We don't live in an infinitely complex universe as far as we can see. We live on earth almost exclusively and spinning up a solar system is something we can already do.

Given the universe is pretty big and simulations can be simplified (see Heisenberg uncertainty principle etc) it's reasonable that you could spin up a ton of concurrent simulations with only a small step up in needed power usage.

You're also making assumptions about power creation and its finite bounds.

Not your responsibility if a sentient race goes and annihilates itself. In fact it could be considered abhorrent to interfere with it's natural development and free will.

Hah what if a simulation this complex was spun up and down just to generate a selection of art for your wall? Or some new plays, or TV shows? Or just to see if they can figure out a complex math problem? There's soooo many applications.

OK counter point here.

As computing power increases the number and complexity of simulations increases. Given that, the chances of us being in the 'real' universe scales with the exponential growth of simulations....basically the chances of this being real is about infinity to 1.

Not sure I agree with you on it being unethical.

If you could spin up a planet and have it speed through its entire life (till solar expansion say) then any life on the planet would have lived full, unimpeded lives and I can't see any argument for that being unethical.

Needs diagrams. This looks kinda close. Works with sound, light, any waves. Basically you can get points where the waves are twice as loud and points where there is nothing

No worries. Honestly a really cool part of physics - worth looking into.

That and being able to project darkness via light 'wave' node points always blew my mind. Similar set up too.

Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Basically 'stuff' isn't actually there till you look.

Perhaps some kind of black full body sheet for women would help? You could cut a tiny hole so they can look out like a pillbox. Much easier than men showing a little self control.

Republicans really don't understand how much in common they have with certain people they hate.

I've got this idea. Maybe all the homeless people should be rounded up and sent to an island somewhere.

We will call that place...Ustralia.

Pure evil is starting a war to kill your own people, children included.

The Palestinians are not as blind as you propagandists.

Lol normally a population has to have a net decline for there to be genocide.

Sounds like you're just parroting the usual islamist propaganda points.

Ah well...hamas should just never stop then? No matter how many Palestinians die?

I'm aware there's a long history of bad blood going back to Muhammad wiping out that Jewish tribe but this specific war started on Oct 7.

Sticking your head in the sand to pretend that hamas didn't start the war, and won't do anything to end it, or even lower Palestinian casualties is wild.

The Palestinians aren't as stupid as you seem to think - they'll know who to blame.

Palestinians should be angry at hamas. They started a war they had no intention of winning. The Palestinians are just convenient propaganda tools for them. The more die, the happier hamas will be.

Hamas could move this war out of populated areas or just release the hostages and surrender and the war would end.

Fascists unite!

Just don't drink the tea....

Kanye has entered the chat.

Ccp censorship in Europe. Shameful.

Good the authors have morals at least.

Just current BBC live action casting policy believe it or not.

Hope it wasn't an acorn!

The acorn had a peanut!
