Neil deGrasse Tyson: Chance the Universe is a Simulation is Very High

[The Resonte!]

Take anything about the simulation theory with a grain of salt.  There is no proof of it.

what if that's PART OF THE SIMULATION

[Ad Bot]

[SinnerOG]

I have considered this theory before inside my own mind. It's an interesting theory.

Things like this are very interesting because there is no true proof for it or no true proof against it?

both are true
there is no evidence for or against it
and it's very fallacious to assume that because there is no evidence against something that it must be true

Sorry, I used true, which cannot really be authenticated in a literary/scientifical sense, instead of actual or something but the point still stands that it is a logical fallacy - I forget which fallacy it is specifically but it refers to like how survival of the fittest is a logical fallacy? (the fittest survive and the survivors are the fittest) - but nonetheless I dunno how else to phrase what I mean.

It's time for me to come clean, guys.

I'm actually the higher power. I created the world because I was lonely and did not have any ground to stand out. I named it Earth because it rhymes with "birth" and that's the method I used for making everything continue living. All I am is just an attention whore and I made all you human societies to interact amongst yourselves so that I wouldn't be by myself :(((

[hodot]

this is how the sims feel

do THEY have a philosopher in their universe who comes up with these things?

[Becquerel]

what if
neil degrasse tyson is only a PART OF THE SIMULATION TOO

[Drydess]

what if
neil degrasse tyson is only a PART OF THE SIMULATION TOO

what if he's the higher being that he talked about

[Flamecannon]

what if he's the higher being that he talked about

I mean he does have a space ship and the ability to see the calendar of the universe among other supernatural abilities.

[kongo]

what if humanity is just a prank

[sir dooble]

I highly doubt he'd be the only one not surprised. He's far from the first person to come up with this idea, or even think it's likely.

Anyone else take that quote as being incredibly smug?

[SteveJenkins]

*raises hand*


he's just discussing a theory, a theory which isnt new

neil isnt as impressive as he makes himself sound

[C-Zech Chrome Ind.]

Ah, but what simulates the simulator?

And after that, what simulates the simulator that's simulating the simulator?
