NOT by "computers"

Since there is a significant chance that a future generation of technologically advanced post-humans will run ancestor-simulations by powerful computers, then we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.

Why? To simulate these realities, you need to know and understand every single facet of it. Therefore there would be nothing to learn from it. We'd already know it to have to program it. The course of evolution, the way all cells and molecules behave, the way a 3 body system moves, etc.

No good reason, they'd have the answers.

Okay, sorry to say it, but that was nonsense.

Dinosaurs went extinct before the "post-dinosaur stage" which is essentially chickens, and a bunch of other stuff. So what?

"Any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history." What? How can you know -- do you see the future, so that you can know what any "posthuman civilization" is likely or not likely to do? Good grief!

"We are almost certainly living in a computer simulation." And the evidence for that near certainty is...... ?

Indications of us living in a simulated reality:

1. A particle passing through a double-slit behaves as a wave causing an interference pattern when unobserved, but this same particle doesn't create an interference pattern when its path of travel can be determined by an observer. This collapse of the wave-function could be happening in order to save computational resources necessary for our simulated reality.


Delayed choice quantum eraser experiment set-up removes observer effect to rule out observer-interaction with wave-particle as possible explanation for the collapse of the wave-function.

2. There's a mark of intelligence left in our genetic coding perhaps indicative of an intelligent designer who might be responsible for the simulation of our reality. Our genetic code's creator has left this mathematical pattern in our genetic code conveying to me the symbol of an Egyptian triangle as well as the number 37 embedded in our genetic code.
Eight of the canonical amino acids can be sufficiently defined by the composition of their codon's first and second base nucleotides. The nucleon sum of these amino acids' side chains is 333 (=37 * 3 squared), the sun of their block nucleons (basic core structure) is 592 (=37 * 4 squared), and the sum of their total nucleons is 925 (=37 * 5 squared ). With 37 factored out, this results in 3 squared + 4 squared = 5 squared, which is representative of an Egyptian triangle.


3. Theoretical physicist Dr. S. James Gates Jr. claims that a certain string theory, super-symmetrical equations describing the nature and reality of our universe, contains embedded computer codes; these codes have digital data in the form of 0's and 1's identical to what makes web browsers function, and they're error-correct codes.

If for nothing else, good ole' entertainment value. If I could, I'd run an ancestral simulation of my distant ancestors.

With the wave-function collapsing in order to conserve computational power of a simulator device, a semantic message in genetic coding, and the computer coding found buried deep within the mathematical equations of super symmetry., seems to me like we are living in a simulation.

Now what do you, my fellow simulated beings think?

I wouldn't.

And it sounds too much like Assassin's Creed.

You might not want to view your simulated ancestors, but it'd only take one person in a technological advanced civilization with one powerful enough computer and controller wanting to view his simulated ancestors that'd create an ancestral simulation.

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
If you make your reality a simulation then you can have much greater powers over the conditions of your own existance than if you didn't

If this is a simulation then what is consciousness? And what would base reality look like. Are we then living in lower dimensions, and our simulator exists in higher dimensions?
