The simulation hypothesis.

most of it is guess work even einstein proved wrong. if you didnt know this already the human brain reaches full development at 40 - 43. thats why most people have mid life crisis because finally many things become clear.

Yes, they realise what's coming, the inevitable

Well we humans did literally invent the concept of time.

Sorry but so wrong. Time is the fourth dimension and an essential construct of the universe. Humans invented the concept of 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, etc. They did not invent the concept of time.

The human brain reaches full development in mid to late 20s.

you should google that. your brain reaches full potential at age 43. obviously this depends on the person and what bs study you believe. as said einstein has been proven wrong and many people base many material on his workings.

how could he devise what space is off maths ? you cant. its that simple. unless you have either been there through the eg you are talking about. all just bs theory.

" In general, men and women cannot reach full maturity until their brains are fully developed at around age 25. However, some studies have shown that men do not fully mature until age 43… and that women reach maturity at age 32! "

as said this actually explains mid life crisis in people. they actually realize many things for the first time then start to panic .

I'm not entirely convinced on some of the stuff where people claim they've proved Einstein wrong, especially when it comes to some of the quantum entanglement stuff I think it is more they don't like his explanations or the implications of his explanations (or at least his hand waving as to the direction of the explanation(s)) and I don't find their alternatives fully convincing. He might not be right but IMO potentially more on the right lines than some people want to accept.

The trouble is when you are talking about things that complicated you need to provide proof to back up your theories. Look at one proof(may or maybe not completely correct given what is being found out now) E=MC² a simple equation that when explained in a simple way it was understandable but covered a complex answer that only other mathematicians could prove.
 
  • The only thing that exists is the present moment, everything else is not real as it's not happening at this moment.
  • Time only matters on this planet, as it's a construct created to understand the linear nature of consistent present moments.
  • Technically we're all just living "an experience" of such
  • There are infinite parallel present realities / universes occurring for you at this very moment. You're just tapped into this one you're experiencing.
  • We live in a society that was created to be as it is. Work / die.
  • If we don't feel like we fit into that society, we're often plunged into depression or anxiety and then given drugs to "help us"
  • Biggest killer of anything is self doubt
  • Biggest thing to practice is self love
  • The Four Agreements is a huge first step to break those internal cycles
  • You can make everything possible you want
  • Come at me bro
  • Don't @ me
:D

Humans more often or not have to apply some level of logic and data to create a level of understanding.
I am equally a logical and analytical person, but some things just can't be explained and we happily accept that...

Space?!

So, you're telling me there is this growing, infinite "space" that our planet is floating in and we as humans evolved on this planet, alone, surrounded by infinite nothingness. We are happy to accept that as a concept but so many other things we can't seem to get our logical heads around.

It will always depend on how things are explained. To most a simple explanation is all they need, to others they need to go deeper and others need to go even further.

Hello forum users.

The Matrix was a documentary first released in 1984 but oh no, was it? The central conceit centers on Hollywood escort Vivian Ward and wealthy businessman Edward Lewis. Vivian is hired to be Edward's escort for several business and social functions, and their relationship develops during her week-long stay with him. The film's title Pretty Woman is based on the 1964 song "Oh, Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison. The original screenplay was titled “3,000,” and was written by then-struggling screenwriter J. F. Lawton the idea of a dystopian future in which humanity is unknowingly trapped inside the Matrix, a simulated reality that intelligent machines have created to distract humans while using their bodies as an energy source.[7] When computer programmer Thomas Anderson, under the hacker alias "Neo", uncovers the truth, he joins a rebellion against the machines along with other people who have been freed from the Matrix.

The simulation hypothesis proposes that what humans experience as the world is actually a simulated reality, such as a computer simulation in which humans themselves are constructs.[1][2] There has been much debate over this topic, ranging from philosophical discourse to practical applications in computing.

The simulation hypothesis, as formulated by Nick Bostrom,[3] is part of a long tradition of skeptical scenarios. It was presented by Bostrom as not merely a philosophical speculation, but an empirical claim with quantifiable probabilities. The hypothesis has received criticism from some physicists, such as Sabine Hossenfelder who has called it pseudoscience,[4] and cosmologist George F. R. Ellis, who stated that "[the hypothesis] is totally impracticable from a technical viewpoint", and that "late-night pub discussion is not a viable theory".[5][6] Versions of the hypothesis have also been featured in science fiction, appearing as a central plot device in many stories and films, such as The Matrix.[7] (I just posted that wiki, goddammit)

What a piece of work is man!
How noble in reason!
How infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable!
in action how like an angel!
in apprehension, how like a god!
the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!
And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

Or is it all just late night pub discussion? Empty your thoughts in the bowl.

It's kinda a question of "what lies outside the universe?". God? A computer programmer? Aliens? All three?

It's jumping the gun. We can't even explain the way the universe works, yet we try to guess why it works that way?

If Mr E was correct, then the past exists.
This is because time is relative, and so the "present" is not the same throughout the universe for all observers. If there are multiple "presents" then some will be the past to others, so the past must exist.
Either that, or I really should stop putting vodka on my cornflakes.

Although there's not really such a thing as now as, by the time you've thought it, it's already passed.

Yes, exactly... but it is that very moment. What you're doing at that moment, because when it's passed, it's not happening, it happened. The thing with the past is that it's viewed through a personal lens, so we all have different views of past events which are dictated by our own previous experiences and emotions. How many times have you argued with a partner because their version of past events is wildly different to yours?
This means that history is only memories and only exists if written down (an interpretation of the event), or remembered by people. As soon as those things don't exist, it's gone.
Doesn't mean it didn't happen, though.

Can you define 'moment' though? We talking milliseconds, hours, months?

E: But yes, past is pretty much a personal experience.
