Are We Living in a Computer Simulation? Scientists actually believe this is possible??
"if you, me and every person and thing in the cosmos were actually characters in some giant computer game, we would not necessarily know it. The idea that the universe is a simulation sounds more like the plot of “The Matrix,” but it is also a legitimate scientific hypothesis. In 2016, researchers pondered the controversial notion at the annual Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate here at the American Museum of Natural History.

Moderator Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the museum’s Hayden Planetarium, put the odds at 50-50 that our entire existence is a program on someone else’s hard drive. "

If you think of god as being a programmer than the bible would be the story that simulation is based off of

Yeah but you can’t really believe anything Tyson says after that corona comment he made in that interview this last year

I believe that we live in a lower dimension and do not have the capability to understand the higher dimensions. We know that more is there and have the ability to catch a glimpse through science and spiritual experience, however when you catch a glimpse or try figuring it out we can only explain it with things we understand. Which is why people experiences are can seem so bizarre. In my opinion, the case for us living in a computer simulation is just another way of us explaining the higher dimensions in terms we understand.

I believe the computer simulation is a good analogy, and is one people can grab onto to explain the universe, however, I believe it can be explained in other ways too. Whether its the Dalai Lama stress on interdependence, mediation, and science/technology, a computer simulation, the 3,6,9 dimension beings, or other religions like Catholicisms believe in Angels, demons, God and Heaven.

In my opinion, if there are 9 dimensions, living in the first three is the most confusion of them all because we have the smallest view. If there are 9 or more dimension, living in the first 3 would mean that there is much more going on behind all the basic things we take for granted.

Computers do three things. They read data, write data, and transform data. Its all about information. I've heard it said that in Physics time and space are nothing more than information (data). I've heard it said in the Human experience, the entire world is made up of our thoughts (information/data).

So I believe you can look at it in Computer Simulation context, however, its just 3 dimension context, but it's not complete or the end all answer.

Lastly, I'll say that many spiritual experiences sound weird the second you try to explain them. To many people they are personal and hard to talk about. I believe that is because you are getting a glimpse of a high level of being but are only left with our currently level of being and cultural context in which to explain them.

Error-correcting program codes were found in String Theory. Sound like a computer running things to me.

One thing I’ve learned recently. Scientist aren’t that smart. They can be bought and most are so ignorant that they think they’re smarter than God because they have their stupid degree and think they know better.

What a bunch of dummies in my book.

It absolutely is a possibility.

They teach it in university theoretical physics courses.
