There is a scientific theory that we are actually more likely to be living a simulation in either a lab or some advanced software or something like that. So in that scenario some nerd somewhere is our god.
Yer there is.
The speed of light is used as an example of coding.
I like the theory. It makes sense that there would be a speed limit in a simulation, processing power maxing out as per program at the speed of light.
Quantum entanglement of most particles in the universe also makes it seem as though there is some coding. Put simply if you manipulate one particle it manipulates another that is spookily connected to it (this is what entanglement means, literally tangled together in some unseen unknown connection, this effect exists no matter how great the distance between the entangled particles).
When you imagine that the stuff the James Web Telescope is seeing now billions of light years away, it is theoretically possible there are particles in that matter that you can manipulate if they have a paired connection with a particle here on earth, perhaps even in your own body eh.....
Lastly, the observer effect, until we interact with particles (e.g. seeing them etc) then they act as though they do not exists, they can be in simultaneous states (the cat in the box) again that sounds like reality is not really real.
Like putting on a virtual reality headset, that virtual world does not exist until you connect.
Stretching it a bit further, since the theories about dark matter and dark energy do not quite stack up to the physics....one could argue that the creator or owner of the simulation is still working out the glitches and that particles are in essence like pixels....not real as we understand them.
Excuse the rant, I do like quantum mechanics and cosmology, theoretical physics etc, I just do not understand it in the fashion I would like to.
If I am reincarnated I hope to come back as a theoretical physicist at the juncture that humanity crosses the event horizon in a craft capable of surviving a black hole, they sound like computer glitches in an ordered universe where the laws of standard physics (call it the rules of the simulation) break down.
