Brain Cells and the Universe

[Confused Ape]

And the consciousness of that computer is the living God who programed himself into his own simulation as his own son who died for the sins of humanity? It makes sense now, I'll see you in church.

I don't think there's a Christian denomination which covers that. We'll have to start our own if Martin Savage and his team find any proof for the simulation idea.

Is The Universe Just A Computer Simulation?

Physicists are trying to find out the answer by designing a new experiment to test if the universe itself is a computer,

"The theory basically goes that any civilization which could evolve to a 'post-human' stage would almost certainly learn to run simulations on the scale of a universe. And that given the size of reality - billions of worlds, around billions of suns - it is fairly likely that if this is possible, it has already happened,"

If, however, the universe is really a giant brain it wouldn't need an advanced civilisation to create the simulation we're living in.
