Quantum nonlocality

It can be ignored because it is hard to comprehend but the fact an atom tells its partner to change its state prior to us even having the thought is fucking bizarre. 

It is indeed bizarre. But quantum weirdness doesn't point to any supernatural agency; it just illustrates that one of the best things about science is that every answer raises a load more questions.

I don’t for one minute suspect a superior intelligence. We could be on someone’s Xbox.

Bit boring but incredibly fascinating.

Apparently atoms can communicate with each other when twinned regardless of distance. They can detect when being observed and let the other know and even predict that a they are about to be observed before they are, effectively time travel.

sorry for being a bore but google it. Only possible solution is simulation theory.

Is that final sentence correct? If it truly were the only possible solution, physicists would be diving into simulation theory like its a ball-pool full of tits.

Aye, it’s a philosophical positing, most scientists aren’t seriously considering it as a valid hypothesis. Neil Tyson can piss off, lending it his credibility, the big cuddly git. Elon Musk can piss off, too, but that has nothing to do with this computer simulation shit

Either our species dies out or we make simulation. We make simulations of everthing. It’s what we do.

We either die out as a species or we live in a simulation. Considering the number of humans a simulation is the most likely alternative.

There's a Brian Cox (Infinite Monkey Cage) podcast where Nick Bostrom (Philosophy professor at Oxford) reasons that we can only be existing in a simulation. The logic being: any advanced civilisation would reach a technological maturity capable of simulating itself. An advancement of that theory is that these simulations would run ad infinitum to extrapolate infinite versions of that civilisation. Which tallies with an idea of a multiverse. Prove the multiverse, and you prove (?) we live in a simulation

Have you been communicating with Simon?
