  • Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation

  • Yes, I know, which is why I brought up the idea of inconsistent physics between universes.

    I'm not questioning whether the paper's math is accurate. We both seem to agree the hypothesis can't be proven in the first place.

  • I am treating it as a thought experiment, which is why I'm questioning how math can prove a negative to a fairly ambiguous question in the first place.

    It's in the realm of disproving determinism and flying spaghetti monsters.

  • What is the main point of the thought experiment?

    If we consider a possibility from all sides, then whether or not we could similate a universe that follows different physics is one of those sides. We don't have the power to do that, but we can create programs that simulate different physics. Stands to reason that not every universe may follow the same fundamental laws.

    I don't agree that it's equally unlikely to be the first as the last, either, if the universes branch off. A tree has thousands of leaves and only one trunk.

  • Doesn't this assume all universes follow the same physical rules?

  • WomensStuff weekend positivity... what is a sentence you'd say to to promote yourself to someone?

  • I can poop in under a minute and it only takes one wipe.

  • What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise?

    Jump

  • Yes! This is called 5BX if anyone wants to look for books and modern resources. There are apps for it, too.

  • Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon...

  • Those are very small condoms. Are we sure they're not for the pokemon?

  • This is how I feel about windchimes. Take them the fuck inside and put em in front of a fan if you need to hear tinkly sounds all the goddamn time.

  • Lawyers and judges saw a lot of dicks during covid when everyone had to learn how to video chat for court.

    Everything from the accused laying in bed, in pajamas, with a bowl of cereal and a blunt, to mirrors betraying whole-moon asses, to a guy being charged with improper storage of a firearm with shotgun leaning against the wall behind him.
