Default Physicist creates AI algorithm that may prove reality is a simulation

A scientist devised a computer algorithm which may lead to transformative discoveries in energy and whose very existence raises the likelihood that our reality could actually be a simulation.

No algorithm could predict this...

A duck walks into a bar and asks the bartender, “Got any grapes....?”

Actually the algorithm would predict the rest of it if it was given enough machine learning time...


A duck walks into a bar and asks "Got any grapes?"
Bartender says "What? Grapes? No, this is a bar, not a fruit store. Get out, duck"

Next day the duck comes back, "Got any grapes?"
Bartender says "Dammit duck, I told you to get out. Quit coming here asking for grapes or I'm going to nail your beak to a barstool.

Next day the duck comes back, "Can I borrow a hammer?"
Bartender is furious, "What's with you duck? Does this look like a hardware store? It's a bar! I don't have any hammers here!"

Duck grins, "Good. Got any grapes?"

Good companion video. If the universe really is laid out in elegant math, then the odds are we are a simulation created by some super-intelligence.

Mind Blowing. Depending on the cells of course but they turn over every two weeks... The neurons in our brains are completely different cells in a short amount of time and yet it doesn't change the "information" that is stored in our brain?

How is that not a hint at the sub-consciousness being elsewhere? Considering the sub-conscious really does make the decisions before we are consciously even aware we made the decision... (science proved it), that also makes me think the information is being let's say "downloaded" from elsewhere. It's definitely not 5G but it could be 1024G.

In any case, Elon Musk working on the neural link and he is still convinced we are living in a simulation.

Before you say, now wait a minute, neurons do not regenerate...

Until recently, neuroscientists believed that the central nervous system, including the brain, was incapable of neurogenesis and unable to regenerate. However, stem cells were discovered in parts of the adult brain in the 1990s, and adult neurogenesis is now accepted to be a normal process that occurs in the healthy brain.

...so does this mean I DON’T have to pay income taxes?

No, only that it isn’t your fault if you don’t.

Wouldn't be a very realistic simulation without them.
