Thinking Out Loud Ep 1.1

Welcome back!

To continue from last episode, we will consider the requirements needed.

1. A complex and capable device must be used.
2. The device must be able to operate at a fast speed.
3. The device must be able to do calculations and operations without any error at all. (100% correct         and 0% wrong!)
4. The civilization that creates the simulation must be very intelligent and advanced.
5. The planet the civilization lives on or the galaxy that the civilization lives in must have a lot of            resources.

We'll explain requirements 3,4 and 5.

Imagine that the device suddenly creates an error and something against the laws of science including physics, chemistry and biology and the laws of mathematics happens in the simulation.
The test subjects in the simulation might notice the error and discover that the world that they are living in is a simulation.

For number 4, this is simple to understand. The civilization must maintain, upgrade and keep the simulation running for... maybe forever? If it doesn't, then the simulation will crash and it will be the end of the world for the test subjects. Furthermore, the civilization must be advance in the first place to create the simulation.

Last but not least, number 5! Similar to the construction of a computer, a lot of metallic elements must be used. So, the surrounding environment of the civilization must be resourceful enough to have the requirements to create and maintain the device.

It still may be impossible for a simulation to be created in our world, but imagine what would it be like if we were THE simulation. Who would have created us? Do they know the whole world's secrets? Could we communicate with them?

But what if we were A simulation? What do I mean? We could have been created by a simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation... and so on.

Back to the point. With the technology now, it would be hard to create a simulation. However, we might be living in one. Or one inside another one. Don't get me started again...

That's all.

Thanks for drinking.
