Exploring the virtual reality conjecture Brian Whitworth Introduction Computers today simulate entire worlds‚ with their own time‚ space and objects‚ but that our world could be so is normally a topic of science fiction‚ not physics. Yet that the world is illusory has a long history. In Buddhism‚ the world expresses the Universal Mind‚ in Hinduism it is Maya‚ the illusion of "God’s play”‚ and to Plato it was just shadows flickering on a wall1. That the world is digital is also not new‚ as to

Most Scientist believe that god doesn’t exists due to the creation of the earth‚ scientist think the universe was created by the big bang theory and there is scientific evidence of this being true‚ they believe that in big Bang theory ‚ a giant swirling cloud of rock and dust merged. Eventually‚ the space particles in this cloud began clumping up together‚ until our universe was created. This is believed because valid pieces

Earth seems finely tuned so we can exist. It’s the perfect distance from the sun for mild temperatures and liquid water‚ it has a protective giant‚ Jupiter‚ nearby to keep rogue asteroids from hitting us - all key requirements for intelligent life to evolve. But the Earth is not fine-tuned. The galaxy is teeming with at least 100 billion planets. By chance alone‚ there will be at least one fit for intelligent life. In a multiverse teeming with universes‚ there will be at least one that’s suited to

The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Perhaps the most conclusive (and certainly among the most carefully examined) piece of evidence for the Big Bang is the existence of an isotropic radiation bath that permeates the entire Universe known as the "cosmic microwave background" (CMB). The word "isotropic" means the same in all directions; the degree of anisotropy of the CMB is about one part in a thousand. In 1965‚ two young radio astronomers‚ Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson‚ almost accidentally

the first 379‚000 years (redshift z = 1089) after the Big Bang‚ the matter of the universe consisted primarily of free protons‚ electrons and photons. After the matter had cooled and spread out‚ these particles combined to form hydrogen and allowed the photons to freely travel without interacting with free electrons‚ forming what we know of today as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Between 150 million and 1 billion years after the Big Bang (6 < z < 20)‚ structures such as stars‚ galaxies and

Greene explains that though the Big Bang theory explains how the universe evolved‚ it fails to explain what actually powered the Bang. How does Greene say the Big Bang was powered and based on this theory‚ discuss what this means regarding the possible existence of other universes? He says that inflatinary cosmology found a type of fuel that would generate

What is the "Cosmological Argument" for God’s existence? Be sure to make the premises and conclusion clear. Discuss what you take to be the strongest objection to this argument‚ and explain why you think it succeeds or fails. The cosmological argument for God’s existence differs from both the scriptural and ontological arguments in the way in which humans created it. Rather than looking at logical arguments or religious texts‚ the cosmological argument was derived because of humanity’s ability

Behavior Modification Project Title: Behavior modification using a pre- and post-intervention technique. Objective: To enhance students’ understanding of behavior modification and learning principles through application of those principles. Instructions to students: You will form groups of 5/6 people. You will decide on a particular behavior that you have observed around you (in the institute‚ classrooms‚ hostels‚ homes‚ or on the streets) that you might want to change using behavior modification

There have been many arguments and philosophical beliefs of the existence of god. For many centuries‚ there have been many attempts by many philosophers to prove the existence of God. Many philosophers’ arguments for the existence of God come in many different evidence like using science‚ personal experience‚ history and philosophy. Looking at the philosopher’s point of view‚ I have come across two arguments that explain the existence of god which is the cosmological and ontological argument. As

Millennials are the largest and most educated generation the world has seen so far‚ but they are labeled as the “laziest” due to harsh stereotypes and misconceptions from the generation before. Stereotypes generalize groups of people based off the actions or appearances of a small percentage of those in the group. Stereotypes may also be formed from the way the group used to be in the past‚ but not in recent times. However‚ misconceptions are views that have no factual evidence or basis to be drawn
