Are we living in a simulation?





A lighthouse is a good example of an isolated place. What if some person lives entirely life in that kind of place. And plays some computer games? Would those games turn to reality? 

Is reality an simulation? Before you will start to laugh we must determine the simulation. Many people believe that simulations are only things like computer programs. But there are also other types of simulations. The main types of simulations are: 


1) Computer-based virtual simulations like computer games. 

2) Physical simulations like military exercises.

3) Hybrid simulations where operators control robots at operational areas. 


The virtual or virtual reality-based simulations are the computer programs that are running on virtual reality. And things like computer games are one version of simulations. 

But the physical simulations also exist. Physical simulations are things like military exercises. The physical simulation means that person would go to some area. And then that person starts to make things like assault practices. Those are needed for some special things. Things like fire simulations for firemen training are also physical simulations. 

When we are thinking about virtual simulations those simulations can be independent. They might not have a connection with the real world. But there is the possibility that there is a hybrid simulation where the operator is controlling things like remote-control jet fighters or field-operating man-looking robots. So the operator would sit on the chair and control things that are happening in the field. That kind of simulation allows making real-life attacks against air defense stations. 


The Solar Warden is the theory of the modern Kaspar Hauser. That fully isolated person would live in a place where is no real contact with outsiders. 


The idea of living in simulation begins with Kaspar Hauser. That boy has grown in a cell where his only toy was the horse(1). You can read his story from Wikipedia. But by using modern technology is possible to make the "modern Kaspar Hauser". Have you ever thought about what happens if some person grows at the lone island or deep-sea base? 

When we are thinking about things like "Solar Warden". In conspiracy theories "Solar Warden" means imaginational space station that is orbiting the sun. We forget that "Solar Warden" might mean the lone island. The idea of that thing is stolen from the novel " The Little Prince". by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The "Little Prince" lives on his asteroid. The thing is that the "little Prince" is the symbol of the isolated person. 

So what if we would replace the word "asteroid" by using the word "island"? There is, of course, made a version about that tale where the "island" is the base like nuclear command bunker where the information is fully controlled? What if our Little Prince would live at the Cheyenne Mountain command center all his life? What kinds of things that person might think about the world. What if somebody claims that the world outside Cheyenne Mountain is destroyed in the nuclear war? Would somebody come out and check the things. 

There is one very interesting story about the Finnish lighthouse at Bengtskär. When the youth of the lighthouse guard came to school on the mainland that person didn't even know what were trees. The lighthouse is in a place where are no other islands. And there is the possibility that the person would not see trees before. If the person would not have any other contact with the outer world the people who share information might control everything that isolated person knows. 

And they might call the planet where they are Neptune. Or they can even create their religion for those people who have no other contact with the outer world than some selected person. The thing is that the people who might have no contact with other reality than information that the controller shares might believe that the world is destroyed in the nuclear war.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
