Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains the Simulation Hypothesis
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 05. 2024
- Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice are here (or are they?) to investigate if we're living in a simulation. We explore the ever-advancing computer power and how that impacts the simulation hypothesis. Chuck wonders if a simulation universe has anything to do with us not being able to travel at the speed of light. You'll learn about Bayesian statistics. Lastly, Neil tells us how he was ready to embrace the simulation hypothesis until he came across a certain idea that changed his mind.

ok this needs more likes
Nah. Antivirus will lagging our simulation.

😂😂😂 I'm geeked rn
If we go faster than light we just see
LOADING TERRAIN...
I walk in the speed of light in Minecraft.
@@whisperingdragon4194 then you get "chunks loading".
No mans sky proves procedural generation can make that infinite. That game has about 18 quintillion different possibilities for generation. Imagine reality.
@@lionsatmidnight Not to bring up the past but that's what made me so mad about NMS haters. Regardless of what the game has going on that proof of concept for procedural generation is mind-blowing.
Ooowwwhh
4:45 the problem I have with this solution is that it doesnt factor in the possibility that there is more than one simulation running. What if complete simulations just become integrated into programming class and we're some random kid's final project. My point is, it's more likely for the chain of simulations to be a tree, with several branching paths, rather than a boring straight line.
Yes! I had the same thought, and what if the "real" world(or even higher level simulations) are exponentially more complex than our own? Of course we couldn't comprehend a world that we weren't designed to be in. Or perhaps it functions completely different than our own.
But that's where the theory of relativity comes into play. Every person displays a simulation of this world onto their own psyche. Every observer is a different relative point but only the one that's computing is the one that matters at that point in time. Think of 8 billion tape recorders all recording at the same time. That's us. But only one tape is played at a time so that is the snapshot any one observer is limited to. Sure, you can play all 8 billion at once but then the result is facebook...
@@punishedexistencewell you think of humans as the center of the universe or in this case the simulation we're only observing with our own eyes to our own mind the simulation is running with or without humans the ones looking at the simulation they don't look at it from humans perspective they just look at the whole picture and receive data
I feel like we are falling from a bigger hole in space. Like a drop of water and we are in it. We was apart of a bigger organism that ether died or was cut off. This organism can live for a long period of time self heal. And we're just split cells of what was alive.
i dont think a kid wants to simulate multiple worlds at once for a school project, and also. Im pretty sure he would've turned it off after that. So explain why we still exist
I love how excited Neil gets at the thought of a possible new theory at 1:46. He really does just have a huge passion for the unknown. And that’s what makes him a great scientist. He’s a brilliant man. But he’s also humble and understands just how little we know. But he approaches the new frontiers with wonder and excitement and logic.
He didn't create that thought. It's been discussed...
He can't help it. He was programmed to be that way.
You praise Neil too much. He considers UFOs to be bunk in the face of overwhelming evidence. He will refuse to look at it. This is not someone looking for new science.
@@nctrnlmjsty8719he was referring to chuck saying thats why we cant travel faster than light because they wont be able to program it. I think thats new
Attention to detail makes a good scientist.. . Saying "wow man" just makes a good friend
"Maybe that's why we can't travel faster than the speed of light"
That one really blew my mind.
Well that's assuming the sim is running in real time. The game could pause to load the unexplored part of the universe, we would never know it happened. Maybe someone decided to pause our reality a Billion year between the beginning and end of this youtube message ;)
Cosmic rays travel faster.
@@WetaMantis that's what i used to think as a child when i watch Doraemon.
Not really, without the speed limit nothing in the universe would function. The role that the speed limit has in the way we know the universe works has much high probability than the theory proposed, which was really a kind of cool joke.
@@christhomson9170 Are you typing this in-between coffee breaks of the flat earth society conference. NOTHING goes faster than light!!!!
The Scientist watching over this simulation: *Hmmmm* interesting
😂😂😂🤣
And there entire existence amounts to about 2 hours of our time

@Chiggy D i'm think same if he being replace himself

Neil as much I can relate to this theory, one thing I think must be considered is that a simulation capable of simulating other realities, can also simulate a thousand different models of simulations. One of which could be at our stage of evolution. They could simulate different worlds, different eras, different lifeforms.
Easy... you might break Neil again
I was thinking the exact same thing. Welcome back bazillion simulations
Nawww y’all done broke my mind
He was on Steve-O’s RV podcast(I forget what the exact name of the podcast despite how I’ve seen just about every episode rofl) recently, &Steve-O asked him this question. If I recall correctly he argued against it in basically the exact way rofl I love Neil on podcasts&how he just loves being able to geek out about everything possible, especially his areas of expertise&intrests
Awesome lively chats Neil - thank you so much for your channel 😊
1:37 I respect chuck for coming up with this one, that speed of light idea...
It's a really awesome idea too.
That's what elevators in games are. It totally makes sense. XD
or simply the information transfer speed limit for the processor
CPU maxes out at the speed of light
Ano_nymous the galaxies there “am i a joke to you”?!
I love how Neil is having an existential crisis and Chuck is just enjoying the simulation 😂😂😂
M. Ahsan so if we are all living in a simulation world then why am I still on? Can I simulate a life where I am not blind?

Yep we are nothing. Stop trying to think you are special. But whatever makes you feel better. In the end it doesn't even matter.
@@brandonsmith1838 Bro slowdown man. You could have cushioned the blow. I wasn't ready.
@@brandonsmith1838 Okay Linkin Park
Imagine being able to come with something so unique it blow Neil's mind😳 that speed of light limit theory is wild
i think its quite commonly mentioned on the topic.
i ve been defending this hypothesis for almost 5 years it goes even beyond that, since myself im programmer. its said that the planck lenght is also some limiter and its a number so unique it has to be set, so its the fibbonacci, also the more you study the more you see that most things that jesus said or that christians belief, like things are set by god, if you changed god by a programmer it will even makes way more sense. so both of these things can intertwine into one, so beautiful.
there is so many things that opens your mind, after you think like a programmer rather than a physicist. or a mix of both
yes, God is the simulator of our universe
Job 38:4-41@@TheGoldslash
Definitely entertaining. I love his thought processes
Imagine the creator of this simulation looking at this and laughing
Then abruptly stopping because they realize they are also being laughed at, and the chain continues.
GlaciusTS he will probably have empathy because chances are there in one aswell
Wouldn’t YOU be the creator of this simulation? What if I’m just an NPC and this is by your design?
That doesn't make sense really but ok i guess
@@GlaciusTS if player is a life living in a with a tool hoverboard and jetpack or flying car
The programmer must be sweating nervously after watching them do this.
He’s gonna get fired
dont wanna ruin ur likes count its 69 mahhh.. XD
holy... a simulated reality just means that all random events were sort of scripted to happen at the moment of the singularity. not a computer simulation.
random is scripted. is a storyboard.
czcams.com/video/ZL4daUpSFGo/video.html it's all just randomness right? but even these random patterns were preordained. sort of like a movie reel.
if we are killed by an asteriod or whatever tomorrow... that was preordained going all the way back to the singularity.
Frrr😭😭😭😭🤣🤣
I love how exciting they are when talk😂
@Startalk, I love this thought experiment. I was just discussing this with a friend of mine who is a professor of AI over at the Univerity of Depaul in Chicago and I discovered a deeper level to this.
You mention that since we do not yet have the computing power to completely simulate our world so that it is indistinguishable from "the real world" that there exists a 50% percent probability that we either exist in the first "real universe" or that we are the last simulation in the chain of simulations.
This is mostly true except for the fact that if you look at this chain of simulations as a family tree of interconnected simulations rather than a linear "chain" it becomes intuitively evident and probable that "sibling simulations" can be created within the same "universe" that would then be running simultaneously alongside the other simulations beside them. In one simulation, they may develop the computing power to simulate themselves while in the sibling simulation, they cannot. This would then mean that at any given time, there are an infinite amount of simulations in which they cannot yet simulate themselves... and we might exist in one of those.
So that brings us back to the fact that we statistically most likely exist in a simulation.
🤯
While my brain is still unable to process all of the information about this theory, I must admit that it fascinates me.
Yeah, i really don't get how he went from 100% to 50% just because we aren't able to create simulations yet since that's a pretty obvious fact. What's also pretty obvious is that we'll soon be able to create Simulations, or at least some ASI will
@@360VRwas having problems with that but I figured it out. We can’t 100% simulate today. There would only be two scenarios where we haven’t figured out how to 100% simulate yet. The original or the last simulation that has yet evolved enough to be able to simulate. If we were the last simulation, every other simulation before us figured it out already so that is not us. Since your options are only being one of the two (original or last simulation), we have a 50% of being the original.
Main factor you didn't calculate, or shell i say main tool for even having such simulation to be on, you need imense power, almost like infinite power/energy!
@@newportgss6566thank you. you explained better than the video did. 👍🏽
Isn't there a chance that these simulations start at the beginning if time with very slight variations to see how differently life would develop? Meaning that it is very probable that we are in a simulation.
Yup, code in the ingredients, all the building blocks of life and press start to see what manifests. They can probably fast forward too when it's a boring 5 millions years.
It all started last Thursday
Oh ffs just as I was getting over the idea haha
@@mumbles11111 he's also assuming that each civilisation only makes one simulation aswell. as we can see with films theres are hundreds of thousands of films and movies out there so why would a civilisation that has the technology to make a simulation only make one. everyone would have one to look at for fun so the probability we are a simulations actually becomes incredibly high again.
@@FlounderVFW Humans might just be the stepping stone for what comes next, nothing suggest that humans are the final step in the evolution process.
The 'Programmer' watching this and having a existential crisis
The programmer probably already accepts that they are in a simulation, and opts not to delete us out of fear that the same might happen to it.
Nah it's more like planted the thought or at this point simulated beings starts to realize things
Hey can you explain the part where it flips to 50/50 chance
we are either the real world or the next world to evolve and create his own simulation. Not one of many simulations out there since we can't simulate our own world yet
@@leniac Yeah I didn't really get the logic on that one. It's still possible that there is one civilization simulating billions of universes, and the 50/50 logic would fall apart. After all, why would you only simulate one universe? The answer would either have to be that they don't have the processing power (very unlikely, by our universe's standards anyway, that they would have the processing power for one and not others. that amount of power generally leads to exponential growth.) or they just don't want to for some reason.
“The Universe is a dream dreamed by a single dreamer where all the dream characters dream too.”

All of dreamers in 1 dream
Just being wondering how close this words are "dream" & "dreal" Digital real? It doesn't matter what's this is, it matters what we do for our dreams.
Lol take lsd and this quote makes so much sense!! Really is a dream
~Hinduism
Ahh only wise men quote Schopenhauer
I have to come back and listen to this every year or two.
What if our reality was created as an AI simulation, and we were given the purpose of not only discovering that we are living in a simulation, but also to find the tools necessary to break out of the simulation, and meet our creators? To go one step further, what if reality is a series of nested simulations, possibly infinitely deep, where each level is progressively more complex than the last one?
Sounds like reincarnation.
I feel like that's exactly what they said in this video
If you can break out of the simulation, you were never in the sim to begin with. Simulations are confined.
@@thevoicestoldmetoagain4627 The goal might not be to literally break out, but break out might refer to something like finding the interface to communicate with our creators while we are still in the simulation.
@@thevoicestoldmetoagain4627 have you not seen the matrix bro.
The odds only go to 50/50 if each simulation only runs one simulation. If at ANY level they run more than one simulation the odds move in favor of us being in a simulation.
Yes, It made me uncomfortable too. Why would he ignore that, Kasey? Are we just NPC's?
We already made millions of simulations, they are videogames
I think it's more the case of its 50/50 that we are real and not in a simulation or we are in a simulation but don't know if it's even possible to run a simulation as complex as ourselves in an entire universe until we manage to do it.
He also ignoring the fact we cant make a perfect simulation yet does not mean no one else in our universe couldn't make perfect simulations.
@@DarkWing494 You don't need a perfect simulation. We may live in an imperfect simulation, but haven't realized it yet. Some limits like causality speed or maybe some resolution (elementary particles or their alignment to grid or smallest quantities of time: Planck time etc.) or some optimizations (like the particle-wave duality) may be hints that we live in the simulation. Or maybe the reality is just odd. If we can discover exploits like perpetuum mobile, it will be a strong evidence for us living in a simulation IMHO.
Considering the fact our universe is odd, it suggests if we live in a simulation, it wasn't designed in the way to seem realistic to us - hypothetically you could create a simulation, which seems more realistic than reality (kind of like ancient Greeks were building skewed columns, so that they seem straight from far away).
In the end of the day, we already can drug someone to decrease his perception and analytic capabilities, then put VR goggles and earphones on him and he will confuse this experience with reality. Similarly, we might be drugged or otherwise significantly less mentally capable right now, and the creators of this simulation could have created a very simplified version of reality - but because we don't know/remember the reality, it seems to us our environment is complex beyond possibility to reproduce it in a simulation.
I always like making the joke that we're a simulation made by dinosaurs wondering how life would have evolved if they were wiped out
to them , films like jurrasic park would be either terrific or hilarious
Woah ! That just blew my mind! What a thought!
Yeah i thought something similar but about whales cuz whales have been here for millions of years and like maybe they have a society down there cuz of how much unexplored ocean there is
Everyone knows T-Rex did not have arms long enough to reach a keyboard. Check your arm and finger privilege.
He doesn't believe in aliens but believe in a stimulation. Smh
2:00 Waw, i just saw the recent Why Files video about the simulation and he also talked about the Speed of light being a limiter. That's where he got it from, from this video. I never thought of that, good point!!

1:46 i love how neil gets excited like a little child when he hears something that he has never thought of before , it shows how much he loves science and astronomy
He said “ ohh chuck hold me “
Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain. (Surat al-Tur, 53:34)
The wording in this verse is beautiful. It is speaking about cosmology. There is a funny story I would like to mention. One time a group of atheists said to God, okay we will explain the beginning of how it all started. God says, okay show me. Atheist says first there was a cloud of dust particles. God interrupts them and says ‘wait, start with your own dust particles.’ It is not true just a story to help you understand. The laws of science says you can’t make something out of nothing. An atheist would say then, “Who created Allah.” That is when Surat al-Ikhlas was revealed. You can read on that.
Yup he's a philosopher on top of it all
What they thought of is called delta time by us programmers. I finally knew something Neil Tyson didn't! Delta time is how we control the speed of our programs instead of how fast the hardware can process the program. That way our programs don't run to fast.
He is just alive and a awake soul brother 😊
We need more scientists like Neil to contest Neil man!
Imagine traveling at near speed of light and then suddenly getting trapped in a loading screen. Haha
Or get disconnected like halfway there, and the ship just disappears 😂
Right now if enough of us say that ethically we should create a simulated afterlife, for simulated copys of ourselves (if we ever simulate human minds), then do to simulation theory it increases the chances of us having an afterlife astronomically!
Maybe when we do, we can't process it cause our universe is loading and we are children of the universe thus we pause aswell and never notice the difference
If we're a simulation I'm really disappointed we didn't get the one that lets me get Superpowers.
Just wait imagine if we find the console commands lol
Maybe next time. The simulation might be just like a game people play, but completely immersive. When you die you can either play another game (if you have saved enough the one with superpowers :)), or you can choose reality.
Or it might be a training tool. As soon as people turn 4 they get connected to the simulation, where time might run faster, so that you can experience a whole life and learn all lessons, within a day, and when you are disconnected, you are a person with the experience of a lifetime. Obviously, if you were unable to learn the required lessons, you have to do the whole thing again. And again. And again. Until you have finally reached the necessary maturity to live in the real world (which might be one where everybody has superpowers.
Not having superpowers is the punishment for playing the game badly during your last try.

Maybe human engineers made us because they just could.

I love this theory so much Neil, but one thing I've been waiting to hear from you and many others is this one... Why has no one brought up the level of computer processing technology that would allow this? I know it's been *brought up* but to go layers deep in the thousands would mean base reality would have the be at a level we can't even imagine currently to continue running it *all* (as in the layers below up to the thousands or god forbid millions to run theirs below base reality...) Futurama did this in their recent season finale on Hulu! I'd love to see you two do a video, or a podcast discussing this further! Please do! Love your work, and thanks for the amazing content and education!
♥ Chuck. He's the perfect McMahon to the NdGT Carson.
I'm always bothered by the argument that:
we can't perfectly simulate ourselves
-- so --
we can't possibly convince characters we've created in a world that we've created for them with a set of rules we have created, that their reality is real.
What seems like imperfection to us, is all they know and "perfect".
Another idea: how do you know that your memories are real? For all you know, the experiences you remember could have been fabricated from the moment you woke up today and you just began your simulation this morning
Ooft...
Woah...i like it. Maybe this is why we have reoccurring dreams?
That’s not impossible.👍🇬🇧
Yeah another similar to theory is you're the only concious being and the rest is your imagination
I've always thought this same thing. When I start a new game in Minecraft, from the villagers perspective their ancestors built that village, taught them to grow crops, etc. However in reality their entire world has only existed for a few minutes. But they have no way of knowing that.

It's no big deal that we can imagine building a world of any kind anywhere at anytime as specific and perfect as is reality and then imagining we are really in that world.
In the first few minutes of the video itself, they went from someone creating a simulation to us being in a simulation...and that too flawlessly
One simple question : to be at the end or at the beginning of the simulation chain, we have to assume that one civilization simulates only one simulation. What if one simulation is running multiple simulations , so rather than being a liner flow it's more like a root branching out. So dart when thrown can hit a simulation without further simulation and odds change from 50/50 to way higher.
Think about it, we live in a very specific world, we can literally make a list of thousands of characteristics. What are the chances someone simulates our exact world? Literally one in infinity, while the chances that the world is as it seems is 99.99%
Yep Roopak, I was looking for this comment. You are right, every sim-capable universe could be running a ton of simulations, and then when they start running their own it becomes a tree structure and makes the odds of us being the first or one of the "leaves" very small again.
Yes I agree!1 he is only talking aboiut one stimulation creating only one simulation!
Roopak Kumar came here looking for this comment
Duncan, if we were in a simulation, everything is the way it is because of the simulation. Those characteristics would be of said simulation, not necessarily of the non simulated, base reality.
The simulators after watching: **nervous sweating** they’re becoming aware
Well, if we’re next in that supposed chain, maybe that’s what they want us to do, maybe that’s the legacy they leave to us and the one we have to leave someday to the next ones in the chain.

Strong hints that we live in video games or the matrix or simulation
1. Everythings on nature are based on math, algorithm and constant. Striking intention so it can be run on some kind of computer device
2. Everythings on fundamental level are quantized, other means of digitized. Striking intention so it can be run on specific kind of computer device, which is digital computer
3. It has distinct smallest unit of measures, not indefinately smaller. Similar to pixel in digital computer.
4. It has efficient rendering technique. Which is only render things when it being observed by the player. Once player is not observing, it going back to code and algorithm without need to be materialized
5. It has universal 'server tick' to synchronize everything and to avoid inconsistency around the simulated world. which is speed of light.
6. Since space and time are the output of algorithm, Anything unrelated to wolrd rendering algorithm, are not bound with space and time and can communicate instantly since it run outside the rendering algorithm. Such as quantum entanglement
7. Since almost everything is centered around the player, and almost everything is being rendered as per the player pbservation, not only future, but also any past time event is still on a form of code, and being rendered once the player is observing it. Thus, quantum delayed choice was happened
8. When the player dies, it could goes to spectator mode. Since the player viewport is not necessarily hard coded to the rendered body.

This is why I love science; all the crazy yet plausible theories are fun to explore
This isn't science as much as it is philosophy.
Sometimes its fun but sometimes scary
Oh stop.
@@raheelsarvana the question of whether it is possible is (primarily) philosophic, the question of whether we are living in one now is scientific
@@zacharycallaghan7016 none of this was scientific or philosophical.
Reminds me of that Rick & Morty episode "The Ricks Must Be Crazy" with a whole universe inside of Rick's car battery (and Stephen Colbert voices Rick's nemesis) :) Evocative and wild.
As someone who has witnessed many miracles and events and as an engineer and applying scientific/engineering thought to them, the only reasonable conclusion I can come to is that we are indeed living in a simulation. The events that I have experienced would be statistically so impossible that everyone who I tell my stories to conclude the same thing, either that or every action of us all is the work of some devine creator.
Wow great, hard stuff, what is then your experience wicht jusz allownto you and non to the thousends and thousands physicist
There is no devine creator and no simulation.
Unfortunately, Neil's "chain" argument assumes a linear progression: one simulation creating another.
What if one simulation created multiple simulations at the same time? Then we're back to the fact that statistically, we are in a simulation.
Excellent point.
Exactly my thoughts, pretty big oversight by Neil tbh.
Why are we assuming that the laws of probability and statistics work the way they do outside of our reality?!
Paranormal activity still remains in question though
It's still the same theory, except now you are putting us as the first stimulation from the original instead of number n stimulation. We will reach a point where we can make stimulations ourself, we just have not gotten there yet. It's still the same concept, one or the other, either you are the original or the latest stimulation, even if you are the nth number of stimulations created at the same time.

Of all tools invented and builded, I think that computing as we have now days is the most powerful one, and think that we are only in the beginning of it is surreal, just like Da Vince in the past we are painting with codes, and the potential of it is stunishing.
As someone who plays a lot of games, I always think of the speed of light being the render distance of our universe as a joke, hearing someone else say the same thing put a smile on my face! :D
we live no different from a video game sadly the government schools money social media make it worse I'd rather live in the jungle
Physicists are flat brain
Tides are an artifact of coastlines moving in stable seawater, caused by thermal expansion of the crust caused by moving sunlight.
Lunar gravity has nothing to do with anything on Earth. Scientists are dumber than pigs for believing that tides, which move at different speeds and in different directions one to four times a day in different locations and at heights ranging from 3 feet to 50 feet, are caused by the moon's gravity.

I love watching rational scientists work on problems like these. I imagine that ancient peoples had much the same conversations as they tried to work out the motivations and objectives and moralities of their gods.
Very thought provoking. Thank you.
Just read ancient philosophy books
Oh yeah they did, along with a huge communal bowl full of whine mixed with water.
The people from the old days were using their brains more than we do today, i.e collectively as a society because if they were thinking like we do now, we won't have all the technology and comfort we have now. It would be Just a world full of flat earth fanatics and that day is coming soon looking at how our education system is failing and how people confuse stupidity with freedom of speech.
Or while their bicameral minds were forming!
Very nice 👍
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
- Douglas Adams.
Neil: "What do all those simulations have in common?"
Chuck: "That they are all simulations?"
BOOM!!!
Chuck ain't wrong...
There could be multiple simulations in a single simulation.
That's what I was thinking. There should be billions or at least millions of simulations running in the "first" universe alone. So down the line that would mean there are still billions of simulations in the evolution phase, right?
@@scottmerts4036 If you are arguing about whether or not that would mean there are potentially an infinite number of "end simulations" that we could still be inside of, I believe that because we would be talking about different levels of infinity, it still wouldn't be a real solution that refutes what NDT points out from the book.
yeah
@@xIPatchy well the part about being in the physical universe or last evolution simulations might be true, but there would be a lot more simulations running the evolution phase than the total amount of simulations running in the first, so then it doesn't come down to a 50/50 outcome. If the first universe and all simulations would each run just 1 sim, then it would.
Scott Merts because we are talking about a level of infinity, aka an infinite loop of stacking simulations, multiplied by another level of infinity, the possibility of every simulation branching into multiple simulations, the likelihood of being inside of a simulation that is either an endpoint or the beginning is still the same, because while you are adding an infinite number of possible endpoints in your argument, you are actually creating a higher level of infinity at the same time, and cancelling it all out.
Love this conversation! However, I reject the assumption that a simulation must have the ability to recreate itself 1:1. Think of it in TV tech terms: the simulation above us could be 4k, we’re 1440p, and we create the 1080p equivalent simulation.
Wow...the speed of light is totally the processors limitation/speed.
There is a rick and morty episode called “the ricks must be crazy” about this exact same topic. Where rick created a world then the smartest guy in that world created a world and it kept going.
EXACTLY! I remember that episode!
Yeah was thinking about that
He created a microverse
A miniverse
That sounds like slavery with extra steps
at 4:40 I got chills knowing that, and the part where he says "maybe that's why we can't travel faster than the speed of light" we have become powerful beyond measure
The speed of light is probably the speed of the CPU power that is running the simulation. That is why it is a hard limit. The program/vm can not exceed the speed of the CPU, since that is the max calculation speed.
I think 2019 was a glitch in the simulation! Love these two!
Great fun! Thank you!
Is the reason for creating the simulation to predict the future and if we are the simulation does that mean we are the future knowing that info we create a new simulator to take the stress off of us and thus a line is created infinitely with a starting point
Neil deGrasse Tyson the first man to wear a shirt over his jacket, you saw it here first folks.
Simulation theory proven
Bruh.... I was thinking the same thing.
Bruh i didn't even notice until I read that..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😳
If it is proven not Theory anymore
@rapture ocotber 16, 2021 you ok bro?
So basically, the day we have enough computing power to completely simulate our world accurately, is the day we know that we are overwhelmingly likely to be living in a simulation ?
That's what he's saying, and I'm not super genius scientist but the logic doesn't follow. Does that mean I'm not hungry until I have the ability to eat? I'm not hot until I know how to cool off? I'm confused at the logic that settled Neil.
@@beezyj3227 My understanding is this: once we are able to simulate a world like ours, we can make multiple simulated worlds within our one “real” world. Knowing this, we can assume that there are more simulated worlds than “real” worlds. It would be more likely that the world we live in is a simulated world rather than a real world simply because there are more simulated worlds than real worlds.
Or we are the first
@retsaM innavoiG entertainment. we can be just a game for money, not a scientific playground.
@@beezyj3227 the problem is that you cannot know that. Unfortunately, you know how to breath before you physically born, as well as everything else. I think we can prove that world can be simulated, when we prove that world is Turing complete, which may be done before we found enough computing power (I am not sure that even quantum computer may be enough for simulating itself).
A lot of people don't realize that this life is just a fraction of the true amount of time we will be in existence, and I'm not talking about us as a whole, I'm talking about each of us individually. Look how deep existence runs, and the more we uncover, the more we see what we have yet to uncover and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
If we are living in a simulation, what's stopping someone from hacking into the simulation and changing some, or all of the rules that govern the simulation? Change gravity for example, or allow time travel. Anything should be possible, even something similar to magic, right?
Well if they are so advanced they can create the simulation in the first place they aren’t gonna be dumb enough just to let anything happen are they
Wait a minute this isn't related to coronavirus, thanks for that 🤗☺️
Honestly though..
No. It is. Covid 19 is just a big event in this simulation.
ya but notice how Neil touched the host's hand for emphasis -- How are we supposed to trust this Disease Vector about living in a simulation when he can't even respect other disciplines: virology etc
clumsiii Literally stop.
I was just thinking about that
I love how exciting they are when talk😂
This reminds me of the show 'Upload'.
if i was chatting i would use entropy as an argument to boost that chain-like thinking in hypothesis if we're in a simulation. Just as the speed of light looks like a fun limit when droodling some consequences of the hypothesis, i believe that entropy is a way to hold back simulation making when a universe is "created". Thinking of entropy really gets you back to classical big bang arguments that there could be no such thing as a simulation, but hey that is thermodynamics in our universe so I can't quite use that right? Well then the speed of light can neither be used. Guess we still don't know but i like the statistical way of approaching it
Drinking game: take a shot every time Neil touches chuck’s hand
He's telling him to stop talking so he can talk more.
Thanks now I have alcohol poisoning:/

I haven’t noticed this until you said that 😐
4:13 the look of disappointment 😂😂
I admit that was a great moment. 😂
There's also the fact that every simulation is limited by the constraints of the previous one, which means, unless reality has an infinite amount of processing power, there must be a final simulation incapable of creating another for lack of resources, and that one could be us.
Chaos and disorder have been more prevalent than order throughout the existence of our Universe; given an infinite amount of time, a Universe arising randomly from disorder dwarfs the number of Universes arising from such an unbelievably constrained perquisite. Don’t really feel like using calories to think up more counterexamples which won’t put food on the table.
What if people who can control their lucid dream are hackers
jokicha lucid dream by definition is dreaming with complete control
W. Joy P How?
Than I guess I am a hacker cause controling my dreams and thus it becoming a lucid dream.. I did that a number of times.
What if this is a lucid dream too and you just don’t believe that so you have no control because you don’t know this is just a dream yet
I used to be a extremely lucid dreamer now with the stress in my life I lost that power :/
Simulations creating simulations endlessly leads me to believe that we could be a self-replicating computer virus.
Adrees Mukhtar, you just blew my mind.
what do you mean by "could be"?
Will Pack, what if there are two independent simulations that are separated by nothingness? I mean, with no space or time between them?
Will Pack, lol
What if the simulation is Earth and we are the virus and Coronavirus are the antibodies
They didn't get into the double slit test where it's been discovered that matter behaves completely differently if it is observed or not.This to me shows we are in a simulation.
I have had this same confusion a while ago and I just feels really strange
I can’t believe how excited Neil got when Chuck suggested the speed of light/CP parody.
Yeah I enjoyed that
