  you mean like like each prime makes up one of the unique universal souls that exist throughout time and space? whoa
  • heyjudy 8y ago
    The universe is likely a simulation, so a soul maybe a prime primary key and so use a Mersenne prime to save space as a form of compression because only n needs to be stored, not the full bitstring. The real question is: does the universe have microcode opcodes to operate on Mersenne primes natively without expanding them? PS: Atheist ;)

      Likely a simulation... Even though there isn't any empirical evidence of this fact... But you still believe? Is athiesm just another form of religion these days?

      If the universe is a simulation, isn't the programmer effectively God? And: "Likely"? Objection, your honor. Assumes facts not in evidence.

        Good call. Well, if humans ever happen to create such a simulator themselves, will they effectively become God?
        • AnimalMuppet 8y ago
          To the simulation, probably yes.
