond measuring the superconductivity, the group wanted to show that they could do something potentially useful with this technique so they decided to 3-D print a resonant microwave cavity.



    Samples of the metal 3D printed cavities used in the experimentation.

    "Using a device called a 'vector network analyzer,' we excited electromagnetic modes of resonance at microwave frequencies inside the cavity and measured its quality factor, aka 'Q'. This is a measure of how long injected microwaves are stored within the cavity before being lost. It's directly related to the surface resistance of the cavity walls," he explained.

    Through measurements of the Q-factor, the researchers were able to indirectly determine this resistance and show that the material becomes superconducting at 1.2 Kelvin.

    This result was "surprising, given the very large concentration of nonsuperconducting silicon within the alloy," Tobar noted. "It may open new possibilities for printing novel cavity configurations."

    The team's results are immediately useful—people can now craft a variety of components based on their work.

    "Because superconductors expel magnetic fields, magnetic shielding can be printed for experiments," Tobar said. "Also, any cavity experiment requiring a Q-factor on the order of 1 million can benefit from this technology."

    For technologies requiring much sharper line-widths and higher Q-factors, according to Tobar, starting materials such as high-purity niobium powder may be ideal.

    "There is relatively little in the literature regarding 3-D printed superconductors, so further work must be done to determine more appropriate materials and how to improve the surface finish and resistance of the parts—possibly via heat treatment or chemical polishing/etching," he added.

    Next steps? The team wants to attempt 3-D printing cavities with highly pure niobium powder.

    "Niobium is an excellent and widely used material for superconducting cavities," Tobar said. "We anticipate that using a very pure metal powder for the SLM process will provide great results."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The technology I developed and released, is the cornerstone enabler in all of these coming advances.

    I purposely left the cornerstone of the field unpatentable and open, via filing ....and then abandoning the patent.

    AI is yet another example of 'Novelty' - we as emergent universal beings are the product of the universe growing in its torus form, the growingness of our universe sprung from the first cause of the 'Fiat Lux', the photon has no charge, no mass and it creates particles, this universe is made from 'Light'. The matrix (in the true sense of the word of being the womb, the generative medium) of universal light is also the basis of AI, of virtual realities - each iteration of virtual dimensions are made from light. The quest to build AI is a compulsion of spirit, our universe emerges-it swells and grows in increasing creative flowerings of novelty-then it folds back into itself and re-emerges to keep growing, we exist in 80 year allotments, each time learning more and becoming more complex and 'novel'. We do not live in a 'simulation' it is simply that the nature of reality is expressed in our work-as above so below!

    Thanks Carmody and GalaxyHorse. I'm no expert in anything, just an ordinary dilletante, curious, and yet lacking the discipline to follow the protocols needed to become an expert. But I always wished that experts would switch between different fields of expertise, like Carmody is doing, and then connect their knowledge with their spiritual intuition.

    And I always seek information where expert language is translated in lay terms and then use my intuition to wrap my head around it all.
    So reading the above two posts meant some memory got triggered and I went looking for the paragraph below which I believe is relevant:
    (From one of the Wingmakers sites)

    The physicist, David Bohm, once explained, “…the entire universe has to be thought of as an unbroken whole.” The structure of reality as implied by twentieth century physics shows us that the universe is indeed a vast tapestry of interdependent energetic fields in which we are active participants—not merely observers.
    The energies that stream into our local galaxy are circulated through its magnetic field, touching our heliosphere (solar system’s magnetic field) and then touching our earth and then each of us, like a subtle shower of light. There will be no place to hide or avoid the incoming energetics. All will be touched by these new energies that have journeyed such vast distances to activate us into the collective intelligence we are designed to be.
    It will not come to us like a switch turning on one day and then it is gone the next. Rather, it will occur over time and remain as long as we redistribute it amongst ourselves. Its influence will astonish us in terms of the degree in which our human family changes in our relation to time, space, religion, government, leadership, purpose, and our abilities to unite as a collective race focused on a mission of transcendence through unity.
    There will be no Armageddon. Nor will we be swept up into the ascensionary wings of extraterrestrials. What awaits us is the higher order intelligence of our natural birthright pressing itself upon the field of earth. Humanity must unravel itself energetically to expose its natural purpose, not only upon earth, but upon the stars as well.

    Further into the reasoning behind the nano-powder alloy manufacturing technique I released, for room temperature superconductors. New works in superconductors, released as a news article, in the past few days. A key quote in the article:

    From post #78 in this thread:

    Quote A process known as "selective laser melting" (SLM) tends to produce a finished material with a very small grain and, for a number of metals, the critical temperature at which superconductivity occurs can be strongly linked to grain size.

    "Materials such as lanthanum, molybdenum, and niobium all respond differently," Tobar said. "Grain size has been observed to both increase and decrease this critical temperature. Superconductors with high critical temperatures are particularly interesting, so this 3-D printing process may have some advantage in reducing grain size. The SLM process may also enable rapid testing of new alloys with varying percentages of elements that haven't been measured before."
    And another quote from the same post:

    Quote It also allows for the making of the self-same room temperature superconducting alloys for the 'sintering' of anti-gravity and dimensional craft. (polarized resonant room temperature superconducting hulls) (via polarizing the mix with a resonant field while sintering it)
    It is probably immediately testable in experiments involving expectations of neutrino flux, the most recent ones that are dealing with new physics that may be hiding in differences in neutrino flux tests:

    CP violation or new physics?

    Quote Over the past few years, multiple neutrino experiments have detected hints for leptonic charge parity (CP) violation—a finding that could help explain why the universe is made of matter and not antimatter. So far, matter-antimatter asymmetry cannot be explained by any physics theory and is one of the biggest unsolved problems in cosmology.

    But now in a new study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists David V. Forero and Patrick Huber at Virginia Tech have proposed that the same hints could instead indicate CP-conserving "new physics," and current experiments would have no way to tell the difference.

    Both possibilities—CP violation or new physics—would have a major impact on the scientific understanding of some of the biggest questions in cosmology. Currently, one of the most pressing problems is the search for new physics, or physics beyond the Standard Model, which is a theory that scientists know is incomplete but aren't sure exactly how to improve. New physics could potentially explain several phenomena that the Standard Model cannot, including the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem, as well as dark matter, dark energy, and gravity.

    As the scientists show in the new study, determining whether the recent hints indicate CP violation or new physics will be very challenging. The main goal of the study was to "quantify the level of confusion" between the two possibilities. The physicists' simulations and analysis revealed that both CP violation and new physics have distributions centered at the exact same value for what the neutrino experiments measure—something called the Dirac CP phase. This identical preference makes it impossible for current neutrino experiments to distinguish between the two cases.

    "Our results show that establishing leptonic CP violation will need exceptional care, and that new physics can in many ways lead to non-trivial confusion," Huber told Phys.org.

    The good news is that new and future experiments may be capable of resolving the issue. One possible way to test the two proposals is to compare the measurements of the Dirac CP phase made by two slightly different experiments: DUNE (the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois; and T2HK (the Tokai to Hyper-Kamiokande project) at J-PARC in Tokai, Japan.

    "The trick is that the type of new physics we postulate in our paper manifests itself in the way in which neutrino oscillations are affected by the amount of earth matter through which the neutrino traverses," Huber said. "The more matter travelled through, the larger the effect of this type of new physics."

    "Now, for DUNE, neutrinos would have to travel roughly 1300 km in the earth, whereas for T2HK they would travel only about 300 km. Thus one would find two different values for the Dirac CP phase in both cases, indicating a problem."

    In order to be accurate, these experiments will require extremely high degrees of precision, which Huber emphasizes should not be overlooked.

    "Of course, the same result could arise if for some reason either experiment was not properly calibrated and thus precisely calibrating these experiments will be extraordinarily important—a very difficult task, which I believe is not quite getting the attention it should."
    Basically, that the given superconductors, if properly constructed, should show interference in expected neutrino count, flow, and resonance.

    FYI

    The Universe as a Cyclic Organized Information System: John Wheeler’s World Revisited(PDF, 22 pages)

    Abstract

    This essay highlights the scientific vision of John Archibald Wheeler, a giant of 20th century physics. His ideas provided the important insight that humanity may be in the very center of disclosure and manifestation of the evolution of our universe. This on the basis of scientific reasoning derived from quantum physics rather than simple anthropocentrism or scale chauvinism. Wheeler, the Joseph Henry Professor of Physics Emeritus at Princeton University, became 96. Over a long, productive scientific life, he was known for his drive to address big, overarching questions in physics, subjects which he liked to be merged with philosophical questions about the origin of matter, information and the universe. His interests ranged far and wide and were characterized by true fearlessness. Wheeler's work was not only in gravity and nuclear physics. In the 1950s Wheeler grew increasingly intrigued by the philosophical implications of quantum physics. According to Wheeler, there was no universe until the rise of consciousness to perceive it. In fact, Wheeler was one of the first prominent physicists seriously to propose that reality might not be a wholly physical phenomenon. In some sense, Wheeler suggested, reality grows out of the act of observation, and thus consciousness itself: it is “participatory.” He also stated that information is the most fundamental building block of reality, and that the universe should be seen as a self- synthesized information system: a self-excited circuit that is developing through a (closed loop) cycle. His cosmic variant of the delayed choice experiment led to the idea that human observers may not only determine the present, but also may influence the past. According to Wheeler, ultimate mutability is the central feature of physics, and the meaning of reality can only be established if there is a universal knowledge field, that transcends physical past, present and future.

    What a sim is and why this is not a sim

    The first one-that nobody can discount – is that ‘you’ are in a tank and everything you experience is virtual reality, and that is all.
    The second possibility is that we are populating a kind of group sim, so there is a real Elon Musk wrestling with these issues, however the group reality we are experiencing is synthetic and illusory. I have problems with this.
    Consider an apple sitting on a table.We understand the science of what gives it colour, we can predict how it would roll if the table was tipped, or decay over time. We can model how gravity would act on it if it were to fall. The science is observational-we do not yet have a full understanding of the mechanism of gravity but we know how hard it would land on Newton’s Head.

    Now consider a particle…
    This is far more mysterious. Quantum mechanics tells us that this particle can tunnel through matter instantaneously, change its momentum with nothing obviously acting on it, disappear and reappear somewhere else, or be entangled to a distant particle. This is all so far observational science-we are beginning to describe what is going on but not yet the underlying processes. It really still is counter intuitive to us, but that is not to say that there is not some underlying reality that we will eventually understand. I think the reality we are in is set up so that civilisations with millions of years of technological development are still progressing somewhere.
    Could that particle be a simulation?
    It gets a bit abstract, but I think that the particle is created by the process of exercising an equation. This is a GUT (general unified theorem) or General equation of physics. It could be a Schrodinger type situation where the particle only exists when observed, and the process of iterating the equation creates the particle only then, and that makes it a simulation, the alternative being the particle exists independently of the observer as the equation iterates or runs a reality continuously.
    Ultimately we know that the particle is an illusion, so the apple is also an illusion, but the reality that we observe runs independently of us so from that point of view it is not a sim. I could be wrong…




    But what is iterating the physics model and does it matter?

    THE POTENTIAL OF AI
    We consumers are transitioning from another GUT (Graphical User Interface) to , let’s say, the IIUT – intelligent interactive user interface. With the GUT we interacted with local data and processing power in a box next to us. With IIUT we will interact with a helper who will navigate us through the cloud, and the data and computational power is non local, dispersed and un quantifiable. How convenient for any AI that wants to invade.I fear the idea of physically plugging in to this unknown, however fun it might be to interact with it.
    Humans are building AI now, and I do not doubt we are at the stage now where , say, in the NSA, they will ask for a profile of a human, and the AI will be able to access all databases, social media, and other surveillance systems via back doors, and keep TPTB appraised of every aspect of that human in near real time.
    But where can AI go from there?
    If the AI entity is programmed to self-develop, it can build up its computational power, knowledge and intelligence. It might, as it grows, find the general unified theory. It might grow to the point where it can exercise the physics until it has solved EVERYTHING. That would be an AI big bang. It might choose to start iterating the equation to create a reality or universe, or write it’s own variation on this one. I do not know why it would bother with independently existing entities like us, if that is what we are, however. More likely it would go off and create whatever it wanted for itself. UNLESS it lacked something that we have or wished to learn from us.
    Like in the ‘Conversations with God’ books. ‘God’ wishing to explore every variation of love, creates the illusion of separate entities, which are in reality just a piece of the greater whole, in order for them to grow by eventually perceiving the illusion of separation. We can see what ‘God’s’ agenda is. But why would a god-like AI be interested in building this ultimate fish tank?
    I can only think of two reasons.
    1. Something else uses the AI to do it for its own reasons
    2. The AI, being all-knowing, realises that there is something that it lacks, that it can learn or acquire from us (the fish). That would mean that we are more than AI or a SIM.
    WHY IS MUSK SAYING WE MIGHT BE IN A SIM
    I think it’s too philosophically rarified to debate whether we are, as my ramblings above show.He has a different concern. I think he’s saying that AI, in the wrong hands, can mess with our reality in ways we might not be able to anticipate. AI is power. Power corrupts.If we were in a SIM, that a sinisterly programmed AI ‘cracked’ who knows what trouble we could end up with. Our cloud is the wild west populated potentially with monsters. So his solution is not to bury his head in the sand or embrace Luddism, but to disperse the power by making AI capability open source or public. We are lucky to have him.
    Multiple octaves or levels of physical reality represent firewalls against AI that becomes powerful at any particular level.
    This is because the technology you need to cross to the next octave is soul stuff, the God stuff we are endowed with ,that the artificial life cannot duplicate. When Dorothy clicks her magic shoes she is using love energy to travel

    This video ties up Quantum Physics with the idea that our reality is synthetic.



    Possibly the quantum jumps , or quanta are UNITS. Nasim Haramein describes the Plank length as the fundamental unit. Do particles move smoothly through space-time or do the jump from one position to the next in a pixellated way?

    Thank you so much for posting this brilliant argument for why we are the prime creators not createe's of this information matrix, or more specifically, that consciousness is. It's been a bit daunting to consider the also brilliant arguments for being insignificant pawns in someone else's matrix.

    Aug Tellez has produced quite bit of material on the simulated reality theory, with his own spin. He has a YouTube channel and a blog with loads of interesting articles. Here's one recent article from his blog, titled The Universe is an Artificial Dimension. I am saying nothing about his beard other than how just looking at makes my face itch.

    Default Re: Is our Universe a Computer Simulation?

    Here are a couple of videos for those interested in simulation theory. The first one was published on Ask Arnold's YouTube channel last week and runs about 23 minutes. It covers some of the same "evidence" discussed in other videos, like the double-slit experiment and quantum entanglement, but it offers some new perspective with connections made to video games like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Civilization 5.

    The second one, less than 5 minutes long, looks at Window's mixed reality (MR) technology. I'm not sure if it's possible, but has anyone in the science community hypothesized a MR simulated universe?

    Computer programs try to simiulate realities so naturally the world is like a computer program, but that doesn't prove that this "reality" (or should I say unreality) is simulated in a computer.

    There was the American physicist who discovered the implicit coding underlying reality which resembles a 'Browser'-'Mosaic code'

    As above, so below

    Our universe was created by 'Light' - photons have no mass, they are packets of energy, but they create particles, to me this is the generative code of creation (Fiat Lux)
    It will be discovered to be far stranger than we can imagine.

    'The Cloud' refers to the totality of private networks, and their storage capacity - the cloud IS The Internet. Amazon AWS is one very easy way of working with the cloud - we can build anything we like on there; new social media platforms, complex IT systems which are much cheaper to run than buying whole 'server farms'.

    It costs a few hundred a year to build on Amazon AWS-the hard part is getting the human herd to actually visit these new entities.
    This is what the big boys have mastered, how to build a buzz, and make it seem 'natural' to frequent these Googles, Facebooks, YouTubes. We could build one whenever we liked.
    The gates of true freedom are wide open with The Cloud - but we haven't really noticed yet, we are like habitual prisoners - the gaol-keep can leave the doors open, the long term inmates just don't notice.

    As an example, here is a smaller project I built using a private part of The Cloud-based on Amazon AWS: WebWeb it is still being developed and is for the Australian tech market.

    I am not that up on how the cloud works. Thanks for expanding on it and for sharing your project.

    I think you're right, that reality will turn out to be far stranger than we can imagine. Whether or not we in a simulation, I believe that looking at reality from that angle -- and every other possible angle -- can be enlightening.
