The Holographic Universe and Pi = 4 in Kinematics!

Incidentally, while I have no idea about gravityblock's views on this matter.  I find creationists often opposed to the idea of man-made intelligence equal (in that respect) to humans.  Which if this is the case for gravityblock then it's funny because that's probably an outcome of this paper being true.

I am not opposed to the idea of man-made intelligence equal to humans.  In fact, I believe this has already occurred and has greatly exceeded the intelligence of humans beyond our wildest dreams.  I believe they have synthetic telepathy (mind control) devices, also known as v2k, connected wirelessly to a quantum computer with a synthetic brain via fiber optic cables and a brain-computer interface.  The D-Wave Quantum Computer is the world's first commercially available quantum computer.  In summary, Skynet is real!  Imagine a quantum computer interfaced with the minds of the entire world's population while exploiting the human intelligence of every individual on this planet and running it through it's AI program.  You must remember, we are not in our original state as first created.

Transhumanist movement (video): To merge man's biological thinking and existence with technology to the point where there is no distinction between human and machine.  This was prophesied in the ancient manuscripts, as shown in the following verses.  Also, we have achieved immortality, and the immortality of man is prophesied in Revelation 9:6.  So, I wouldn't expect anything less than these things to occur, along with other things.  In the following verses, the iron represents technology, and the clay represents flesh.  Iron mixed with miry clay: Mark of the Beast being welcomed in (video).   X Marks the spot of the Beast! (video).

Dan 2:41   And whereas thou saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou saw the iron mixed with miry clay.

Dan 2:42   "And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and part of clay, [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken".

Dan 2:43   "And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay".

We were made in the "Image of God", and the adversary of God is out to destroy this Image through transhumanism, which is the de-evolution of mankind into a beast.  Do not worship "the image of the beast" or take "the mark of the beast".  This will lead to a total enslavement of mankind, and will lead to a spiritual death.

Matthew 24:37  "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man".

Go get your own dirt!

One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.

The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."

God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this, let's say we have a man making contest." To which the scientist replied, "OK, great!"

But God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."

The scientist said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.

God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own dirt!"

I am not opposed to the idea...

But you sure are opposed to the idea of answering simple straight-forward questions.

Option 4) should have been - blather about something entirely irrelevant to the point.

My money is on 1.

The idea of man-made intelligence being equal to humans is probably an outcome of this paper being true?  You have just inadvertently added evidence for this paper being statistically strong and inadvertently admitted the outcome of this paper as probably being true.  God will catch the wise in their own craftiness.

More formally: If the universe is simulated in the way the paper presumes.  Then it seems reasonable for people living in this simulated universe to create machine intelligences at least equal to humans.

You have just inadvertently added evidence for this paper being statistically strong

Probably not.  Because the expectation is not exclusive to the idea that the universe is simulated and there is no machine intelligence which is demonstrably equivalent to humans.

inadvertently admitted the outcome of this paper as probably being true.

Why do you think that?

God will catch the wise in their own craftiness.

Apparently the stupid are just allowed to avoid the question a lot.  :-)

1.)  The authors of this paper would not take seriously the possibility that our universe is a numerical simulation if it was not statistically strong (see simulationProof.png in the image below).

2.)  You inadvertently added evidence for this paper being statistically strong and inadvertently admitted the outcome of this paper as probably being true.

3. )  Modifications that exhibit cubic symmetry, would be suggestive of a structure consistent with an underlying discretization of space-time (see simulationProof3.png in the image below).

4.)  Footnote #4 says, "there are a number of peculiar observations that could be attributed to our universe being a simulation" (see simulationProof4.png in the image below).

5.)  The discovery of the string landscape, and the current inability of string theory to provide a useful predictive framework which would post-dict the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model, provides the simulators (future string theorists?) with a purpose: to systematically explore the landscape of vacua through numerical simulation.  Why would the authors of this paper suggest the discovery of the string landscape provides the simulators with a purpose to systematically explore the landscape of vacua through numerical simulation, if their isn't strong statistical evidence?  If it is indeed the case that the fundamental equations of nature allow on the order of10⁵⁰⁰ solutions, then perhaps the most profound quest that can be undertaken by a sentient being is the exploration of the landscape through universe simulation (see simulationProof5.png in the image below).

6.)  Very basic extrapolation of current lattice QCD resource trends into the future suggest that experimental searches for evidence that our universe is, in fact, a simulation are both interesting and logical  (see simulationProof6.png in the image below).  Why would it be interesting and logical if there wasn't strong statistical evidence?

7.)  Using the historical development of lattice gauge theory technology as a guide, we assume that our universe is an early numerical simulation with unimproved Wilson fermion discretization and investigate potentially-observable consequences (see simulationProof7 in the image below).  Why would they assume our universe is an early numerical simulation using the historical development of lattice gauge theory technology as a guide,  if this isn't strong statistical evidence?

8.)  Rotational-symmetry breaking operator that is consistent with the lattice hyper-cubic symmetry (see simulationProof8.png in the image below)

There are more, but this is more than enough to answer your question once again.  The paper taken as a whole provides strong statistical evidence!
