Science to Determine if We're Living In the Matrix

Science to Determine if We're Living In the Matrix

A mini-universe could answer the question we've been asking since 1999.

After yesterday's terrible news that cloning dinosaurs is currently impossible, science decided to restore our goodwill by doing something completely awesome. That something, it turns out, is to find out if we're all living in the Matrix.

Apparently, some very curious nuclear physicists from the University of Bonn have come up with a few tests to decide if we're actually living in a computer program.
The outline of the test is filled with wonderful jargon that's almost impossible to decipher, with sentences like, "Using the historical development of lattice gauge theory technology as a guide, we assume that our universe is an early numerical simulation with unimproved Wilson fermion discretization and investigate potentially-observable consequences.."
So basically, these scientists are going to create a mini-universe to test the constraints of such a universe and see if it applies to our own universe.

My mind after trying to comprehend this stuff.

I mean, I think.
While I have absolutely no idea how creating a mini-universe can be remotely possible, it sounds neat. Even more unclear is if the nuclear physicists find that we really are in a computer program, if anyone could possibly believe them.
What I do know is that after watching The Truman Show I was positive my life was a reality TV show, after watching Toy Story I knew my toys were alive, and after watching Men In Black I knew my memory had been zapped. Who knows what mayhem Wreck-It Ralph will have on my cerebral cortex.
Either way, it does pose an interesting thought exercise. If we really were in a computer program, would our programmers have the foresight to stop us from finding out? What if we did find out? And finally, can we definitively prove we are in a computer program by making our own?

Ciencia fudendo tudo q é legal.

Ainda bem que o filme que o sujeito ficou impressionado não foi Centopéia Humana 2...

Vocês não podem postar como pessoas normais? tem que sempre bancar os bonzões, fodões... a raça suprema separada da escória da humanidade? por favor... vocês todos já foram melhores que isso

Seifer, eles estavam zoando a notícia, não você.

Deixe de se sentir O perseguido...

Está aí uma palavra que abomino

Qual? Pessoas, ou normais?

Voltando o assunto... por menor que seja a chance, imagina que legal se concluirem um "estamos!".

Sim, eu pelo menos estava só fazendo uma piada com a parte:

Imaginou esse sujeito depois de ter visto um sujeito com a boca costurada no c* do outro sendo estuprado com arame farpado?

Porque não? seria no mínimo engraçado sermos um programa de computador, usando programas de computadores dentro de programas de computadores e xiii, deu loop

O Seifer ficou impressionado depois de ver Origem...

Se for possível - em qualquer momento do futuro - criarmos um software que pense que está vivo, e um ambiente simulado que esse software aceite como realidade, estatisticamente a chance é maior que somos esse software.

E você ia adorar né feles? huahuahua... falando sério agora, que sentido teria se eu fosse um software? eu ia tentar me hackear ao menos... HUAHAUHAUHUA, na pior das hipóteses eu me mataria, eu não existo mesmo

PS: nada de matrix aqui hein, eu digo que, se a gente fosse software mesmo, tipo um The Sims gigante huahuahua
