How a simulation could reveal anything? A simulation has no connection to reality whatsoever. One single major (or even minor) factor missed in the model, and the whole thing is a bullshit. Imaginable factors with real weights - same kind of result.
Simulations and probabilistic estimations could be applied only to fully observable environments.
- Panoramix 10y agoWhere did you get that this was a simulation? The were analyzing telescope data.
- lngnmn 10y agoAnalysis presupposes some model.
- Panoramix 10y agoThe entirety of physics is a bunch of models that match reality to various degrees, and which are able to predict things.
- lngnmn 10y agoThat does not mean that unproved (non-existent) factors should be added to a model or that any inferences could be made from a simulated model. Experiment, not a simulation is the criterion of validity in the scientific method. Simulation is not a valid experiment. Hypotheses and predictions are guesses, not facts and cannot be substituted for facts or logical premises.
