Proof?

Of Simulation?

Well...

1) A technological society (aliens of a conception of "God") could eventually achieve the capability of creating a computer simulation that is indistinguishable from reality to the inhabitants of the simulation.

2) Such a society would not do this once or twice.
They would create many such simulations.

3) Left to run long enough the societies within the simulations would eventually be able to create their own simulations, also indistinguishable from reality to the sub-simulations inhabitants.

So there are potentially and exponentially growing billions of simulations, with an infinite number of cascading sub-simulations, all perfectly real to their inhabitants.

The math is very simple...
the odds are nearly infinity to one that we are all living in a computer simulation.

What makes you believe reality may be a simulation? And more importantly, does it even matter? Does it change how you live your life, so to speak? And what do you believe is the purpose of the simulation? Simply to have an experience?

It doesn't matter if you are who you say you are, I'm just curious. :)

IF this is a Simulation.. then the next question becomes

What is RUNNING It

Is there a User Link on The Inside of The Machine that is 'In Charge' of Running The Simulation

Or is The Managing Head of The Simulation.. Outside/Above The Simulation

1/Why do I believe?

Good question

Forget the math for a second

As I started to become absurdly wealthy,
I noticed a mechanism of action in the universe

A mechanism that "makes things happen"

My success seemed, well, unnatural...

Do not get me wrong- I am smart and deserve success...

However, I began to see... patterns in life...

I was faced with the choice of become a religious zealot to explain it-
or seek an alternative, scientific answer...

When I saw The Matrix, it rang incredibly true

I read more about quantum physics and metaphysics

I met major minds in the field

And I then talk to Nick Bostrom

He convinced me

Does that answer your question?

I just want to say thank you for trying to get us out into the universe.

But we will not get there with rockets. Can you look into new tech like gravity drives, pulse drives....other forms of propulsion we have not worked with yet...
Or we have, just not been privy to the info.

Anyway, if this is you...big fan, you inspire me.

2/ He mastered ELECTRICITY and we make, well, electric cars

People have had that theory WAY before Elon Musk did. He just copied somebody else's theories.

If This is a Simulation.. The Shadow Military already knows it

And In Order to Control said Simulation..

They would have discovered what controls The Actions of The 7 Billion Subset Interactive Userbase

It is The Source Codes Pre-Programmed with The DNA of The Interactive Userbase

Or is it a Higher Source Code that Runs all of The 7 Billion Interactive Userbases

And then we get into The Free Will Argument..

How Much Free Will will the 7 Billion Interactives be Allowed to have..

Re: ++ I Am In Fact Elon Musk / I Believe Reality May Be a Simulation / Ask Me A Question
Hi Elon, (or simulated Elon)

So you are saying that there is a reality, a baseline reality from which simulations are derived? For something to be a "simulation" there needs to be a something that it is a simulation of.

More likely (in my mind) is that EVERYTHING is an "expression" of infinite mind/God/Alpha Omega whatever you want to call it.

However, assuming you are correct,that I am living in a simulated reality then how can I use that knowledge to help pay off my mortgauge and college tuition for my daughters?

Oh, and do you have any interest in wind energy? and how's that hyperloop thingy going? You may be too young to know but they were using that in department stores when I was a kid, for sending payments up to accounting or something.

Cheers!
