You're going to use simulated experiments to prove or disprove we're in a simulation? Based on our simulated understanding of the physical laws of our simulated universe?
- cortesoft 10y agoThere are people working on ways we could prove or disprove we are in a simulation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis#Testing_the_hypothesis_physically https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis#Testing_...
- roywiggins 10y agoThere are tests that would be evidence for simulation, but not really any that are evidence against. Just because we can't see evidence of the simulation where we look doesn't mean it's not a better simulation than we can probe, or our gods are mucking with our perceptions to make every test come out negative. There aren't any experiments that would actually falsify the hypothesis that our entire world is a fabrication because those experiments could also be fabricated. This is true for finding proof of God: A spectacular miracle is pretty good evidence, but lack of a miracle can't ever disprove the theory.
