many of us have question in mind like is
our world is made of code or is matrix
is real or are we living in a computer
simulation watch this video to lend to
get answer of this question
[Music]
there is no matter as such all matter
originates and exists only by virtue of
a force which brings the particle of an
atom to vibration and hold this most
minut solar system of the atom together
we must assume behind this force the
existence of a conscious and intelligent
mind this mind is the matrix
[Music]
I know no one who has ever made this
claim before but I rather suspect that
my experience is not unique what perhaps
is unique is the fact that I'm willing
to talk about it we are living in a
computer programmed reality and the only
clue we have to it is when some variable
is changed and some alteration in our
reality occurs we would have the
overwhelming impression that we were
reliving the present deja vu perhaps in
precisely the same way hearing the same
words saying the same words I submit
that these impressions are valid and
significant and I will even say this as
such an impression is a clue but it's a
past time point our variable was changed
reprogrammed as it were and that because
of this an alternative world branched
off they laughed at that was back in
1977
this is now
you
meet professor James Gates he is the
scientific adviser to Obama physicist in
John s told professor University of MD
while working on superstring theory
professor gates discovered something
very interesting hidden within the
equations it's New York City
March 7 well partly it's taken to these
very strange images that are behind your
head right now these are pictures of
equations I've been for the last 15
years trying to answer the kinds of
questions that my colleagues if it have
been raising and what I've come to
understand is that there are these
incredible pictures that contain all the
information of a set of equations that
are related to string theory and it's
even more bizarre than that because when
you then try to understand these
pictures you find out that buried in
them are computer codes just like the
type that you find in the browser when
you go surf the web you say if your
attempt to understand the fundamental
operations of nature leads you to a set
of equations that are indistinguishable
from the equations that drive search
engines and browsers they are computers
that is correct so no way I'm still
quite I have to just be silent for a
minute here so you're saying as you dig
deeper you find computer code rich in
the fabric of the cosmos into the
equations that we want to use to
describe the cosmos yes computer code
computer codes strings of bits of ones
and zeros it's not just sort of
resembles computer code you're saying it
is computer code it's not even just is
computer code it's a special kind of
computer code that was invented by a
scientist named Claude Shannon in the
1940s that's what we find very very
deeply inside the equations that occur
in string theory and in general and
systems that we can say are super
symmetric
so what does this mean it is suggesting
that we are more than likely within the
confusing life

[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
when we talk about we are living in a
computer program reality and the only
tool we have is when some gold is
changed
consequence of
get common with the meat
this is the contract with our loading
program you can load anything from
clothing to equipment weapons
training simulator anything right now
we're inside a computer puka is it
really so hard to believe
truly I welcome
[Music]
you are used open mind
what is how do you define real if you're
talking about what you can see which is
in smell and taste the food and really
simply electrical signals interpreted by
the breath
Oh
[Applause]
come
[Music]
Oh
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
the mind is structured in layers just
like the universe is structured in
layers from superficial to profound and
if we use the mind in a very superficial
level of ordinary thought we have very
limited power we can barely move a speck
of dust across the tabletop without
using our hand so weak in consciousness
be but at the deepest level of
consciousness consciousness creates
universes there literally are a
different world in which we live the
macroscopic world that we see does the
world of our self the world of our atom
world of our nucleon either each totally
different world they have their own
language they have their own mathematic
but not get it small each is totally
different but they're complimentary
because I am Maya but I'm off to myself
almost my macroscopic physiology it's
all true they're just different levels
of truth the deepest level of truth
uncovered by science and by philosophy
is the fundamental truth of unity at
that deepest sub-nuclear level of our
reality you and I are literally one
[Music]
you
[Music]
[Applause]
it's the non-physical that's what he was
talking about now next came Nick Bostrom
and he had his PhD from this very
institution from the London School of
Economics he's now at Oxford he was at
Princeton I believe and these are
another physicist he's a physicist and a
philosopher has degrees in both he wrote
a paper are you living in a computer
simulation and he just went through it
logically and he found that it was
impossible to say that it was impossible
then he found out that it was unlikely
to say that it was unlikely that left
him with the conclusion that certainly
almost all of us are living in a
simulation he said it was very like I
mean on his mind the simulation is done
from some other physical thing that's
outside of what's physical so he
wouldn't say that it's non-physical but
that's that's where it lands it's beyond
it's some other physical place besides
ours that's our physicists a
non-physical without using that word so
that's that's what's his this is an
argument that tries to show that at
least one of three propositions is true
although it doesn't tell us which of
these three the three propositions in
questions is first that almost all
civilizations at our stage of
technological development go extinct
before they reach technological maturity
so that's the first possibility a second
possibility is that there is a very
strong convergence among all
technologically mature civilizations
in that they all lose interest in
creating ancestor simulations as I call
them this would be very detailed
computer simulations of people like
their historical forebears these are the
not that assimilated people in these
simulations would be conscious
so the second possibility is that they
just lose interest in doing this and the
third possibility is that we are almost
certainly living in a simulation so
there is this argument that shows that
one of these three is true and the full
argument involves some probability
theory but the basic idea can be grasped
quite simply which is that suppose it
were the case that the first possibility
did not obtain so then some non-trivial
projection of civilization sodaro stage
eventually reach technological maturity
then suppose the second possibility also
does not obtain so some non-negligible
traction of those mature civilizations
are is still interested in using the
resources to running ancestor
simulations you can then show that
because each matured civilization that
devoted some resources to this purpose
could run astronomical numbers of
ancestor simulations okay so that if the
first two possibilities do not obtain
then there will be many many more
simulated people like us then there will
be non simulated people like us in other
words almost all people with our kinds
of experiences would be living inside
simulations rather than outside them if
the first two possibilities are false
and the conditional on that we should
therefore think we are probably one of
the typical simulated people rather than
one of the exceptional non simulated
people so the structure of the argument
that is that if you reject the first two
hypotheses then the third one follows
which then means you can coherently
reject all three that that's the
structure of the simulation argument
there's a further possibility that if
you have a simulated civilization that
that simulated civilization might inside
the simulation develop the technologies
or on its own simulations and you might
then have a kind of nested simulation
with simulation inside the simulation
you might have many levels of simulation
but that's an optional extra doesn't the
basic simulation argument doesn't
propose it presuppose that it does that
if you extrapolate the kind of computing
power that an advanced civilization will
eventually have and you figured if they
would use some of
Ament computing power to running
simulations that could run an
astronomical number of zone so therefore
in that scenario most people with our
kinds of experiences would be among the
simulated people because we reach
original history that would then be
maybe millions or our buildings of
simulated histories the physical reality
is best modeled as a virtual digital
reality so it's modeled in my big toe
and consciousness is best modeled as a
digital information system we can do
physics first and then we'll do
metaphysics physics the main piece of
physics that is probing at the
fundamentals of reality right now is
quantum mechanics quantum mechanics
basically sees particles as probability
distributions it sees the fundamentals
of our existence as a probability
distribution you've probably heard of
the double slit experiment it's kind of
a famous thing in physics but some of
you probably not physicists an electron
is a tiny tiny bit of matter like a tiny
marble but fire a stream through one
slit it behaves just like the marble a
single band so if we shoot these tiny
bits through two slits we should get
like the marbles two bands
what an interference pattern we fired
electrons tiny bits of matter through
could we get a pattern like waves not
like little marbles how how could pieces
of matter create an interference pattern
like a wave it doesn't make sense but
physicists are clever they thought maybe
those little balls are bouncing off each
other and creating that pattern so they
decide to shoot electrons through one of
the time there is no way they could
interfere with each other but after an
hour of this the same interference
pattern is seen to emerge the conclusion
is inescapable the single electron
leaves as a particle becomes a wave of
potentials goes through both slits and
interferes with itself to hit the wall
like a particle but mathematically it's
even stranger
it goes through both slits and it goes
through neither and it goes through just
one and it goes through just the other
all of these possibilities are in
superposition with each other but
physicists were completely baffled by
this so they decided to peek and see
which slit it actually goes through
I put a measuring device by one slip see
which one it went through and let it fly
effective but the quantum world is far
more mysterious than they could have
imagined when they observed the electron
went back to behaving like a little
marble it produced a pattern of two vans
not an interference pattern of many the
very act of measuring or observing which
slit it went through meant it only went
through one not both the electron
decided to act differently so it was
aware it was being watched
and it is here that physicists stepped
forever into the strange never world of
quantum events what is matter bubbles or
waves and waves of what and what does an
observer have to do with any of these
the observer
collapsed the wave functions simply by
observing okay now there are many
interpretations of why it does this and
what it means a lot of physicists have
been trying to this this was started
back in late 20s and the 30s all of this
was was a big deal and physicists were
working very hard on this there's still
a big deal on working hard on it haven't
really made any progress since the 20s
and 30s made very little real progress
and all of the all of the theories of
what does it mean what is the saying
about reality none of them have made it
into the center of physics they're all
on the fringe I'll just talk about a
couple of them the one that's most
common is called the Copenhagen
interpretation basically what it says
that if you have a probability of being
in n states when you measure it you just
get a random value one of those states
randomly you get that you measure that
value okay then there's one says
consciousness causes collapse and that
comes
the idea that you have to be aware you
have to measure it some consciousness
has to take a measurement and that that
causes it's a collapse to the measured
value and when I say collapse it's a
wavefunction they talk about wave
functions but it's really probability
wave is what we're talking about because
it's collapsed to a certain value
another one is called consistent
histories and that says well it's not
random state that it collapses to it's a
state based on what happened before what
its history was and then there's one of
many worlds and I have to mention that
David du chat Axford is one of your
countrymen he's one of the foremost
researchers in the many-worlds area
actually he's published some some very
good work just recently on this made
some progress the mini world says that
all right you have n states that it
could be and that means it's probability
function in quantum mechanics you don't
necessarily have a smeared continuous
probability there's probability only
certain states can can exist so if
there's n states he says all n of them
happen everything can happen does happen
except the one that happens in this
reality you know is where we live the
ones that happen in other parallel
realities you know we don't know about
but there is a separate physical
parallel reality for every state of
course there's billions of states every
electron has multiple states there are a
lot electrons so you know there's a
problem there's a problem here as well
the problem of course that they had with
the with the Copenhagen one is that if
they're if it's just a random choice
then that creates two problems one all
of this reality that we see before us is
based upon random choices that does not
compute also that means that if you do
the same experiment twice you won't get
the same answer
now physicists don't like that either so
both of those were problems that's what
I say none of these theories are problem
free ok there was another one called
many Minds it was sort of a combination
of consciousness causes collapse in many
worlds and basically it said that the
many-worlds weren't physical but they
were mental
and they fill it with their subconscious
how do we ever acquire enough detail to
make them think that it's reality dreams
they feel real while we're in them right
it's only when we wake up that we
realize something was actually strange
let me ask you a question you never
really remember the beginning of the
dream do you always wind up right in the
middle of what's going on I guess yeah
so how did we end up here when we just
came from there
think about it Ariadne how did you get
here where are you right now
first lesson in sharing all right now
there's other big pictures besides that
one edward fredkin created digital
physics in 1992 when he published two
papers first one was finite nature
the second was a new cosmo genie and
edward fredkin is really pretty
high-powered physicist he was a
physicist at MIT then went to Boston
University now is in Carnegie Mellon
he's kind of specialized in the digital
side of information theory and physics
and his conclusions were that reality is
a computed simulation that we are in a
computed simulation and he presented
this paper at a scientific forum and was
not received for a while he probably
didn't get a long applause it kind of
startled a lot of people but he was a
very brave man for doing that but he had
solid physics to back it up that's why
he stood up and did it essentially he
says I realities digital times digital
spaces digital essentially it's
informational so is our reality is just
information okay he also said that
because a system cannot compute itself
it must be computed in his words other
it was computed in other he didn't want
to go there where it was computed he
knew it couldn't be computed in this
reality frame ok so he says it came from
a reality frame that's outside of our
physical reality well now how do we
define non physical reality non physical
reality is basically other is it not we
have a physical matter reality that's
our universe that's us there's
everything in universe and then there's
everything else and that's non physical
reality so everything is not physical in
that concepts non physical so if this is
in other then with that definition he's
basically saying that it's computed
in a non-physical even if you say some
other physical reality that isn't
physical that's cheating
it's the non-physical

and in 1945 while they were digging for
some clay and that sort of thing some
Egyptian peasant found a 13 large books
remember the word codex or codices I
talked about in the one of the early
lectures means the kind of book that has
the pate has pages and not all sewn up
on one side to distinguish it from a
book that's in a scroll form so this by
this time he found these books they had
been buried there
probably sometime in the fourth century
so in the 300s and they'd probably been
hidden there because that's about the
time that certain forms of Christianity
were being outlawed and declared
heretical there are 13 of these big
books and right is right along the Nile
River and we call these the naga hamadi
library or the NAG Hammadi corpus
I want to
