What is real? "The Matrix" Morpheus: What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain." https://m.youtube.com... * Relatively recently, whilst exploring the mathematics of string theory, Theoretical Physicist James Gates and his researcher discovered something rather interesting buried deep within the mathematical equations of super symmetry. They found computer code. And it isn’t just random 1’s and 0’s either. Bizarrely, the code they found is code which is used in computer browser operating system software. Specifically; Block Linear Self Dual Error Correcting Code. So what does this code do? Computer code is just instruction for a processor – Information. When transmitting information from one computer to another, there are fluctuations that happen, static in the line for example, that can alter the original information sent. Block Linear Self Dual Error Correcting Codes are vital in the exchange of digital information as they monitor code sent and measure it against what’s already know, self adjusting as required in order to accurately transmit and receive the correct information.

The "Simulation Argument" seeks to show that one of three possible scenarios must be true (assuming there are other intelligent civilizations). 1)All civilizations become extinct before becoming technologically mature; 2)All technologically mature civilizations lose interest in creating simulations. 3)Humanity is literally living in a computer simulation. The point is that all cosmic civilizations either disappear before becoming technologically capable, or all decide not to generate reality simulations. The main word is "all", because if even one civilization anywhere in the cosmos could generate such simulations, then simulated worlds would multiply rapidly, even creating reality simulations within reality simulations, and almost certainly humanity would be in one by probability alone because there would be more simulated realities than real realities. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... http://www.simulation-argument.com... * Kathryn Schulz, Psychologist, states, “The miracle of your mind isn’t that you can see the world as it is. It’s that you will see the world as it isn’t. The main theme of her talk is that we are often not only wrong, but completely unaware of it. She poses the idea that reality is filtered through perceptions and biases, and that it comes out the other side distorted but believed to be truth. https://www.brainpickings.org... * There are some simple questions that science just can't answer. And then there are the strange occasions where the universe up and does a freaking magic trick that seems to be designed by an all-powerful entity dedicated to making scientists slowly pull off their glasses while saying, "What in the hell?" Examples? The Sun can make stuff hotter than itself. There's a discrepancy between what science says should happen and what the sun actually does, and it's known as the sun's coronal heating problem. Essentially, when heat leaves the sun, the laws of thermodynamics just totally break down for a few hundred miles, and nobody can quite figure out why. http://www.zo.utexas.edu... https://www.quora.com... - When you look closely, gravity begins to Make no sense. This is known as the Higgs mass hierarchy problem. Gravity has a tendency to wreak havoc on scientific hierarchies because the closer you really look at it, the more likely it is to begin vanishing. It's predictable when you take a step back and watch it yank things out of midair, but with a closer look, it completely vanishes. In fact, at the realm of particle physics, gravity is 10 ^ 32 times weaker than the second weakest force. The Earth's mass is 5.97 x 10 ^ 24 kilograms, which allows it to generate the wildly powerful and inescapable force that has held you onto the surface of planet Earth since you popped out of your mommy. The fact that the stray electricity chilling out on your sweater could counteract it makes as much sense as a starving child being able to bench press the Empire State Building. http://www.quantumdiaries.org... As far as you can prove Pikachu21, I am your simulated "real father", and I have been sent here to tell you...you are not real. Neither is anyone else...Deal with it son.
