We Are Living In A Hologram Designed By Aliens, Says NASA Scientist



Excerpt

Who says there are no open-minded scientists at NASA?



A NASA scientist suggests you are living inside a hologram created by advanced alien species.



What if everything you have ever done or will do is simply the product of a highly-advanced computer code? Every relationship, every sentiment, every memory could have been generated by banks of supercomputers.



This was the intriguing theory first proposed by Nick Bostrom, Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at Oxford University and founding Director of the Future of Humanity Institute and of the Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology within the Oxford Martin School, there are several scientists who subscribe to this theory.



MessageToEagle.com has previously reported on how Rich Terrile, director of the Centre for Evolutionary Computation and Automated Design at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory suggested our creator is a cosmic computer programmer.



This would imply that we are living in a holographic world and everything around us, including ourselves is not “real”. Rich Terrile, still stands by his opinion. “Right now the fastest NASA supercomputers are cranking away at about double the speed of the human brain,” the NASA scientist told Vice.



“If you make a simple calculation using Moore’s Law [which roughly claims computers double in power every two years], you’ll find that these supercomputers, inside of a decade, will have the ability to compute an entire human lifetime of 80 years – including every thought ever conceived during that lifetime – in the span of a month.



“In quantum mechanics, particles do not have a definite state unless they’re being observed.



“Many theorists have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how you explain this.



“One explanation is that we’re living within a simulation, seeing what we need to see when we need to see it.

The funny thing is fundamentally by his intention and assuming that physics only works the ways in which this hypothesis respects it, then it's the only logical out come.

I suspect this is a big joke that dumbass and stoners are taking seriously. Because if you don't see the enormous logical qualifier holding the argument together, then you can't understand why this seems sarcastic in the first place. If it is a serious hypothesys then yes, he may need to lay off the bong.
