RE: Are we all just part of a computer simulation? Scientists are trying to find that out.

I have wondered whether quantum effects are in fact the manifestation of flaws in a simulation program.
"simulation" IMPLIES a cognition. A COGNITION IS NOT REQUIRED for the universe to exist therefore IT CANNOT BE A SIMULATION, anymore than a hurricane is a "simulation"
Damn it this crap gives me jock itch. Why the fuck does anyone feel the need to interject any kind of "thought" being the starting point? If you seriously believe this "could be" a simulation then you might as well believe in the old myths of antiquity too. This is just the si fi version of deluded crap in the flawed perception that we need something rather being the result of a non thinking process.
