Simulation Theory: Why Our Reality Is Actually NOT REAL

Throughout history, our belief systems have changed drastically. In the past, people believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth, not the other way around. Until Galileo proved the contrary in the 17th century, and the fact he was sentenced to life demonstrates how hard it is for people to accept new knowledge. In other words, even if our enemies are pure facts, we are simply not ready to…

Is God a Mathematician?

Everything in our universe happens according to strict rule of law: the laws of physics. These laws can be understood en described through the language of mathematics. But math is not merely essential in describing and understanding the laws of physics which govern our universe. Math can be observed throughout our universe: we discover math's signature in the swirl of a nautilus shell, the whirlpool of a galaxy, and the spiral in the center of a sunflower. Math was essential to everything from the first wireless radio transmissions to the prediction and discovery of the some physicists boson and the successful landing of rovers on our neighboring planet Mars.

So then, let’s assume that we are characters in a simulated universe, as some genius philosopher argued almost two decades ago. Could it then be possible that math is the programming language through which this simulated universe can be understood? Could it thus be that God is a post human programmer/mathematician, and we are “avatars” created or “programmed” in his image? Are we mere copies of a meta version of “The Sims”, which is run on an extremely powerful quantum-computer in the future? Is “The Sims” nothing but a mini-game, programmed and created using C++, within this “Earth” game, programmed and created by God using math?
