Hello, I’m starting Simulation Ministries
The simulation hypothesis made me wonder about the life review. What if it generates indicators like GDH (Gross Domestic Happiness)? It would be worth running a simulation to compare societies from a GDH standpoint
We attempt to measure GDH today: The World Happiness Report and Global Flourishing Study (GFS). The GFS is new and generates a lot of data used by Harvard, Baylor and other organizations to study happiness
Is it a simulation?
Nobody knows, but I give it >0 probability. Odd things happen at the edge of physics. It looks like advanced image rendering.
Weird Science
At the edge of physics, things are mathematical rather than physical. The physical things don’t exist yet, it’s a probability distribution of possible things
Light particles are created by ... observation
Light gains mass and becomes a particle when observed
In the Double-slit experiment – Wikipedia we learn light particles are created after observation
Observation is a variable in physics experiments. Think about that
Before observation, light is not a particle
Before observation, light does not have mass. It acts like a wave
A physicist named Niels Bohr – Wikipedia noted a “wave” is just a probability distribution. It’s just math until observed
Entangled particles
Entangled particles are very interesting
If you do something to one, the other one changes to match it’s twin Quantum entanglement – Wikipedia
Scientists set up a very interesting dual slit experiment with entangled particles. Observe one twin as a wave, wait a little bit, then observe the second twin as a particle. What happens?
Well, the first twin changes to a particle, as entangled particles must match
Here is a YouTube about the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser experiment
Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser experiment
As the first twin always matches the second, did the first twin predict a future random event or was the past changed? It’s one or the other
We don’t know yet, but scientists are working on extremely high-speed photography. If we can take a picture of the first event before the second occurs, then we will know if the past was updated or the future predicted
Currently, physicists talk about “backloading” the past. The quantum “eraser”. It’s a little easier to believe the past was changed. Think about that
Here is the Wikipedia: Delayed-choice quantum eraser – Wikipedia
What is the probability it is a simulation?
Thoughts from Elon Musk about simulation probability
This video is from 2016, about ten years ago. Pretty good argument that it’s at least >0. Maybe even highly probable
Summary
There appears to be a >0 chance it is a simulation
If it is, our life review might be important. The life review seems very programmatic. Many religions lead to a positive life review List of religious populations – Wikipedia
Religions are very well organized, so this is a great way to pursue a positive life review. If you are not religious, any activity that creates positive emotion or reduces negative emotion will improve it too. That’s what people who have experienced a life review seem to do, so just copy them. They have the best information
