New research into machine algorithms supports the hypothesis that our reality may be a computer simulation.
We live in a simulation. The evidence is everywhere. All you have to do is look.
A newly developed algorithm can predict planetary orbits without needing to be taught Newton's laws, according to a recent paper by Princeton University physicist Hong Qin. Qin's research shows how the technology of a simulated universe could work in practice, experts say.
“For example, if an AI algorithm can predict the motion of planets using discrete field theory, it suggests that the universe itself may at some level be made of discrete elements. Or, more accurately, that the universe is pixelated,” computer scientist Rizwan Virk, the author of “The Simulation Hypothesis” who was not involved in the study, said in an email interview.
Qin created a computer program into which he entered data from previous observations of the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and the dwarf planet Ceres.
