so is it possible for us to find out the purpose of our simulate
purpose of our simulate
purpose of our simulate even if it’s just for entertainment is
even if it’s just for entertainment is
even if it’s just for entertainment is it possible and what if the old
it possible and what if the old
it possible and what if the old religions were right
religions were right
religions were right because every simulation has a creator
because every simulation has a creator
because every simulation has a creator or maybe a team of creators or just
or maybe a team of creators or just
or maybe a team of creators or just typing away on their computers would it
typing away on their computers would it
typing away on their computers would it be possible to talk to our creator or
be possible to talk to our creator or
be possible to talk to our creator or creators would it be possible to find
creators would it be possible to find
creators would it be possible to find out more about their world we talked a
out more about their world we talked a
out more about their world we talked a lot today about physics and this is
lot today about physics and this is
lot today about physics and this is really interesting physics has this idea
really interesting physics has this idea
really interesting physics has this idea called the Big Bang where everything
called the Big Bang where everything
called the Big Bang where everything that we know came out of nothing all the

just appeared there’s a lot of money
just appeared there’s a lot of money going into studying the very first
going into studying the very first
going into studying the very first moments of the Big Bang the Large Hadron
moments of the Big Bang the Large Hadron
moments of the Big Bang the Large Hadron Collider a simulation theory could pause
Collider a simulation theory could pause
Collider a simulation theory could pause it that the energy comes from outside of
it that the energy comes from outside of
it that the energy comes from outside of our system just like a television being
our system just like a television being
our system just like a television being turned on and we talked a little bit
turned on and we talked a little bit
turned on and we talked a little bit about quantum mechanics this really
about quantum mechanics this really
about quantum mechanics this really weird phenomenon that we observe with
weird phenomenon that we observe with
weird phenomenon that we observe with cells it’s as if two or three different
cells it’s as if two or three different
cells it’s as if two or three different programmers worked on the same project
programmers worked on the same project
programmers worked on the same project and use different code what are the
and use different code what are the
and use different code what are the limits of our simulation what can we do
limits of our simulation what can we do
limits of our simulation what can we do if we know the rules of our simulation
if we know the rules of our simulation
if we know the rules of our simulation we can build better technology we can
we can build better technology we can
we can build better technology we can improve our lives we can travel to
improve our lives we can travel to
improve our lives we can travel to through the cosmos are there other

through the cosmos are there other simulations can we go outside of our
simulations can we go outside of our
simulations can we go outside of our simulation can we visit the simulation
simulation can we visit the simulation
simulation can we visit the simulation of our Creator and these are all
of our Creator and these are all
of our Creator and these are all interesting philosophical questions
interesting philosophical questions
interesting philosophical questions might not be interesting for you but I
might not be interesting for you but I
might not be interesting for you but I will leave you with one final thought as
will leave you with one final thought as
will leave you with one final thought as we start to create our own simulations
we start to create our own simulations
we start to create our own simulations for whatever reason even if we just want
for whatever reason even if we just want
for whatever reason even if we just want to build a family and see what the kids
to build a family and see what the kids
to build a family and see what the kids look like or even maybe we want to test
look like or even maybe we want to test
look like or even maybe we want to test out this theory maybe we can build a
out this theory maybe we can build a
out this theory maybe we can build a program that will allow us to test if

program that will allow us to test if our reality is a simulation but as we
our reality is a simulation but as we
our reality is a simulation but as we start building these simulations start
start building these simulations start
start building these simulations start building more advanced artificial
building more advanced artificial
building more advanced artificial intelligence in our likeness and our
