What are your thoughts on this..

Another proof that we live in a simulation

Double slit experiment is just the beginning. There are number of more crazy phenomenons, like quantum entaglement, and interesting interpretations all of whom seem valid. Some like Copenhagen and Many Worlds interpretation are stripping the notion of reality, unlike the pilot-wave theory. Its interesting. Personally I'm a firm believer in pilot-wave theory because it allowed first prototype of so called q-thrusters, and because the early beginnings of Copenhagen interpretation were based on some form of radicalism

It boils down to the claim that consciousness in certain ways creates and affects reality right? And in many ways is where science and religion bridge into one another. Like Idealism vs Materialism..where philosophy actually tends to do a lil better job at explaining how the world works and all the mystical metaphysics behind all of it.

So in another universe Mortimer is slim and Alberta is not autistic?

Also in another universe I did not post it.

Each time you post something on TA the universes split into one where you posted it and one where you didn't.

The same applies to any other action.

Yeah I think you got it right! Quantum Physics is now officially WEIRD af lol!

One big question one might want to ask regarding that is "Do you WANT it to be the case that you live in a simulation?". ..As for me I might not really mind it all that much lol.

The Copenhagen and its children theories - yes. However all those Germanic scientists were influenced by Far Eastern religious philosophy and in some cases literally tried (and almost succeeded) to stop the development of all alternative approaches of understanding of quantum physics. I think the Copenhagen interpretation was just a following the development of Germanic thought of that period in history, but academic circles kept the foundational orthodoxy in which is it being taught on university level today.

There seems to be a radical philosophical interrelation between the Copenhagen one and the great Irish philosopher George Berkeley's Idealism theory of metaphysics I think! Same with the various Eastern religions as you said and all their very core tenets/beliefs on being and existence. I believe what many make an attempt at, is in proving 'Idealism' by evidence of quantum mechanics. It's like in the philosophy of dreaming where anything is possible in a dream; in a dream you can make whatever was true to be false and whatever was false to be true..all physical laws and rules of nature wouldn't necessarily have to be followed or have any set order/mechanics, like if you were omnipotent in power.. Like you could all just be dreaming the whole thing up and you would never be able to rule that possibility out.

If consciousness creates reality, then there really are no material objects "out there" existing independently from mind. While the opposing "Materialism/Naive-Realism" worldview pretty much follows the founding principles of our world culture where most people go throughout their entire lives believing that an external world "out there" really exists independently outside of one's perception/observation.

As in Matrix theories, find some glitches or directly observed malicious hacking in the system so to say..then you'll know for sure you've been deceived by the computer program and that you're really in "The Matrix". Like awakening from the dream so to speak.
