Our Simulated Universe

An initial consultation: I need to say this from the get-go, that there is no connection, in this paper, assuming a simulation scenario that includes, among a supernatural omniscient, omnipotent creator of God and what I see as tainted meat creator and bones person (or ET) was really in charge. This' God is Supreme Simulator (with a capital G), any more than the creator of a video game is a God (with a capital G). This has absolutely nothing to do with a religion based supernatural, everything to do with the natural order of things and evolving technology. This is the science (or technology), not superstition or mythology.Unlike God, for those who believe in a loving God, the Supreme simulator can not give a stuff about you and your destiny more real than the creator of a matter if the video game characters that creating live happily ever after or not - probably not. I mean, if billions and billions of human beings simulated generations and generations of them, and assuming that you are not omniscient and omnipotent, could keep track of all Now it is perfectly entitled to reject the truism of this simulation? hypotheses. I really can not believe it myself. But of course what you believe or not is ultimately irrelevant - it's all a function of what is or is not. While the simulation scenario is quite simple, being able to prove, or disprove, is the real intellectual challenge. This is the problem I'm trying to think. And unfortunately, while I would like to claim this as mine, the idea is not original with me - intellects far greater than what I thought about this and there is a solid level of literature in academic journals and websites on the Possibility . Terrestrial Simulation Examples of current or Near Future: * The practical simulation scenarios prove useful in addressing the daily problems of traffic management and, of course, the military use them for war gaming purposes. The engineers use them to understand things like this plane will fly if we build it that way? We can build a bridge in this way to use these materials and the search for such a length? It 's much cheaper to simulate the first - build later - with the certainty that what we build will work. . Available on the market are all kinds of brands of cars in the form of simulations navigation virtual map that you can drive from point A to point B without or with the foot * Training: airline pilots, air traffic controllers, astronauts, doctors can practice on simulators before acquiring competence. Simulation could be useful in driver training, before actually going on the road * Scientific. Many scientists use simulations to examine 'what if'. Program of these sets of initial conditions, add these relations, managed for a period of time and see what happens * Training:. You can explore the planets of the solar system, interstellar and intergalactic realms of space, the depths of our earth's oceans, and other realms where it is also very practical and realistic to send someone in person. . The data acquired by robotic probes can be translated into simulations that we can all enjoy * Entertainment: video games! Apart from this, you can now create entire feature film (note: not cartoon or animation), in which all the characters and environments are all 100% simulated. No shooting, no actors are required to apply for shares. There is also tourism, without all that mess with airlines and hotels and taxis and luggage and weather. There are all kinds of packages virtual tourist guide where you can 'visit' city and all its attractions (traps) * Role Playing. It 'hard to put yourself in a video game, but eventually the technology could be available to do just that. The best example is the futuristic holodeck that the characteristics of that in Star Trek incarnations.There 's an important aspect of your life that is already virtual or simulated - at least in theory if not in practice. That is, your personal finances. I mean, we heard about the so-called paperless office (which never came true - yet). Now we have simulated the wallet and purse. I mean, your pay or pension is deposited electronically into your account at the financial institution. You can arrange to have your bills paid automatically from this standard account, or you can go online and pay the bills yourself - electronically. You can shop online or at brick and mortar stores without having to carry cash - just use your credit card or debit card. You can pay by credit card online bill, or your financial institution without money actually changing hands. You can also use your credit card now to get a drink from the vending machine! At regular intervals, your financial institution will send you a piece of paper, or you can see on-line, that tells you what your accounts are worth. In short, you can now go through the entire financing day-to-day existence, within the totality of your financial world, without having to see or handle real money. The money is all virtual money, all financial transactions are simulations of what was transactions.So cash, we see that there is nothing unusual with the idea of ​​simulation. Incidentally, it should be noted that just 100 years ago, as the research activities of the imagination would postulate simulations were authors of both fiction and individuals more or less handed over to some nice young men in their clean white coats, come and take me away , ha-ha, he, he, to set the asylum '! Given the exponential growth in computing power crunch, what might be like 100 years from now compared to simulations of reality? Science fiction writers are still quite safe in gloss, others may well be waiting for visits from these 'fine young men in their clean white coats! Too often, however, guesstimates Futurology ended up on the wrong side of too much caution. Which is a kind of expected 100 years and then often proves to be actually an arc of a much shorter time. This may be closer than we think holodeck! Now, what kind of simulation could be a possible extraterrestrial civilization a thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand years of technological advancement of our? A simulation of our universe (or at least Earth) for them might be as sophisticated as Pac-Man is to us.The Supreme Simulator: Given the purpose behind the previous examples of simulations, what is the purpose behind a simulator, we simulate the Supreme ? Suppose that we are not someone's toy - has created for fun, says should let our simulator Supreme is a scientist and we are part of their 'what if' experiments. What could be simulated and in what detail? * The universe and everything in it to match the level of detail. * The Milky Way Galaxy and everything in it equal to the degree of detail, and all that is in addition to a much lesser extent, of detail. * Our solar system and everything it contains the same degree of detail, and all that is in addition to a much lesser degree of detail. * Planet Earth and everything in it equal to the degree of detail, and all that is in addition to a much lesser degree of detail. * Your environment and everything in it equal to the degree of detail, and all that is in addition to a much lesser degree of detail. * Your mind and all it contains an amount equal to the detail, and all that is in addition to a much lesser extent in every detail except the search time as you interact with something outside of detail sphere.The more Your mind has to understand the simulation, the greater the complexity, the crisis more power is needed to run it. It 'obvious reason to minimize unnecessary detail, while having the ability to add a layer of detail, as required. Some examples: Before the invention of the telescope, all you need to simulate Mars was a red dot moving in the sky. Post spacecraft telescope, but pre, detail a bit 'more in the image department was necessary. Once the Mariner flybys and orbiters and landing craft as a Viking, Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity and Phoenix, and a host of others did their thing to start, a lot more detail that needed to be simulated, but course only in those areas where probes traveled and associated cameras to.You stressed that there are billions of other people on the planet Earth simulated simulated and millions of miles of simulated real estate (and tourist traps) and a host of animate and inanimate simulated objects other forms of life / living estate. However, you have no more than a vague understanding of the core - the fine print you do not know - the details are far-reaching extremes. However, if you actually go and visit some of these simulated square kilometers of properties and interacts with the natives - animal, mineral or vegetable - then the Supreme simulator must be able to ramp up the details, and then jumps fine print However, the simulator in your focus.Maybe Supreme has unlimited capacity for simulation and all that exists is the highest level of detail required, and just because you are ignorant of the detailed landscape of Mars, or have not seen every brick of the Great Wall of China that does not mean that landscape, and those bricks, there are (in the absence of your presence) in less detail the landscape of the courtyard and the bricks that make up the home.In any case, assuming that the simulator is not omnipotent and omniscient Supreme and Almighty then mistakes will be made. The software will not require changes to eliminate inconsistencies Minimize, if, paradox, contradiction, and all those ugly square pegs in round holes.OOPS: tweaking, miracles, updates and patches: I know you want to play God and creating a universe, it is not a real one, of course, but a simulated, on the supercomputer (which presumably has a greater ability of your brain wetware which could then create one). So, (the Supreme simulator) start to write the initial 'in principle' set (s) of the software in order to create a Big Bang and dictate the parameters that control the subsequent evolution of your universe. Of course, not being a true God, it's hard to think of everything and the first 'A' not everything can mesh well with 'B' part, and when you get to 'Z' part, everything is measured in absolute. Then, you start rewriting and revising and editing software patching things here so that you end up there, along the track, with a cosmos that is a uniform and consistent whole.Oops # 1 - Part 'A' has created matter, the 'B' is dictated and created an equal amount of antimatter, to 'C' shares through 'Z' rather irrelevant because the cosmos is now pretty boring - just a universe of pure energy! Therefore, change # 1 is to create part 'B', but under the surface to the value set at extremely low number. You now have a matter dominated universe.Oops # 2 - 'C' Part of creating the seriousness with your sun bed to keep your world more orderly and behaves in a funny way watch. Oops, the universe contracts now quickly and undergoes a Big Crunch - the end of evolution; end of the simulation. Tweak # 2: Create some form of antigravity, the dark energy of preventDefault Big Crunch, which while allowing gravity to maintain the desired clock predictability.Oops # 3 - After having edited the macro (your subject has evolved by gravity into planets and stars and galaxies and associated debris) in Part 'D', now brush up on the software, all the bits and pieces needed for the control of the microscope - Part 'E'. Oops, it turns out that is not compatible with the software macro. Well, that apparently has no real impact on other parts of your cosmic creation, and since you're ultra-busy with other problems and issues in 1001, do not bother to change this. We ignore this - no one will be any the wiser! (Ooops, you're not planning any developments cosmologists and quantum physicists!) OOPS: Why are miracles a tweak? A miracle is something unexplained and inexplicable. It 'a direct violation of known laws of science. In my opinion, a miracle is something that corrects an error, an error that should never have happened in the first place if the simulator had been on the ball Supreme. For example, say you need to have a limb amputee, only later grow back! It 's a miracle that fixes that presumably had not counted on the Supreme simulator or programmed or desired. Then, count the number of miraculous events that were reported during the eras of recorded human history - that is a lot of tweaks Alleged Why do not I know? If you and everything around you (out to the ends of the universe) are only a simulation (both created in the mind as software or wetware in a car - the Supreme Simulator supercomputer), it is not known. You'd be programmed not to know or at least plain ignorant in the same way that the character in your dream in the unconscious is a mental creation - the product of the characters in your mind Ditto the game - do not know who they are. an artificial creation, a form of artificial life Since you're a simulated person, you're not in control since they are pre-programmed and should just go with the flow predetermined - the puppet Supreme simulator. You can check more than one activity calculator can help calculate the cube root of 27 is 3 Ditto the entities in your dreams is what drives the mind to do, even if they are not aware when your mind is a puppet master. Your dream character (s) has / have no free will in other words.Never-the-less there may be ways to come to terms with the reasonableness or otherwise of the baseline scenario that is simulated and a simulator is Supreme control. The suggestion comes from above - the need for the boss to change their simulation creating eliminating inconsistencies or paradoxes, which is the same as saying there is no evidence that the Supreme simulator is not able to change. The fact that the changes in our natural environment is suggestive that we really needed in a simulation, or parts of the universe (assuming it is real) have no real sense. O Mother Nature screwed, or simulator did.Example Supreme: crop circles there. No explanation for their existence has a total sense. They are obviously made by intelligence, but Mother Nature is not the culprit in this case (even if Mother Nature is responsible for some geometric shapes like spirals of some shells, flowers, snowflakes, etc.. No force can explain the known natural crop circles. Human intelligence is the most likely explanation, but the problems remain, such as making complex models in the dark of night and why are not those responsible were caught and treated? I could list other problems as the reason why the 'England and not in Australia? Surely Australia has its share of pranksters. E' responsible for extraterrestrial intelligence, perhaps? But what is their possible reason is that I'll be damned if something comes to the fore rationally. So, I think a tweak is in order here for this confusion has been going up Longas also a general rule of thumb, as if the science says it is almost impossible, but for which there is a degree of credible eyewitness testimony to the contrary, could be a candidate as a quirk of our simulator courteous Supreme! Collectively, these topics fall under a general umbrella called 'anomalies' and we read that entire books are full of case histories. For example, attention is paid to the many volumes collected by William R. Corliss anomalies culled from the scientific literature in its series Sourcebook Project. Then there are those wonderful collections of books written by Charles Fort.So anomaly because these anomalies are allowed to continue, why not the Supreme simulator optimized these? My guess which is probably his best, because you have set in motion the simulation program, and none of the quirks are serious enough to cause the programmable simulator to crash, it's easier just to let everything run its course and not 'end of program 'for the good of the relation but not serious, dangerous for the Universe, repairs. Minor corrections, such as "miraculous" tweaks can be fixed in the race without stopping the simulation, as well as some updates to the software on your computer can take place while you work , while others have no effect unless you stop and start again. If you can not soldier and stop the operation and live without the update (s), which means our simulator okay.So Supreme, The Boss , is at least 7.13 billion years since the program running our (presumably) simulated Universe is 13.7 billion years because it was 13.7 billion years after the Big Bang? Not really, since there should be no relationship between time as experienced by the Supreme simulator and our perception of time, just like you can watch a two hour movie, but what about the characters in the film are concerned, maybe two days, two weeks, two months, two years or two decades have passed. Well, maybe one second that passes to The Boss is the equivalent of a decade, through the planks us.and just like watching a movie, you can speed up the film, or slow down - still image, even if you're so inclined. Now, if our Supreme Simulator has decided to speed up, slow down and even freeze (stop) action, we would not have noticed because everyone around us would be accelerated or slowed, or stopped by the same amount (which has some obvious similarities with general relativity). What is the best evidence? if the Universe and everything in it, their relationships, physics (principles, laws, etc.) that have been or created by Mother Nature (ie - of course) or by an omniscient, omnipotent, creator God (ie - supernaturally), so presumably the physics everything fit / lock and be understood, understood, without paradoxes, contradictions, anomalies, etc. translated, a universe, a set of hardware, contains only a unified set of physical, a series of software. Now the computer hardware runs on not one but several sets of software - different functions, different sets software. So is the universe like the way the world should be, or is more similar to computer programs? Unfortunately, the universe is like your computer. The physical universe contains two programs, two series software. not knitted / interlock, they can not be unified, they are not compatible. Its relativity (macro) software, quantum mechanics (micro) and never the twain shall meet software. They are like your basic square peg in a round hole. This is an imperfect creation - is an 'Oops # 3' (see above) - the work of a creator, as imperfect, flesh and bones of the child. The organization that produces video game programs - as an anomaly Supreme Simulator.Apart observed from the above, our simulated universe theory is potentially testable. Although I can think of a way to show that there are to be simulated, we can find evidence that we live in a simulated universe, and therefore that we are also simulated beings. No software is perfect. Computer software - from our experience - is always being upgraded / updated. Applies if the same elsewhere, maybe we could see if we are a product of such software. So if there are software updates, may be detectable as anomalous phenomena in one context or another. like saying that one of the physical constants have been modified and altered ever so slightly (and there is some evidence for this - the fine structure constant, for example, has apparently changed for astronomical periods of time). If they are not physical constants - that is constant - but variable, then we got trouble with a capital of T.One, no, in fact the most basic foundation of all cosmology is that the physical universe are the same everywhere. If this is not the case, and apparently is not as there is evidence that the fine structure constant has the same value in seeing all parts of the cosmos, then cosmologists are forced to return to starting point. Nothing in terms of what the universe is and what can now be taken over as ruler gospel.Can really imagine is a supernatural God or Mother Nature's natural creation of a cosmos in which the physical contained therein are not uniform? If the answer is 'no', then you are almost forced to accept a third alternative - the universe as we know it is a powerful simulation of a nearly all flesh and blood (Supreme simulator). Since the value of the fine structure constant is critical in terms of the Universe to be bio-friendly, if not constant, then the parties are bio-hostile universe. Our Supreme Sun Simulator is apparently happy to create a pocket of detailed Software for bio-friendly universe within a much larger software UN-friendly cosmos. That makes sense to create a small pocket of the simulation to be bio-friendly and only the rest of the bio-hostile universe simulated with software less sophisticated as a sort of background to the crowds part.The bio-compatible to You: If we exist through a simulation, of course, could not exist to turn over a copy of this simulation, lots and lots and lots of copies . If so, is there more than one copy of you. It is a sort of parallel universe setting. The saving grace is that it is not ever meet! Yourself What are the odds are simulated an Entity? I think it's fair to say that according to the level of sophistication of my simulation scenario, you and I are not part of a dream, or someone else's imagination, nor a land package of computer software. So, no Supreme Earth Simulator created us. The possible exception to this observation is the assumption that the simulation we create is the product of the century, Earth's 20 or 21. Of course it is possible that our Earth Simulator is in 30 or 31 century. The time period should reflect the simulator does not same period of time as that of the simulator. Apart from this, however, and assuming a non-terrestrial origin, leaving the rest of the universe and extraterrestrial (s) Supreme simulator (s). The apparent bottom line, using supposed reality Planet Earth as a guide, is that all real world and can create real inhabitants, the wetware and software combined, more, more, almost infinitely more, and the inhabitants of the worlds simulated with different degrees of complexity and duration . many dreams (or active mentally imagined scenarios) have scored a total of humanity? How many games have been, are now, and wants to be on the market? course is more than one. Well, a real world and only one real entity can in Ultimately, creating hundreds of dogs (perhaps thousands) of more simulated worlds and hundreds (perhaps thousands of dogs) of simulated entities. If this logic applies to reality presumed planet Earth and its real simulation (wetware and software) packages , what of those dwellings and advanced extraterrestrial civilizations? If there are hundreds of dogs, thousands, perhaps millions of aliens, advanced technological civilizations out there and create hundreds of dogs each, thousands, perhaps millions of simulated worlds and beings, well, such as chances are one of the worlds rare compared to the huge number of real ones simulated? Objection! We exist in a 3-D environment. Surely simulations, even dreams, are 2-D. Therefore, we are not in a simulator! Unfortunately for this argument, 2-D technology is now old man. Well, now there is a plethora of 3-D film, 3-D TV is the last thing. Can the 3-D Internet is far behind? Definitely 3-D video games, etc. will soon be available. course the holodeck in Star Trek 3-D, but this is the future of technology as well, but who knows how quickly technology advances in the future will be. I'm sure the holodeck technology, or some reasonable variation it wants to be an integral part of our future, entertainment, as well as being useful in education and other RPGs scenarios.Apart, I'm sure that the characters on the computer or video games, the subjects in your dreams, would, if not you could say that actually surf through a 3-D environment - as seen through their senses. But wait a minute, is something that applies to us. You navigate in a 3-D world, but the real environment images, or the Your perception of reality than the apparent 3-D 3-D, is completely within your mind and in the biochemistry of the brain. Inside your brain, that the projection of reality is actually 2-D, l ' interpretation by you is still 3-D, in much the same way, perhaps the image hologram on your credit card is 2-D, but 3-D appears. So, does it really make the game different from the counterparts of the video or dream? They say there are 3-D, are said to be 2-D. You say that there is in 3-D, but ... What If I Knew This? And if knew me and everything around me, but it was a simulation and I did not have free will? Well there is not a hell of a lot I or you can do! At best, all we can wish for is that the Supreme simulator software or wetware that is responsible contains no nasty surprises, or the supreme dream simulator does not have an alarm set to ring or the temptation to press the delete key button.Free Will: If you have written (programmed) themselves in a game, even if in a dream like a star separate complex character, you're dancing to the rhythm of the software or your drummer drumming min 'you' in your creation, in your dream, no free will! If you're dancing to someone else is tuned through their dreams or wetware programming software have no free will. I'm sorry 'bout that Ultimate Origins: Although the simulation of our universe / world / us is a precise scenario, that does not explain the origin of the simulator (s) or their world and the' universe - which may, or may not mirror this (our) simulated one. Of Ultimate Origins get even more if the Supreme simulator (s) are in turn to simulations even further away from reality. One could argue that if we are a simulation within a simulation within a simulation, etc., and we in turn are the simulation, then the ultimate cause is the first one with the supposedly free - the first Supreme (meat and blood) simulator starts things off and everything else that follows is just the programming coming from him / her / it. knowledge to seek ultimate origins may be forever beyond our reach.Wetware Versus Software: For all their sophistication - present in every case - no one has real difficulty in recognizing virtual reality software in the form of a training exercise, a video game, or even a feature film 'shot' with no real actors and real-life background. However, the evolution of the media seeking Realism is improving by leaps and bounds. Yet, the computer software is not yet behind examined simulated generations in the same ballpark, or even the same league compared to the wetware. Your dreams, nightmares, hallucinations, fantasies, etc., are very realistic indeed . simulated What If We Are Not? Well then its business as usual, but still leaves scientists with a lot of hard work to do to explain the normal everyday life, the universe and everything, with all its myriad of strange animals The Return of the Gods: Once upon a time there were many gods (Thor, Odin, Zeus, Apollo, Ares, etc.) and polytheism ruled the roost and the affairs of mortals. Unfortunately they were overthrown and Monotheism became the flavor of the month. It 'a shame, as the ancient gods had more appeal - were flawed and Malthus more interesting because they were more' human. 'Well, the gods are back in their new form of Supreme simulator, the writers and creators of video games software, the characters and their associated environments.You too could be a Supreme simulator and create their own video game. Why not? Others have done. not in writing software and creating new brave new worlds and life forms? Well, despite that you can be (and were), a simulator Supreme - sleep, perchance to dream, and a letter and at least create your rest on your virtual realities.I my case! [EXTRACT] An initial consultation: I need from the get-go he said no connection, which is postulated in this paper, a simulation scenario that we have heard from some supernatural omniscient, omnipotent creator God and what I consider the wrong person of the Creator in the flesh (or alien) is actually responsible. This "Supreme simulator 'is not a god (with a capital G), as soon as the creator of a video game, a god (with a capital G). This has absolutely nothing to do with a supernatural basis of religion, all natural with. order and the development of technological things to do, this is the science (or technology), not superstition or mythology.Unlike God, that those who believe in a loving God, the Supreme simulator can not get a couple of real things about yourself and your destiny is the creator of a cure if the video game characters to life in this creation for ever happy or No - probably not my ego, if we simulate billions and billions of people, generations and generations of them, and that you are not omniscient and omnipotent. it, you could keep track Now is certainly entitled to the truism that refusal simulation? hypotheses . I really can not believe it myself. But, of course, is what I believe or not is ultimately irrelevant -. it's all a function of what is or less during the simulation scenario is simple enough to demonstrate the ability, or disprove the real intellectual challenge that is the problem I'm trying to think .. And unfortunately, as I like to call it like mine, the idea is not original with me - thought I was much higher than intellect , and there is a massive amount of literature available in scientific journals and web sites on possibility.Terrestrial examples of simulations in progress or planned:. * The practical test simulation scenarios to be useful in dealing with the daily problems of managing transport and, of course, the military use them for purposes of war game, the engineers use them to understand things like this plane will fly, if there? construction time so that we can build a bridge in this way, many of these materials by so and so, it is much cheaper to simulate earlier - building behind - with the knowledge that what you will work to build on the market. are all kinds of brands in the simulation of automotive navigation in the form virtual map, which can run from point A to point B, without disorder or confusion * Training Point: .. pilots, air traffic controllers, astronauts, doctors can practice skills on simulators for early simulations could be useful in driver training before they actually go on the road * science. Many scientists use simulations to investigate 'what if'. Program, this set of initial conditions, add these relationships go through a period of time and see what happens * Training:. You can explore the planets of solar system, interstellar and intergalactic space share, in the depths of our oceans, land and other areas where it is not very practical and realistic to send to someone in person. data from robotic probes can be purchased translated into simulations you can enjoy all the * entertainment. Games! Apart from this, you can now play all the movies (note: not cartoon or animation) to create environments in which all signs and all are 100% simulated. No shots place, the actors do not have to apply for shares. There is also the tourism industry, without messing with all the airlines and hotels and taxis and the inclement weather and baggage. There are all kinds of packages guide virtual, where you can "visit" the city and all its attractions (traps) * Role-playing. 's hard to put in a video game, but eventually the technology could be available to do just that. The best example is the futuristic holodeck, which works in this incarnations.There Star Trek 's an important aspect of your life that is already virtual or simulated - at least in theory if not in practice. This means that your personal finances. I mean, we have the so-called paperless office (which it never really happened - yet) heard. Now we have simulated the wallet and purse. I mean, your payroll or pension electronically deposited into your account at your bank. You can have have paid your bills automatically default to this account, or you can go online and pay the bills yourself - electronically. You can make purchases online or at brick and mortar stores without cash with you - simply use your credit card or debt. You can use your credit card statement online, or at your bank without money actually changing hands to pay. You can also use your credit card now to get a soft drink vending machines! At regular intervals, the Your financial institution will send you a piece of paper or watch online, tell you what they are worth your accounts. In short, you can now go through the whole day financial existence day to see inside the entire financial world without actually having to manage or real money. The money is all virtual money, financial transactions, all simulations of what look to withdraw cash transactions.So we have that there is nothing unusual with the idea of ​​simulation. In addition, it should be noted that no more than 100 years ago, as he fancies activities such as simulations, or should have been the writers of fiction or individuals sent to postulate more or less the "beautiful young men in their clean white hands who come to take me away , ha-ha, he, he, in the amusing "set Farm! Given the exponential growth in computing power crunch, which may be 100 years, in terms of simulations of reality? Science fiction writers are still speculating pretty sure that the Others can still wait for the visitors coming from this "nice young men in their clean white coats!" Too often, however, guesstimates of future research ended up err on the safe side too. What type of wait-turns 100 years so often as a reality to be in a much shorter period. The holodeck, perhaps closer than we think! Well, what kind of simulation could be possible from an extraterrestrial civilization a thousand or ten thousand, 100 thousand years in technological advances from us? A simulation of ' universe (or at least Earth), could be as challenging as Pac-Man is to us.The Supreme Simulator: Given the previous examples of the purpose behind the simulations, what is the purpose behind a Supreme simulator simulates us? Suppose that we are not toy for someone -. Created for fun, but let's say our simulator Supreme is a scientist, and we are part of their 'what-if "experiment What could be simulated in detail what * the universe? and everything in it content at the same level of detail. * The Milky Way and all it contains an equal degree of detail, and everything is in addition to a very minor degree of detail. * Our solar system and everything in it by the amount of detail, and everything about it is sent to a much lesser degree of detail. * Planet Earth and everything in it, to an equal level of detail and everything is in addition to a much lesser degree of detail. * Your Environment surrounding and all that it contains an equal degree of detail, and everything is in addition to a much lesser degree of detail. * your mind, and all the same degree of detail, and all this in addition to a much lesser extent than any other detail time is how to interact with something outside of the simulation of your mind sphere.The must include detailed, the greater the complexity, the greater the power needed crunch to run it. A distinction is to minimize unnecessary details, while the flexibility to add layers of detail you need some examples: .. before the invention of the telescope, all you need for a moving simulated Mars red sky the telescope contribution, but space probes, it was a bit 'in more detail ward image. When the Mariner probes in orbit and wanted to start flyby and landing craft as a Viking, Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity and Phoenix, and a myriad of other things to them, a large detail was required to be simulated, but of course only in those areas where the probes have traveled and the associated cameras to.You stressed that there are billions of other people will be simulated and simulated on the planet millions of miles of simulated real estate (and tourist traps) and millions of other items simulated forms of animate and inanimate life / occupy that property, but do not need more than a vague understanding of the subtleties -. the fine print you do not know - the details are a broad brush over the top but if properly simulated. and visited some of these square miles of properties and interacts with the natives - animal, mineral or vegetable - then the simulator Supreme ramp needs to be able to detail, and then jumps fine print in your focus.Maybe However, the simulator Supreme has is to simulate an infinite capacity and all that is required is the highest level of detail, and just because you know nothing of the particular landscape of Mars or not seen every stone in the wall, not China, it means that the landscape , and these bricks there (in the absence of your presence) in some detail below, the landscape of your garden and the stones that make up the home.In any case, assuming that the Supreme simulator is not omnipotent and omniscient and omnipotent, then mistakes are made. software will need modifications to reduce if not eliminate inconsistencies, paradoxes, contradictions and all those ugly square pegs in round holes.OOPS: Optimize, miracles, updates and patches: So you say the feeling of playing God and creating a universe, not a true, of course, but a simulated one, the supercomputer (presumably ability to create more brain wetware might also be a). Then, you start (the simulator Supreme) by writing the first 'principle' set (s) software to create a Big Bang and dictate the parameters to control the future development of your universe. course not true as a god, it's hard to think of everything and the first part of 'A' can not be very good with the "B", and when you get in the 'C', is all that an absolute mess. Then, you start rewriting and revision, and patch things by changing the software here and there, so that you end up on the train, a cosmos that is a uniform and consistent whole.Oops # 1 - Part 'A' created matter, part 'B' dictates and has created an equal amount of antimatter, so that the parties 'C' to 'Z' totally irrelevant, because your world is pretty boring now - only a universe of pure energy So, change is No. 1 in the "B" to create, but under the surface the value of an extremely low. number you now have a matter dominated universe.Oops # 2 - In the "C" you create with your gravity, matter in order to keep your universe to behave properly and in a nice clock Sorry, your universe now shrinks rapidly. undergoes a Big Crunch - the end of evolution, the end of the simulation Tweak # 2: Create an anti-gravity, in the form of dark energy, that prevent big crunch, while a heavy force to maintain predictability. Oops desired movement # 3 -. After taking care of the macro (you have a question by gravity into planets and stars and galaxies developed and their associated deposits) in the "D", now brush up on the software, all the bits and pieces needed to Micro Control - Part 'E'. Oops, you see, is incompatible with the software macro. Well, this obviously has no real impact on other parts of the cosmic creation, and since very busy, dealing with other problems and issues in 1001, have not bothered to change it, ignore - no one will be wiser OOPS (oops, you're not planning further development of cosmologists and quantum physicists!): Why are miracles twinch A miracle is something inexplicable.? unexplained .. There is a direct violation of known laws of science, I believe, is a miracle, something that corrects an error, an error that should never have happened in the first place, when the Supreme simulator was on the ball. For example, say you need have a leg amputee, only later grow back! This is a miracle, which had probably not counted by the simulator or programmed Supreme correct or desired. Then, count the number of alleged miraculous events that have been absorbed through the eras of history human - that is a lot of tweaks alleged Why do I know if you and all around you (out to the ends of the universe) is only a simulation (created inside? spirit wetware or as software on a device - . Supreme Simulator super-computer), it is not known which have been programmed not to know, or simply ignorant in the same way that the character in your dream is not aware, there is a spiritual creation - an artifact of the mind Ditto characters of the game -. not, are an artificial creation, a form of artificial life, because you're a person simulated, are not under control, because they are inevitable and should only. power given to swim -. puppet Supreme simulator can not check your work as a pocket calculator, but can help you calculate the cube root of 27 3 Ditto the company in your dreams you do, do what the mind is. even if you do not know at the time that your mind is a Puppet major controls. your dream character (s) has / have no free will in other words.Never-the-less is there any way to address the correctness or incorrectness. the base case are to be simulated and a simulator Supreme is to maintain control, the clue comes from above - the need for the boss, in order to manipulate their creation of simulation for any inconsistencies or contradictions to say the same is proof that the simulator does not change the Supreme was able to be eliminated. The fact that improvements are needed, our natural environment is suggestive that we are actually in a simulation, or parts of the universe (assuming it is real.) have no real sense or Mother Nature or

Universals Of The Human Condition 2

Aliens: Humans have probably speculated on alien life since I looked up at those points of light in the night sky and wondered "what if". Universal interest and speculation about the reality of alien life, especially intelligent life has ups and downs for several thousand years. Of course the Christian religions have had a head and contribute their two cents worth - nothing good has come of those who I can assure you. Religion should really keep his bloody nose with scientific issues that have moral or ethical implications. In any case, though, and probably dates back to the ancient Greeks before them, it is only in the last 500 years or so has seen an increase in the order of magnitude of speculative interest in aliens and in the last 100 years or so in order magnitude higher than that. There was a further rise of interest in the last two generations, as speculation has turned into experiments examined the Viking space probes to Mars and SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). This, coupled with the appearance of the UFO phenomenon and the possible increase in interest in 'ancient astronauts had to up the ante. A completely new science of astro biology (exobiology nee) is increased in these last two generations and is now a well established discipline. However, as of this writing, we are no wiser for the ancient Greeks were of alien life. However, probably before many of you reading these worlds at the head of the largest radio telescope in the sky, you'll have an answer - it might just be microbes on Mars, but that is still answer.Creativity: humans and some animals can innovative be creative - necessity is the mother of invention - as they try to increase their use tool Using probability of survival. The classic example is that some animals use twigs to pry insects from trees in for their lunch. It 's time snack! Only humans are still artistically creative (with one possible exception - the songs of whales). We are all artistically creative, even if it is only the planning and cooking meals; Decide on furniture and their arrangement, ditto our wallpaper and / or colors, our choice of carpet or tile. Even writing a letter or an e-mail is an artistic creation, is the choice of the wardrobe and hair style. Amateur photography is an artistic expression, of course - an exercise in creativity. Animals Thurs none of these things. And it is clear from the archaeological and anthropological that our ancestors were of the same opinion - artistically creative may have been designed with one purpose in mind as to make pottery to store food or maybe creating something for religious purposes. Very often, however, an art work was created just for the heck of it, or because they liked the person to make The Sun Mona Lisa could be considered a great work of art (although I would have to pay me to hang in my house), but it is useless - just another dust collector. Okay, you might want to drag a couple of dollars to do a few, but 99.999% of all artistic creations just collecting dust. Trait.Exploration create something with little hope of recognition is certainly a human universal: Many animals explore, but not for reasons of theoretical study. Their exploration has a practical purpose in mind - a new home and perhaps better, a source of food as possible that lurks inside the closet unexplored. Humans explore too much, and often for practical reasons - to find the Northwest Passage, looking for the exotic spices of the Orient by heading west from Europe, but bumped into the Americas, however, in search of new lands to add to 'empire of your nation, with a little' stuck Glory of staff as well. However, just because humans are so curious to explore and go where nobody has gone before just to satisfy that curiosity. Voyages to the Moon are at one end of the push, but on another level, what's beyond that hill far away? As it was in the past, so it's even. If you move into a new neighborhood or city that it is just the first thing you do? Explore and find out what's what and where is here. It 's own version of the bold go where I did not go before.Hybrid Creatures 1: human-animal hybrids: Our universal myths are full of human-animal hybrids. The name of the animal and no doubt will be the body of this animal at the top with a human head and neck (sometimes torso), or the human body will be dressed with an animal's head and neck (sometimes Also it is the torso). No need to dig too deep to find examples: the Sphinx, the Minotaur, the Centaur, Satyr, the Mermaid, the Harpies and the Sirens are all well known examples.Hybrid Creatures 2: Animal-animal hybrids: our universal mythologies are so full of animal-animal hybrids. There are combinations of two different animals, three animals, are four times more of a hybrid composite. If one can imagine, someone beat you to it and registered in one or more of ancient mythology. While there are literally hundreds of examples throughout the dog world, it is easy to name the most common ones: the Dragon, the Griffin, also the Pegasus winged horse.Politicians: politicians by any other name (royalty, ministers, senators , emperors, congressmen, presidents, pharaohs, etc.) are political quiet, near universally regarded as among the lowest of the low-ruled, if elected to govern, rule by divine right, or rule by force. Politicians are probably in that category you can not live without them, you can not live (as you'd like to anyway) with them. At best, we must conclude that the politicians were, are and will continue to be a necessary evil by all companies and all they have, are, or want exist.Recreational Drugs: There is no doubt that the recreational use of drugs (and probably abuse) goes back thousands of multi-year. The fermentation of wine and gapes for its use goes back at least 8000-6000 BC, and was a very common drink in Greece, Egypt and Rome, the preparation and use of beer dates back even further to at least 9500 BC; smoking is Registering at least 5000 BC onwards, often as incense and for use in various religious rituals / shaman of the Middle East through Asia and the Americas, and no doubt our ancient ancestors, by trial and error, as what was edible and what was not tasty, no doubt discovered 'magic mushrooms' and other similar natural plant materials that have provided not only low in calories but a little' buzzing too! For example, the use of opium dates back to 4200 BC. The list could be expanded massively, but you get the gist. Drug use is one of those universal rights - has always been, probably always will be. And while some species of animals can be artificially induced to become addicted to alcohol, say, a wild animal can not afford to become addicted to any substance in its environment and become disoriented. A mouse nibbling on a magic mushroom is just asking for the change trouble.Shape and men-Creatures: Shape-shifters and were the creatures are very popular in the sci-fi ("The Thing from Another World" or "Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country "and horror (the endless variations on" Wolfman "classic). are so popular, in reality, if reality is mythology. Whenever in the field of mythology we come across a theme that is universal, that is transverse to all cultures, geographies, races, etc., so I guess you have to pay extra attention, such as universal themes are more likely to have a basis in reality. Another issue is that the investigation of the shape-shifter, men-creatures . Almost every culture around the world has some kind of transformation of the myth, and almost all animals that are commonly (and some not-so-common), probably had a shapeshifting myth attached to them somewhere along the line . As for humans, the most obvious explanation is that at one time or another we would all like to have finished in unobtrusive fly-on-the-ceiling, watching and listening to what is not wanted for our eyes and ears. As much as we'd like, at times, we can not shape-shift into a fly, but that does not really explain why we should give others the ability to -. there is no point in personally, now wants the popular idea of ​​a shape-shifter is ? of a human (or humanoid) is that it transforms into something else, or something else that turns into something human (or humanoid) and common examples include skin-walkers, the werewolf and vampire (even if humans were attributed to transform into almost any mammal or bird you can think of). Other common forms of shifters are fairies, wizards, witches, Kelpie, and some, even most of the gods (like Odin, Loki and Zeus). Satan should also be included. However, although we can not shape-shift (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde does not bear), although other human beings can (or could), so that the capacity has been attributed to literally hundreds of dog creatures from time immemorial. There are many stories that can transform into animals other animal forms themselves, as well as the aforementioned human-animal transformations.Social: Hermits are few and far between Relatively We voluntarily associate in large clusters usually like -with-That sometimes, as reflected in the ghettos .. and / or ethnic neighborhoods (Chinatown), which usually was not quite the social question in ancient history which has tended to be in the last three centuries. that the species human is a social animal is never so dramatically brought to the fore that with the modern phenomena, something that verges on pure obsession, have to be in contact 7/24/52 seemingly endless flow of people to produce e-mails, . like the use of cams, blog the most trivial of trivia, the text messages involved in arthritis so much that rates among young people are expected to skyrocket, close to engage in endless cell phone use; do after posting publication on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter (and similar sites), etc. We throw parties, eat together, participate in all sorts of features with our peers, and it goes on and on social activities do not just look any sex or age or nationality.Sports. competitions both as a harmless game, a competition as more formal and structured (whether amateur or professional) has been the case in all societies from the point until the day of the year ' Now the ancient Greeks had their Olympic Games. Mesoamericans their ball field events in which just do not want to be on the losing side, the Americans have their national pastime (baseball). other countries or cultures fanatically crazy than any other kind of sport that it rugby or football or ice hockey does not even need to be a fan of or participate in team sports and struggle just Chess. require an opponent, golf and bowling does not even require that the sports competitions have to rate it as one of the most universal of the universal human ever.Superstitions. This requires almost no long comment from blacks cats, walking under ladders, a. Friday 13, breaking mirrors, stepping on sidewalk cracks, avoiding, suiting for Charlie Brown His baseball games in a way just so, etc. Every culture has had (and often still) endless superstitions and rituals to ward them off, which could not shrug it off as harmless nonsense now, but we are always caught with a grain of proverbial salt thrown over his shoulders more than one cat, and some women, suffered the most horrible torture because of superstitions.Taboos. Every company in the world at any time had a certain set of taboos -. which made sense as some incest (inbreeding is bad in terms of Darwinian evolution), but many have done that, for example, only the ancient Chinese emperor or empress was allowed to have the image of a dragon on their clothing, for all other that it was forbidden under pain of death, some foods are taboo: some prohibited or allowed only on certain days - the most illogical, if not for health reasons, which usually was not or is not the. rational. And even if all companies have or have had taboos, there is often little consistency between them, or even inside. royal families often engaged in incest, even though a taboo among the commoners., but some companies are allowed, even encouraged polygamy, and other taboos.! Territoriality practice Vai figure: The animals usually play to defend a certain amount of territory, that amount of space needed to sustain itself, sufficient space to find a partner, territory sufficient to support and raise a family in Animals rarely require more than that. They tomb area just for the sake of the territory and grab for bragging rights. too large a space is indefensible in any case. You can patrol a large area with the resources at your command the Sun. Humans are naturally territorial. unease We defend our personal space. we do not know if anyone gets within a certain distance from us. a man's house is his castle, and we do not care for offenders. If foreign nations threaten or invade our country, we the nationalist fever and do our patriotic duty. And while the number of conflicts and wars are perhaps given too much prominence in our history books, it is fair to say that many a nation has invaded many other nations ( s) to acquire and expand their territory that is usually for a practical purpose (s) -. vai little war just for the heck of it often that the reason (s) is obtaining the necessary natural resources, including resources human (slaves), or eliminating a potential threat. before you delete, or to provide more space for its expanding population to expand. When it comes to expand your territory, we are a little 'less selfish rational practice focus instead on reasons more political, cultural, and / or include religious unification - say replace paganism with your brand of Christianity, communism vs. democracy.Treasure regardless of pirates and buried treasure, bank robbers and stashed the loot , prospectors who continue to lose the mainstream, or pharaoh grave goods (you can take with. you thought) all societies have their cultural treasures, often in part, compounds of precious metals, jewels, pearls, jade, ivory, etc. but not always. Treasure entire culture or two for the archaeologist does not always mean gold doubloons and X marks the '! When societies are threatened by outside forces, commercials, in all too frequent occurrences in human history, often hide or move those mobile assets comprising those cultural treasures. In the turmoil that follows, sometimes documentation becomes lost or destroyed entries, scattered in various locations, then thicken as you lose the mists of time - and the treasure so that they If you have lost cultural treasures looted by the invaders, the fate is often the same - scattered to the four winds - a bit 'of ending up in private collections.; other conserved / buried away and forgotten in the final analysis, object-values ​​are then lost There is a lot wrong with precious cultural assets lost at sea when the ships were sunk and there are some three million shipwrecks around the world .. a lot of gold (and similar), which lost in the Transportation to the Old World from the New World between the treasures of all types of interest only to archaeologists and historians some treasure ships (however you define it) have been discovered and recorded. much remains to be The result is that there is. Lots of treasures that remain unexplained, hidden, buried or just lost, plain and every culture can relate to this. But it is not individuals only treasure that is universal in human cultures. The whole concept of the Treasury is fascinating, even riveting to us As if that treasure is modern or ancient, local or located halfway around the world And so it was and probably always will be [EXTRACT] Aliens: .. People have probably speculated about extraterrestrial life, as he looked up in these points of light in the night sky and wondered "what if". universal interest and speculation about the reality of extraterrestrial life forms, especially intelligent life has waxed and lows for several thousand years. Of course the Christian religions had in the ass and take their two cents worth -. nothing positive came of them, I assure you that religion should really keep his nose bloodied scientific questions that have no moral or ethical implications as it may, but probably by the ancient Greeks and before them there. only in the last 500 years or so, an order of magnitude of speculative interest of aliens in the last 100 years or so an order of magnitude increase more evidence of this. There was a further increase exponential rate of interest, especially in recent generations, as speculation has turned to experiments like the Viking Mars space probes and SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence). This, coupled with the appearance of the UFO phenomenon and the increase of interest for possible "ancient astronauts, the ante. A completely new science of astrobiology (exobiology born) has increased over the last two generations and is now an established discipline. But as of this writing, we were none the wiser by alien life forms , as the ancient Greeks. But probably before many of you reading this, head to the worlds largest radio telescope in the sky, it has an answer - it might just be microbes on Mars, but this is still a answer.Creativity: humans some animals can be creative and be innovative - necessity as the mother of invention - like .. use as a tool to use to promote their chances of survival The classic example is to encourage some animals with branches of trees from insects for their lunch, it's time to bite people only, but artistically creative (with one possible exception -! whale songs). We are all artistic and creative, even if it's only meal planning and cooking, to decide on furniture and their arrangement, ditto our documents and / or finishes, our selection of carpet or tile. also write a letter or an e-mail is an artistic creation, such as the choice of her wardrobe and hair style is being of amateur photography, artistic expression - .. an exercise in creativity, animals and none of this is evident from the archaeological and anthropological our ancestors. the same spirit were -. artistically creative, possibly designed with a goal in mind, such as pottery, food in the camps or perhaps to create something for religious purposes, but very often the art work was created just for the heck of it, or because you. the person to make the Mona Lisa may be a good work of art (although I would have had to pay to hang in my house) are, but it is useless -. just another dust collector Okay, you might want to pull in a. be some tourist dollars, but 99.999% of all artistic creations just collecting dust to create something with little hope of recognition is certainly a universal human right trait.Exploration: exploring many animals, but not for theoretical reasons your academic research has a practical. to explore a new home and possibly better , a possible source of food that lurks in the unexplored wardrobe people, and often for practical reasons - purpose, in the sense of finding the Northwest Passage, search for exotic spices from the Orient by heading west. Europe, North and South America but are instead, in search of new lands, your nation, add a little 'more personal realm of fame stuck as well. explore However, only human, because they are curious and like to go where no man has gone before just to satisfy their curiosity . Voyages to the Moon is a pole of this desire, but on another level, which is far behind that hill? As it was in the past, it still is. If you move to a new neighborhood or city, which is virtually the first thing I should do? Discover and find out what is what and where, when. E 'own version of the bold go where nobody has gone before.Hybrid Creatures 1 are:. human-animal hybrids are loaded with our universal mythologies human-animal hybrids, is the name of the animal, and no doubt is whether the body of this animal to garnish with a human head and neck (sometimes torso) or even the human body with an animal head and neck (sometimes to beat, his trunk will be) there is no need to dig deep to find examples. the sphinx, the minotaur, the centaur, the satyr, the Mermaid, the Harpies, and the sirens are all well known examples . Hybrid Creatures 2: animal-animal hybrids: Our universal myths are also accused of animal-animal hybrids are combinations of two different animals, three animals at times. other four doing a hybrid composite, if you can imagine. somebody 'was beaten and taken in one or more of ancient mythology While there are literally hundreds of examples from around the world, it's easy to get the commoners. remember: the dragon, Griffin, and even the winged Pegasus horse.Politicians: political party any other name (the royal family, ministers, senators, emperors, congressmen, presidents, pharaohs, etc.) are still politicians, closely generally considered one of the lowest of the low-ruled, if elected, to govern, rule by divine right, or authority considered by violence. politicians are probably in this category you can not live without it, you can not live (as you would in any case like) exist.Recreational with them is better, We concluded that the politicians were, and continue to be a necessary evil, of all companies that have, or are drugs. There is no doubt that drug use in free time (and probably abuse) comes from the multi-thousands of years. wine fermentation and gapes for its use dates back at least 8000-6000 BC and was a very common beverage in ancient Greece, Egypt and Rome, the production and consumption of beer also goes back to 9500 BC, at least, the smoke rose from at least 5000 BC, often referred to as incense and for use in a variety of religious ritual / shamanic recorded from the Middle East to Asia and America, and without doubt our ancestors, by trial and error, what that was edible and what was not tasty, no doubt, found 'magic mushrooms' and other similar vegetable substances which are not only low in calories, but a! bit' .. a buzz also provided, for example, dates back to use of opium around 4200 BC The list could be expanded massively, but you get the essentials of drug use is one of those universal rights - has always been probably always will be. And while some species of animals dependent on artificial means alcohol-induced, can not afford a wild animal in us, addicted to any substance in their environment and become disoriented. A mouse nibbling on a magic mushroom is just asking for trouble. shapeshifting and men-Creatures: Shape-shifters-creatures and men are very popular in science fiction ("The Thing from Another World" and "Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country" and horror (the infinite variations on 'Wolfman' classic). are also popular in fact, if the mythology is a reality . Also in the field of mythology, you come across a subject that is universal, that is to say, that cuts across all cultures, regions, races, etc., then I think you should pay extra attention to how universal themes can have a base more certain reality. One of these is that the shape-shifting, among which were-creatures. Almost all cultures around the world has some kind of transformation of the myth, and almost every commonly found animal (and some old ones not-so-common), you probably have a shape-shifter legend was attached to them somewhere along the way. As for humans, the most obvious explanation is that at one time or another we all want to go to a inconspicuous can fly-on-the-top to observe and listen to what they did not want for our eyes and ears. As far as we'd like, sometimes we do not have to turn into a fly is not really explain, but because we this capacity, variously attributed to have -. not do it, personally we have something good, now is the common idea of ​​a shape-shifter of a human (or humanoid) creatures into something else, or something else? In some exemplary human (or humanoid) and to transform the common skin-walkers, the werewolf and vampire (if people have also been attributed to transform into any mammal or bird) to imagine. other common shapeshifters include fairies, wizards, witches , Kelpie, and some, even most of the gods (like Odin, Loki and Zeus). Satan would also be included. but if we do not make-shift (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde can not resist), although others (could), so also has the ability, have been awarded to hundreds of creatures from time immemorial There are many stories about animals that are found in other animals and that human-animal transformations.Social can transform animal.:. Hermits are planted relatively thin We associate spontaneously in large groups, usually like-with-like at times in the ghettos and. / or ethnic neighborhoods (Chinatown), which was not usually the social problem in the old story that tends to be in the last three centuries. that the human species is a social animal is nowhere to be dramatically brought to the fore, as the modern phenomena, some bordering pure obsession, with the contact 24/7/52 people that produce flows endless e-mail. like the use of cams, blogging to access even more trivial curiosity, since arthritis text messaging prices are linked to young people rocket, approaching infinite use your phone, do intervention post on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter (and similar sites), etc. We throw parties, eat together, all kinds of features to visit with our colleagues, and so on we go, the social activities which are not a group sex or age or nationality.Sports restricted. competitions, both as a harmless game, a competition more formal and structured (whether amateur or professional), have been the case in all companies from the year dot to present The ancient Greeks had their own Olympics. the Mesoamericans their ball games competitions, in which not only would want to be on the losing side of being, and the Americans have their national pastime (baseball), other countries or cultures are fanatically crazy about all kinds of other sports, there will be rugby or football or ice hockey does not even have a fan, or sports team, chess and fight .. only one opponent, golf and bowling is not even required requires that competitive sports should be evaluated as one of the universal human universal ever.Superstitions This hardly requires a lengthy commentary by blacks cats, walking under ladders, 13 to .. Friday, breaking mirrors, step to avoid cracks on the sidewalk, up to Suitable when Charlie Brown baseball games in a fair manner so etc. Every culture has (and often still are) countless superstitions and rituals to ward off. we may reject harmless nonsense now, but we always do it with a proverbial grain of salt above my shoulder more than a couple of cats and women suffered the most terrible torture adopted by the cast, because superstitions.Taboos: Every society has everywhere and at any time before a series of taboos - some sense, as the 'incest (incest is bad from a Darwinian perspective of evolution), but many do not, for example, only the ancient Chinese emperor or empress could have. image of a dragon on their clothing, for all other that was taboo under pain of death, some foods are banned, some prohibited or allowed only on certain days - the most illogical, if not for health reasons in the rule or not is not rational, and even if all companies have or have had, taboos, often there is little agreement among themselves, or even in their families ... often used in actual incest, even if it is a taboo among the commoners, but allows some companies, even while others encouraged the practice of polygamy Vai territoriality taboo game animal portrait .. a rule and defend a certain amount of territory, that much space is required in order to get enough space to find a partner to obtain a large enough area to maintain a family in need and animals rarely more. They do not just take land for the good of the land grab and for bragging rights. too large a space is an intolerable situation in any case. you can only patrol so much space with the resources at your command. People are naturally territorial . We defend our personal space. We are uncomfortable when someone we do not know, gets within a certain distance from us. a man's house is his castle, and not bother to unauthorized persons. If invade foreign nations or threaten our country, for the nationalist fever and do our patriotic duty. And while the number of conflicts and wars would have been given too much prominence in our history books, it is fair to say that a nation has many many other nations (s), came to acquire and expand their territory that is usually for a practical purpose (s) -. just go to war just for the heck of it often, the reason (s) you need to preserve natural resources, including staff (slaves), or eliminating a potential threat to you before .. delete, or propose to extend to more space for your growing population when it comes to expand your territory, there are some practical reasons less selfish to focus instead on the reasons more political, cultural and / or religious, including Union - Pagan replaces the item with your brand of Christianity, communism against democracy.Treasure: Not to mention pirates and buried treasure, bank robbers and stored prey, the gold miners, to keep the loss of the Mother Lode, or Pharaoh's funeral (you can take it with you thought) All societies have their cultural treasures, often in some of the precious metals, jewels, pearls, jade, ivory, etc. , but not always together. treasure of a whole culture or an archaeologist does not always mean gold coins, and X marks the spot! For companies that are threatened by external forces, an event in human history too often, too often hiding or move by moving valuables belonging to cultural heritage. In the confusion that follows, sometimes the paperwork is lost or destroyed, the 'elements, scattered in different places, also lost, as the thickening mists of time - and lost treasure when cultural treasures of invaders plundered, the fate of many is the same - accurate to twenty - an end in private collections., other conserved / buried and, finally, remember the items with values ​​will be lost due to accidents are a lot of valuable cultural heritage on water is lost when the ships were sunk and there are some three million shipwrecks around the world .. a lot of gold (and other similar objects) was lost in traffic in the Old World from the treasures of the New World , including all types of interest only to archaeologists and historians of the issuance of a treasure (however you define it) have been discovered and recorded, much remains to be .. The bottom line is that there is a lot of treasures that remain unexplained, hidden, buried or simply lost, and every culture can relate to this. But not only the treasure is universal in human cultures. The whole concept of wealth is fascinating, exciting for us as individuals if Treasury is modern or old. located locally or around the world and has been and probably always will.

Cyborgs - Science Fiction to Scientific Reality

The year is 2021, two decades after the attacks of 9/11. A group of terrorists are sitting at an outdoor café to discuss their plans. A cat watches from about 5 meters away. Images are transmitted from his brain provides real-time information. At the same time, a small beetle go unnoticed because it takes a position below the table. E 'with a listening device that transmits nano-content of the discussion so that the terrorists in real time. A few minutes later, a pair of pigeons around the country and begin to peck the crumbs. In doing so gradually closer to the table. A few minutes later, each pigeon wing lift distribution of a poisoned dart. Before the terrorists could react, all of them died. Elsewhere in the world, a soldier who lost his arms and legs in combat, through perseverance and the use of bionic limbs wins a triathlon. In the process, which overcomes death with natural limbs. Sound far-fetched? No more! Cyborgs - part machine, part organic body that can be used for scientific, medical, military / intelligence / law enforcement purposes, have become reality thanks to scientific and technological advances that have both the promise (for example the possibility of significant medical discoveries to restore and enhance quality of life and prolong life itself) and trepidation (machine and organism, such as merges, delineating the boundary of life becomes blurred impact rights, while controlling the ability of thought and action human becomes frighteningly real.) The term "cyborg" was coined by NASA scientists Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline in 1960, when it comes to the hypothetical benefits of human-machine space. Even if he tries to cybernetic organisms has become the realm of science fiction, the efforts to create real cyborg begins even before the term was conceived and continue until today. · In 1950, Jose Delgado of Yale University placed electrodes on the brain of a bull to gain control of oil on his movements. Has successfully removed this control demonstrated in Cordoba, Spain in 1963, when he was in the path of a charging bull cyborg and drove away at the last minute. · The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has attempted to create his own cyborg in 1961 in Operation Acoustic Kitty, # in which a cat was cut open and a set of cables (one for each overwrite examined sensations such as hunger) and a listening device that is used as an antenna to its tail. The project was disbanded as a failure in 1967, when the cat on his first mission (to intercept the Soviet compound in Washington, DC) was killed by a taxi on the move to send more than five years of intensive training and $ 15 million the drain.Afterwards, cyborg research remained dormant until 1980, taking steam a decade later. At this point, science and technology have made considerable progress, especially with the miniaturization of devices and technology is further developed and refined components.As cybernetics, the perfect synthesis of artificial and organic parts is likely to become widespread that require modification of basic definitions of life and its associated rights, the creation of international protocols and apply the adjustment of perceptions in the mind. Cybernetic technology can have three main applications: Military / Intelligence / Law Enforcement: first efforts involving animal experiments were mainly aimed at the military / intelligence / law control applications. Some of the important experiments are listed below: · In an article by Bill Christensen Technovelgy.com (Jack in the brain of a cat), scientists have produced a video of a moving scene recognizable as seen through the eyes of a cat 1999. This was accomplished through the use of electrodes that recorded and cataloged in the answers while the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and 177 selected brain cells of a sharp-eyed cat. Although the images were not as sharp as those seen by human eyes and recorded by video cameras, the technology continues to improve. (A moral concern) adjustments near future is likely to improve the quality and clarity of vision and cats felines selected for surveillance operations can also have their eyes replaced with cybernetic devices equipped with miniature cameras natural. · In 2002, a team led by John Chapin at the State University of New York (SUNY) mice created by implanting electrodes in their brains cyborg. Were then trained to move in dance according to the pulses supplied by electrodes and search for specific scents (eg human, explosives, explodes dye, etc.). When the test, each rat was fitted with a camera small cyborg to provide an indication of success of the mission. The rats were then successfully led to a specific location by radio-frequency controlled. Subsequently, plants were shut down and as soon as they realized the rats were free of their control, they went into a way of sniffing and successfully identified the source of an odor target. The trial lasted only a few minutes and was successfully repeated in additional tests. · In 2005, a team of scientists led by Su Xuecheng at the Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao, China, successfully controlled the flight pigeon (direction and up / down) via the wireless signal is transmitted to electrodes implanted on their brains by a laptop computer. Similarly, in 2006, Jelle Atema of Boston University controlled directional motion of a shark spring (a small type of shark) via a neural implant that stimulated the olfactory area to the left or right of its light brain.In to seek successful, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA), the latter which was dissolved, which have made significant progress. The last phase of the efforts of the DOD - the development of hybrid insect-Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (HI-MEMS) - is focused on "small" (to create cyborg inconspicuous) and confidence on the flight of insects, which is unmatched on agility. The experiments were conducted on beetles, flies and 2008 moths.Since different stages have been completed: • Tobacco Horn worms with miniature electronic systems survived and grew into adult moths Manduca without complications. X-ray revealed the 2008 micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) conference in Tucson, Arizona has shown a good growth of tissue around implanted probes that had been where abdominal segments would grow during the larval stage, after a part of their chest was removed to make room for plants. Hookworms fitted with cybernetic devices showed no signs of complications or adverse deficit of rejection during metamorphosis. · A video, created at the Boyce Thompson Institute in Ithaca, New York, documenting effective control of the moth flight was well shown during the 2008 MEMS Conference. Moth movement was controlled by a series of 5-volt shock that have stimulated the muscles of the wings delivered through a lead wire. Uniform deterministic stimuli extracted wing resulting speed up / down while stimuli applied to the muscles of the wings on one side or the other extract deterministic direction. · A process similar to that used by a team of researchers led by Michel Maharbiz the University of California (UNC) Berkeley is managed by Green June Beetles. Negative (transmitted by wire on a leash) activated by neural impulses wings of beetles, plants, resulting in pulses of positive slope and stopped their movement of the resulting drop-down. Lift and drop-down have been controlled by rapidly switching between the two types of pulses. In Sametime, the directional control of beetle flight was achieved in two ways: - using an LED mounted in front of their eyes and impulses to a muscle of his left or right basilar · The same team of Berkeley UNC presented a wireless system that successfully controlled. Rhinoceros Beetle flight during the MEMS 2009 conference held in Sorrento, Italy.The current goal of research funded by DoD is to create cyborg insects that can be remotely controlled by at least 100 meters, direct to land within a maximum of 5 meters from a target subject, and remain there until directed to leave. When this command is successful (overcoming barriers proved as strong winds), can be implanted miniature cameras for surveillance, sensors to detect biological, chemical, or radiological agents, and small arms (using powerful poisons and hallucinogenic drugs) to attack targets.Medical potential: The second main application of cybernetic research is to develop technology for restoring or improving human medical capacity (for example, the vision - limited with regard to the distance, and the display of small objects, etc.; communication - limited to speech and writing) in 2002, Kevin. Warwick, one of the leading experts on cyber technology has made man the world's first cyborg (documented in I, Cyborg, University of Illinois Press, Chicago, IL, 2004) in an effort to facilitate research aimed at these objectives. A 3 mm square silicon layer with 100 electrodes were implanted in his wrist to allow scientists to interpret the neural signals arising from the movement and sensation in the hope of providing innovative technology paralyzed.Cybernetic is, as a minimum, a medical point of view, is directed to different areas. A summary of progress and future aspirations for these areas is listed below: Sight · In February 2007, Gingersnap, a 4-year-old Abyssinian cat is suffering from a condition similar to retinitis pigmentosa (an incurable genetic disease that attacks the photoreceptor cells of the eye leading to blindness) was implanted with 2 mm at the level of artificial silicon retina (ASR) Chips (each covered by 5,000 micro photodiodes that react to light. When these micro-photodiodes react, electrical signals are sent through the nerve Optical eye to the brain allowing you to detect light pulse) produced by Optobionics to preserve his vision. As technology improves, more probably be able to transmit data to enable the brain to decipher complete images. · Comments retinal implants are currently in use to combat macular degeneration (a disorder that results in loss of vision in the macula in the center of the eye, which makes it difficult to see the fine details) · Contact lenses referred to as "I Contact "that interface with a computer mouse, # in which the eye movement controls the movement of the cursor, have been developed to help the disabled. Comments · Researchers at the University of Washington, having developed contact lenses with electronic circuits and red LEDs that are working on lenses (at the end to be powered by human neural electrical activity) that could one day provide tele / microscopic vision, allowing people to view the infrared part of the spectrum, take pictures, shoot video, and even superimpose images accessible from the Internet via WiFi.Hearing: · More than 100 000 people who are profoundly deaf are now using a bionic ear (cochlear implants, which are based on a direct neural connection) that stimulates the nerves in the inner-ear hearing to understand speech and other sounds. Research is currently focused on allowing users to distinguish between speech of cochlear implant and other background sounds.Mind-Controlled Mobility: Although research · To provide mobility and the possibility for quadriplegics (which constitute approximately 1.25 million population) to operate major appliances tested as a television and computer is silent in his poor childhood, significant progress is being made.o In 2008 a monkey successfully moved a robot via neural implants. In another example, a rhesus monkey (Idoya) located in North Carolina managed a robot through thought alone in Japan as part of the Computational Brain Project, led by Miguel AL Nicolelis neuro-scientist with researchers at Duke University Medical Center and the Japan Science and Technology Agency.o Researchers at Osaka University in Japan, are currently working with four human subjects tested, each of which had a sheet of electrodes placed directly on their brain that can deterministically Sole mine brainwave activity associated with the arm, elbow, and finger movements to discern activity intended to allow the movement of the mind-controlled future prosthesis. Currently, researchers can extract deterministic activities provided greater than 80% activity.o In Sametime, European scientists have created a non-intrusive brain-computer interface (BCI) (although still under research and development), which uses the brain human activities and integrated plans for the AI ​​to operate devices (eg computers, wheelchairs, artificial limbs). BCIS finally afford to quadriplegics and mobility skills, once unimaginable.Cybernetic Arts: · The synthetic shares are routinely used for hip and knee. Regarding the latter, a new knee design (currently in limited distribution in the United States and the United States) that is synchronized with the natural leg movement of a user is so effective that its recipients can easily climb, climb stairs and even engage in extreme sports. · In poor, nicknamed the "Luke arm" of the character of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, which was developed # in which the movement can be controlled by the nerves, muscles and Bluetooth ® enabled shoe pads that allow users with no arms to eat, pick up small objects and use their prosthetic arms and hands in the same way people use natural weapons and hands. · An Australian woman has been endowed in 2009 with the world's first fully functioning artificial finger can curl and grip like a finger through the use of natural nerve endings. · Research is underway to find a way to metal bone graft can be grown Sun that the skin around it by creating combinations of synthetic / organic parti.Gli · The efforts made to provide prosthetic devices, artificial intelligence # in which micro-implants in muscles and nerves will allow users to move their limbs again Just thought (in line with human control of natural limb) cardiac treatment:. · Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD) are currently in use by patients while they have some heart function, require artificial assistance to sustain their lives. · Comments artificial hearts were developed with the CardioWest temporary Total Artificial Heart (TAH t) AbioCor Replacement Heart, and having been approved for human use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, research and development is underway for a permanent fixture. Currently, artificial hearts have been used on a genetic basis temporary manifestation (up to a donor heart was found), with few exceptions. In one exception research, a patient survived 512 days with AbioCor device.Alzheimer 's Disease / Parkinson's and epilepsy: · By the BBC (August 13, 2008), researchers (in 2008) at the University of Reading , Reading, UK has created a multi-electrode is composed of neurons about 300 000 matrix extracted from a fetal rat to control the robotic movement. The cells, kept separate from the robot in a container at controlled temperature (filled with a solution of broth pink) equipped with electrodes communicated via Bluetooth ® short-wave radio. The objective is to obtain a better understanding of neurons with the hope of discovering effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease (both debilitating neurological disorders, Alzheimer's disease negatively impacts the memory, while Parkinson's disease is characterized by muscle rigidity, tremors, slowed physical movement and language disorders. and involuntary functions), and epilepsy (a common neurological disorder characterized by repeated spontaneous seizures) Robotics / Computer Technology: the future of robots and computers can use the living and nonliving components equal. Potentially, this could be very problematic if the search technology is applied in a malicious or unethical as it could lead to a new generation of slaves. Consequently, international protocols (including those relating to the ethical treatment of animals) and other safeguards will be needed to address those problems evolves.In cybernetic technology meantime, a team of scientists led by Charles Higgins of the University of Arizona in Tucson is seeking to transform insects in "high-level sensory robotic controllers [from] vision (which is expensive) [currently] can not beat the living systems, which are refined to recognize objects or detect the motion" [1] At the same time, scientists at the 'IBM Almaden Research Center and the California Institute of Technology are currently developing a new generation of microprocessors that use DNA to live with the objective of creating devices.Conclusion smaller, faster and less expensive: cyborgs, once relegated to science fiction Provide scientific realities have become vast military / intelligence / law enforcement, medical, and technological perspectives. If cybernetic technology is used ethically and benevolently in which the human mind remains the primary driver in place of mind control imposed, will open new windows of opportunity - providing greater freedom and better standards of life, trapped in their own bodies quadriplegics , the blind, imprisoned in a dark world of the deaf confined in a prison of silence, and people with age or injury, you will need spare parts and synthetic seamlessly consumed or destroyed. It will also expand human capabilities with regard to the speed, the view, communication, and the resistance. Finally, when you look for technology gains widespread acceptance and use, it is likely that most of the human race will be cyborgs, but not as expected by science fiction._________ [1] The cyborg animal spies hatching in the laboratory of New Scientist.

A group of terrorists in a cafe, sitting on their plans. A cat watching from about 5 meters. The images are transferred from his brain provision of information in real time. At the same time, a small beetle unnoticed as they are in position under the table. It is equipped with a nano-listening device that transmits the contents of the conversation terrorist in real time. A few minutes later, a few pigeons land nearby and started to peck the crumbs. As they do, inches closer to the table. A few minutes later, everyone raises a wing dove release of a poisoned arrow. React before the terrorists are all dead. Elsewhere in the world wins, a soldier who lost his arms and legs in combat, for the perseverance and the use of bionic limbs a triathlon. Improve or death with natural limbs. Sounds far-fetched? No more! Cyborgs - half a biological machine, body part, the scientific, medical, military / intelligence / law enforcement purposes may be used are now possible thanks to scientific and technological progress, and opportunities (such as the possibility of significant innovations care to restore and improve the quality of life and life span) and add fear (for example, as a machine and organism, blurring the line of life which affect the rights attached, while the ability to control human thought and the action is incredibly real). The term "cyborg" was coined by Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline NASA scientists in 1960 to discuss the hypothetical benefits of human-machine in the room.

Although the images were not as sharp as those seen by human eyes and recorded by video cameras to keep improving the technology. In the near future, probably adaptations clarity and quality of cats and dogs vision for surveillance operations have even chosen to enhance their natural eyes with cybernetic device with mini-cameras (moral concern) replaced equipped. · In 2002, a team led by John Chapin at the State University of New York (SUNY) created cyborg rat by implanting electrodes in the brain. Subsequently, they were trained to move in accordance with pulses supplied through the electrodes and for certain odors (eg, human explodes, dyeing explosives, etc.) for the search. In considering each rat was fitted with cyborg with a tiny camera, to provide evidence of the success of the mission. The rats were then correctly is brought to a certain position on the radio-controlled pulses. Subsequently, plants were closed as soon as the rats and set them free from their control, they went to a way of sniffing and successfully identified the source of an odor target. The trial lasted only a few minutes and was successfully repeated in additional tests. · In 2005, a team of scientists on Xuecheng at Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao, China, led the successful controlled flight dove sent (direction and angle / slope) via a wireless signal to an electrode implanted in the brain laptops . In 2006, Jelle Atema Boston University controlled by the movement forward of a shark spring (a small species of shark) via a neural implant to the olfactory area to the left or right of its brain.In Given this success, the Department of Defense stimulated (DoD) and U.S. Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA), the latter having been resolved, significant progress has been made. The last phase of the efforts of the Ministry of Defence - the development of hybrid insects Micro-electro mechanical (HI-MEMS) - based on "small" (to create cyborg discrete) and the dependence of the flight of insects, which is unsurpassed in terms of mobility aligned.

Negative pulses from neural systems (tied transmitted via cable) that allowed the increase in beetle wings, positive impulses were moving their wings will be reduced. Lifting and lowering are controlled by rapidly switching between the two types of pulses. At the same time was the direction of flight control beetles obtained in two ways - by an LED mounted in front of their eyes, and is encouraging the muscles to the left or right · The same basic UNC-Berkeley group presented a wireless system, which is failed to control. Rhinoceros beetle in flight MEMS 2009 Conference held in Sorrento, is Italy.The goal of the DoD-funded research on insect cyborgs, remote control of at least 100 meters away can be taught to less than 5 meters from one country to create the chosen subject , and remain there until directed to leave. If this is the mastery with success (overcoming strong wind), miniature surveillance cameras can be implanted sensors to detect biological, chemical, or radiological agents, and small arms (using dangerous poisons and hallucinogens), to identify potential targets. Medical attack: The second important application of cybernetic research is to develop technologies for the recovery doctor or improve human capacities (for example, the vision - in terms of distance, angle of view of objects and small, etc. is limited, the communication - written and limited to letters) in 2002, Kevin.

The objective is to provide a better understanding of neurons with the hope of obtaining effective treatments for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease (both debilitating neurological diseases, slows the memory of Alzheimer's negative impact, while Parkinson's disease is characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, physical activity and impaired language development and involuntary functions) and epilepsy (a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent spontaneous seizures) Robotics / computer technology. future robots and computers, probably living and nonliving components is to use. Perhaps this could be very problematic if the technology is used in a malicious or unethical, because it could lead to a new generation of slaves. Consequently, international protocols (also with regard to the ethical treatment of animals), and other protective provisions to these problems is the cybernetic technology can address evolves.In Meanwhile, a team of scientists led by Charles Higgins of the University of Arizona Research in Tucson led to transform insects [1] "High-level robot sensory control [by] vision (which is expensive) [currently] not beat the living systems, the ground to locate objects or to recognize the movement" In same time, time, scientists at the IBM Almaden Research Center and the California Institute of Technology are currently developing a new generation of microprocessors to use DNA to live with the objective to create smaller, faster and cheaper devices.Conclusion : cyborgs, once science fiction has become scientific reality relegated offers huge military / intelligence / police, medical and technological perspectives. If cybernetic technology is benevolent and ethically, where the human mind remains the primary driver rather than imposed mind control used, will open up new opportunities - more freedom and better standards of life, quadriplegic in his body is trapped in the Blind world of darkness imprisoned, confined to the deaf in a prison of silence, and for people with age or injury, no synthetic replacement parts for those who need to be worn out or destroyed. It will also expand human capabilities in terms of speed, vision, communication and perseverance. Finally, if this technology is gaining wide acceptance and use, it is likely that most of the human race will be cyborg, although not presented in the way of science fiction._________ [1] The animal hatch cyborg lights in the laboratory.
