While I have great respect for Musk and know he is very smart, he is not a cosmologist, astrophysicist or theoretical physicist. So I'm going to disregard him

While I have great respect for Musk and know he is very smart, he is not a cosmologist, astrophysicist or theoretical physicist.
So I'm going to disregard him on this one.
If this is a purposeful simulation done by an advanced intelligence, then it is a sick puppy.
If he means this is an accidental simulation, ie. a projection of 4D from a 3D plane, or a 4D shadow from a 5D plane, then maybe, just maybe.
- merpnderp 10y agoHe makes it clear he's speaking of an advanced intelligence as he explains how soon (relatively speaking) we'll be creating such simulations.
- LeifCarrotson 10y agoHe didn't come up with the idea. Philosophers came up with the idea, and Musk read about it. The media doesn't report much on relatively obscure philosophical discussions, but they do report on what celebrities talk about.
