Do we live in a matrix-like world?

Here's the story written in the Times yesterday. It's just the basics of the theory, which really does seem to be just a stretch of imagination that isn't quite verifiable (at this moment in time).

Here is a very interesting 48 minute long video that discusses the ideas being pondered in cosmology and physics, as it relates to the laws of nature, our origins, a creator, and the simulation theory. Enjoy.

Very, very interesting philosophy. I've wondered it at times... perhaps we're limited to not fully understand it by our circuitry? Perhaps it is all an illusion?

This reminds me of thoughts that I'm sure everyone has... what if everything else is all fake? What if this is some kind of TV show? What if it's all a dream?

As I said, a very interesting and proving philosophy. Makes you wonder...

Yeah, while these thought processes are certainly interesting the point that they have 0 evidence supporting their claims means you need to keep yourselvs in check.

It's certainly worth thinking about, and mentaly exploring. However, it's NOT worth getting upset about, or making any life altering desicions over. Hell, if you're getting excited, or upset you probably need to sit down and play some video games or something.

Try watching Tron. Life inside a computer can involve glowing suits and disc throwing games.
