How to live in a simulation

Featured Replies

Notably, that we live in a simulation is not empirically observed, but there are efforts such as digital physics, that may generate answers.

Intriguingly though, as we simulate more stuff with higher and higher fidelity, (the idea that a universe with conscious entities can be simulated) gets less and less crazy.

 

High fidelity (4k) 3d simulation:

 

A cool video discussing simulation, by fellow with Morgan Freeman like voice style:

Anyway, I recall of this old, and amusing guideline, on how to live in a simulation:

I don't know why the mod didn't move this thread to somewhere else - instead of closing it, given that I had inadvertently posted it in Physics.

Even if we are in a simulation why should i live my life any differently today? It's the same reality as i was in yesterday.

Hey Prometheus, perhaps, given the nature of science, if our cosmos was simulatory, we could perform tests on simulations we built;

...we could then probably derive approximations of outcomes from the simulated thing, before doing anything (outside of the simulation we built), in our reality.
