Non-existence

[dagda]

Ah, but here we have the problem. Science works within, not beyond, the material universe. Any flaw or blemish, if you will, that exists in that universe will not be discovered by science in its present form because the blemish will appear, and be disguised, in the results of the scientific enquiry, not through coincidence, but because science is working with the 'contaminated' factor-e.g. the 'fake' universe-or in other words, a flaw in the core function will replicate in all other results. Hope that is clear.

It's clear that it's rubbish because, and non of you have adequately dealt with this yet, if the universe is virtual you have a more complex universe because a virtual universe must be "hosted". That means a real universe is simpler and therefore a more realistic assumption.

Kyu, whta you are doing here is creating my argument for me so that you can dismantle the thread. Stop making this something it is not. I never said that the universe was virtual. This thread is about finding proof for your 'theory' not mine.

Even if that were not the case, your post takes as its proof that a 'virtual' universe would be to much like hard work hence we should ignore the possibility. Sorry, lathargy is not a proof.

'The equality of one and one is the reason science exists, therefore science is likely applicable to the beyondiverse\. '

Intresting idea. I had not thought about this. The only problem I can see is that if the byondiverse (I like that, hope you don't mind me using it) is equal to this universe, then it would be hard to distinguish one from the other in scientific results-we would just assume that the readings were anomalies from our own universe hence the reading would slip under the radar.
