mao mora og TRON ang ila gipasabot na movie.

wala na juy lain ma huna-hunaan ning manga tawo. nya ugma mao na mo end of the world kay ni crash man diay ang computer mao na patay tanan. hahaha

mga 2000 nga movie akong pasabot bro i think 2010 mana ang ang tron.. kalimot lang ko basta mu higda rato cla nya naay lights mu run nya mu adto dayun sila sa simulated nga world.. nga ang mga programs naka figure out nga simulation ra diay cla.. basta ang ending kay cla simulation rapud.. ang simulation naka himo ug laing simulation.

Is the universe just a big computer and all of us are living in one huge machine?

Physicists are trying to find out the answer by designing a new experiment to test if the universe itself is a computer, The Huffington Post reported.

"The theory basically goes that any civilization which could evolve to a 'post-human' stage would almost certainly learn to run simulations on the scale of a universe. And that given the size of reality - billions of worlds, around billions of suns - it is fairly likely that if this is possible, it has already happened," it said.

And if it has indeed happened, the report said it is likely we are somewhere in a chain of "simulations within simulations."

It added the theory that we are the first civilization, in the first universe - is "virtually absurd."

The Huffington Post also noted researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany had found evidence the Matrix was less than fiction.

Designing the test

Professor Martin Savage at the University of Washington said that while our own computer simulations can only model a universe on the scale of an atom's nucleus, there are already "signatures of resource constraints" which could tell us if larger models are possible.

Savage said computers used to build simulations perform "lattice quantum chromodynamics calculations."

This means they divide space into a four-dimensional grid and let researchers examine the force which binds subatomic particles together into neutrons and protons.

However, it also allows things to happen in the simulation, including the development of complex physical "signatures" that researchers do not program directly into the computer.

"In looking for these signatures, such as limitations on the energy held by cosmic rays, they hope to find similarities within our own universe," the Huffington Post said.

If such signatures do appear in both, it suggests we are inside a computer.

"If you make the simulations big enough, something like our universe should emerge," Savage was quoted as telling the University of Washington news service.

One of his students, Zohreh Davoudi, went further, asking, "Can you communicate with those other universes if they are running on the same platform?" — TJD, GMA News

if proven, mura lang diay ta ug sims. now i feel guilty torturing those sims in simcity.

... and if we are just a computer simulation, i want the cheat code for god mode, infinite health and infinite gold! ^_^

sakto2x!!!! aku pud! nahan ko ani nga cheats beh! eheheh

Matrix mana nga movie brod.

Kung reformaton ta ani, mao na cguro na ang end of the world..

Kuyawa sad nga theory. Murag og Wreck it ralph, kung maguba ang unit/console wala tang tanan. Basin kanang sun heatsink nah nga init na kaau!

naa nay cheat codes mga bai! ... unlimited money nako!
