If we're in a simulation we could be infinitely many years behind those doing the simulating (define "infinity" as some number of years N > 10^9? 10^10?) <br /><br />How many years until we could do such simulations? 10^2? 10^3? 10^5 maybe?? Probably not much more than this... Which is still just an instant in time.David Appellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318269033139447591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837843.post-51174289781041701822019-08-15T09:58:34.015-07:002019-08-15T09:58:34.015-07:00I think that op-ed about the risks of testing if w...I think that op-ed about the risks of testing if we live in a sumulation is somewhat silly. If the people running the simulation care, it will be trivial for them to detect any such experiment and fix the simulation so that it will give a negative result.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13637003962678558195noreply@blogger.com
