UBCO study debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation

Sometimes just starting out small can help one to see a much larger picture of things.

Of course there is too much data to accurately simulate things on a cosmic scale, but on a city scale and a planetary scale, that's a different situation.

What if someone flips the switch, or pulls the plug on this world? Has it happened before?

"Beautiful World" is from Devo’s 1981 album New Traditionalists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-gbYjLd93g&list=RDE-gbYjLd93g&start_radio=1

How many times has this world been rebooted or reset?

https://answersingenesis.org/bible-questions/what-does-replenish-the-earth-mean 

https://www.bible.com/bible/compare/GEN.1.28 Perhaps it was deemed to be too unsettling that this world might be on some kind of a cosmic loop.

https://answersingenesis.org/bible-characters/noah/noah-after-the-flood-lessons-from-his-indiscretion/ 

https://arkencounter.com/flood/after So, whether one considers Pre-Adamite times, the flood was either the first or the second reset of this world.  


https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2021&version=NIV 

https://biblehub.com/revelation/21-1.htm Then, at this point in the story whether one considers Pre-Adamite times, a-new-earth would either be the second or 3rd reset of this world.  

https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/resources/heaven-and-the-new-earth-from-the-bible-and-c-s-lewis 

Two or 3 reboots or resets and that's just from the Bible. 

Various cultures imply that this world is in a cyclical pattern. How many times has this world been on a loop, 4 or 5...?

The Problem with a Humanoid Robot Puppet

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j31dmodZ-5c At this point its more like a puppet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepresence#Implementation_of_human_sensory_elements

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telerobotics#Interfaces In contrast AgI can start to run circles around people and even do backflips. 

A remotely controlled robot with human intelligence behind the scenes is still just a puppet. Such tech is actually great when a person needs to do a task from another location. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telerobotics#Telemedicine

In 2009 there was the movie Surrogates in which people lived a partially remotely-controlled life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogates#Plot Each of the main characters in the story had their own lifelike haptic puppet. You are back at home with something like a GoPro

https://www.tiktok.com/@nostalgiamountain/video/7247667085562662149?lang=en In this setup JD as Captain Jack_Sparrow never required haptic link, because its all just automatic puppetry.

Well, people back in the summer should have been fully informed to expect major job losses. So they might as well load up on beer, burgers and barbeques and collect FAT! 

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2025-07-03/next-round-ai-induced-layoffs-here 

Then, by the winter, they can live off some of their fat with much less income, or no income at all. Perhaps that beard they were growing during the summer can really help them with their impending homeless look in the winter. 

Unfortunately, AI will be used as an excuse to reduce even more human jobs over the years. Well, it's a good thing that AI can't be programmed to eventually eliminate most of humanity. Not!

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/aug/07/james-cameron-terminator-style-apocalypse-ai-weapons-hiroshima 

Of course once AI is used to kill some people, what is in place to eventually prevent it to want to kill everyone?

Is Tron: Ares a little like a Sims movie?

https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025/10/tron-ares-movie-review/684531 

This is a good article by David Sims. However, David-Sims seems to have skipped on something much deeper, like The Sims.



Ares was no longer just a ghost in the machine. He became an entity in the "real world." 

In the 1840s Charles_Dickens wanted to write an interdimensional story about a cantankerous old man interacting with various ghosts. A_Christmas_Carol deals the past, the present a possibly dark future resulting in a reconciliation of his perspective of life






The TRON intersection

https://tron.fandom.com/wiki/TRON 

From a digital ghost in the machine, to a digital entity in the material world. The 3rd TRON movie has some interesting aspects, despite not being a direct continuation from Legacy.

Alastair Sim and The Sims

Alastair_Sim is perhaps best known for playing a cantankerous old man being visited by ghosts. Some descriptions of ghosts seem to indicate that its like they are on some kind of a loop. They can fade in and out of this reality, or simply blink in or out.
