Physicists say there may be a way to prove that we live in a computer simulation

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1210.1847v1.pdf

I find this quite interesting. I've always thought it was possible that we are living in some college freshman's computer simulation. These guys are attempting to come up with a mathematical proof that it is possible.

We have several simulations today that are aimed at mimicking real life physics and math. We use computer simulations to design airplane's, cars, and many other real objects with striking accuracy to the real world. We already have brain/machine interfaces. It's only a matter of time before we come up with more realistic worlds and simulations, ones that might rival our own world.

I think people have played a little too much Sim's

It's a cool theory...... but I would not be happy when the guy controlling the simulation deletes the rail in the pool or traps me inside the house then sets it on fire

As I've gotten older I've come to believe that this is all one big holographic projection with multiple realities. One seen and one unseen, at least until its time to see it.

definitely possible IMO. thats why the matrix is such a good movie. some people just think its a big dumb action movie, but its actually quite brilliant.

while you guys are busy giving a **** about something that we'll never know until we're dead, i'm gonna be over here enjoying life. whether i'm living in a computer or not.
