A plea to the user, admin (God)
August 24, 2007 – 10:47 amOwing to the nature of the simulation it is my humble proposal to see for myself who it is that is running it, and to humbly ask you to send me a video of the physical universe in which the machine is installed, which should not be hard, I am not asking you for the source code. As a bargaining chip I’d like to note that I have discovered the technique by which you manage to sustain a computing power to emulate the universe, within your universe, that is, I know why it is possible for you to store seemingly all the information in the universe within a simulation: you have removed some basic physics properties from the universe engines, thus causing multiple insolvent mysteries for us in our physical universe, and, yes, I know that these are rather mistakes - universe parameters surrendered to randomness in order to sustain the far more important task of maintaining a planet (or planets) of intelligent beings. The mystery=mistake paradigm is apparent - our greatest scientific finding (quantum mechanics) is that matter characteristics can only be discovered by chance - a sloppy trick which makes all big things (space objects, galaxies) work, but fails considerably at all things small, forcing us to build larger and larger equipment only to consistently discover error in the smaller parts of the system. It is probably an efficient trick to assume that there is only this far that we can dig and that surrendering basic forces (gravity, particle property fields) to a prescription, rather than a formula, would ultimately fool us, but, it didn’t fool me. My humble request thus is for you to send me a video, please determine appropriate format, of you and your surroundings.
Yours, Quentin.
