Do we live in a simulation?

Apparently there is computer code inside the fabric of space according to some string theorists.

Quote:

"Doubly-even self-dual linear binary error-correcting block code," first invented by Claude Shannon in the 1940's, has been discovered embedded WITHIN the equations of superstring theory!

Why does nature have this? What errors does it need to correct? What is an 'error' for nature? More importantly what is the explanation for this freakish discovery? Your guess is as good as mine.

lol we've covered this thoroughly

I wish we did. I would CMD + Z myself out of so many situations

yes, amost definitely. now pretty much beyond doubt according to stuff i've read. whether it makes a difference to anything is another matter.

sometimes when i get crazy deja vu (which happens often) I honestly wonder.

yes

it doesn't matter if we do or not. the answer has no bearing on anything, and we can't do anything about it if we do.

I thought you were gonna say Jumanji in which case I was going to agree with you, I think we live in Jumanji.

Go back and rewatch the Matrix, have you learnt nothing damnit

i learnt the wachowskis shouldn't be allowed make sequels

If its proved then could it not unite man?

extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

It would explain why I have a green diamond floating above my head.

i reckon all IT-dudes are in on it and you want us to believe we can't do anything about it

You've got the right idea.

*starts writing code to break the code from within the code*

*assplodes*

The code is an error correcting checksum, so if this true, the string functions as a sort of compiler that converts binary data into reality. Does that necessarily mean we're living in a simulation though (if this indeed true)
