if we're in a simulation (and i'm about 99% sure we are), then it makes sense that a theory of everything would be about the one data type that you see all the fucking timeyou would call it>"string" theory
>>16823099i'm going with multiple experience-level simulations linked together in some kind of network
>>16823110doesn't make sense to simulate the whole universe, you just need to simulate the POV experiences of the PCs
>>16823089>if we're in a simulation (and i'm about 99% sure we are)
Regarding photons as the fundamental abstract object > abstract information theory (raw idealism)Photons move at c, do not experience time and thus are not created or destroyed.Time and matter derive from energy gradients.Thus, we dont have to toy w simulation theories, pure abstract idealism, or infinite simulation regress.
>>16823147Midwit meme. The first two are religious metaphors intentionally using familiar things as symbols. The last two are literal materialist attempts at explaining reality with zero self-awareness.
>>16823147>the universe is all books!please explain to me how you can make a machine capable of simulating a virtual reality out of pieces of paper, you fucking retard
>>16823089They aren't talking about data type digital strings, they are talking about fabric type analog strings.
>>16823244You forgot the part where gears are just wheels with extra parts.
>>16823839oh the ones made of yarn? shit
>>16823841Yes, they call it the fabric of space and since fabric is made of strings, so too must space be.
>>16823840wheels are just bespoken circles
>>16825683No, wheels are 3d, circles are 2d.
