We have long struggled to understand why the universe began with the conditions suitable for life to evolve. Are we living in a simulation?

    I love this stuff.. humanists version of GOD.. As for math. every mathametion ( I have been having a hard time spelling some of these word. I guess the 1952 brain cells have gone past there sell by date) thinks the world runs by math. When math is just a more precices language to help us understand what is going on.. But I think we have over thought this whole thing and missed some fundamental points.. What those are I have not grasped yet.. Maybe I am totally wrong.. But I do not think so.. some basic facts have been over looked in our quest to know everything.. But knowing is not understanding Man I am glad to be home! carry on my friends..

    This is very profound, Quantum Mechanics deals with subatomic particles, and as for the Universe being a simulation that is a theory, I will remain skeptical about this until or if it can be proven, Thank you Cosmoknowledge and crew. 👍 😎

    This theory fails because it conflates a language–mathematics–with what the language describes. It would be like saying the world is English because everyone you know only speaks/reads English. How anthropocentric can you get?

    We each live in a parallel universe of our own.. and like with dimensions, the only force that makes it across and moves back and forth across our separateness in a relevant way is gravity. That is my theory. And gravity is the only thing which allows us to perceive and experience the universe in a similar way.. but never identical. The closest to identical is what we call love, because with physical contact is where you get the greatest transfer of gravitational energy between bodies. And what we call Love is our quest to perceive universes in an identical way. But of course this, ultimately, can never happen. Hence our continuously flawed and disappointed evolution. And hence our continuous failure to explain God. Actually a rationally explained God would be one that says that our pursuit to perceive universes in identical ways is behind everything.

      You don’t have to believe anything. Theories get invented and an intelligent society can evaluate them. That’s how we evolve and move on.
