>new theory
None of their ideas are new. Solipsism and the logical structure surrounding all of its variants has been created dozens of times since ancient times. They're basically children who have found themselves as the priest class of their newly formed religion, and they're playing with the toys available.

Even if we do in fact live in a simulation, it doesn't really mean anything, unless there are easters eggs and cheat codes.

It proves hard determinism and we have no free will

>>12548081
>It proves hard determinism
What does and how?

>>12548081
those are already proven dingus

The "theory" has existed long before this chink or anyone else in the last millennium ever discussed it. Only reason it wasn't widely known is because most people were too blind/retarded to perceive it before video games
There is nothing new under the sun

>>12547970
This. Does he really thit simulation theory is new?

Michio Kaku made a fundamental and significant advance in physics, he created light-cone string field theory, following Mandelstam's light-cone formulation of string theory, along with Kikkawa. This contribution was central, because it was the first definition of string theory which was Hamiltonian, meaning it could tell you a detailed story of how strings split and join in space time. It also allowed you to produce a detailed description of the Hilbert space of string theory which is not a scattering space.

The thing about physics is that it has become annoyingly politicized, with two branches--- the technical branch which produces all the results, and the popularization branch which gets all the political clout. This division is extremely unfortunate, but it is a byproduct of the fact that nobody in the general public reads the technical literature. So people with immense technical clout, like Georgio Parisi, are incomparably less politically relevant than those with popular books, like Brian Greene.

This is a plea to the general public: please read the technical literature. I mean it. Please read it. It is a precious production of our culture, it is the main thing we will be leaving to future generations. The 20th century physics literature is our Shakespeare, it is our Homer, it is the thing that defines our cultural legacy to the largest extent. It is not acceptable to have this literature be the domain of an elite, it must be universally appreciated.

Under these circumstances, there will be no need for Michio Kaku to go around selling himself to mass media, he would have been appreciated for his technical contributions, without any need for him to become a publicity hound. But since we don't live in such a world, he has become a publicity hound. It is a bit of a shame, but it will never take away his earlier achievements.

gonna use that and get 5 chaos orbs then buy 20 tabula rasa's from noobs who don't know proper prizes

and sell for 1000% markup ofc

remind me of pic related

>>12548181
Lol
I’ve heard atheists say there is a programmer who created this universe simulation
So then I just say “is his name God?”

>Only reason it wasn't widely known is because most people were too blind/retarded to perceive it before video games
No, it's because most people have too much common sense to waste their time with solipsism.

>>12548149
String theory does not impact the lives of the general public in any way. There is absolutely no reason for the general public to waste the limited time they have in life reading tedious shit they wouldn't even understand. Get a fucking clue.

>>12548185
And so they remain clamped.

>>12548181
There is a difference between liking and beliving

>>12548257
I like and believe in God

>INB4 Billionaires will start saying "It's just a simulation kid, don't worry you're the real rich man in the "other world"!"
And retards will fall for it as they fell for religion

>>12548149
Get a load of this guy

>>12547958
c'mon man
he's a chink
can't do anything about it anymore

>>12548149
STRING THEORY IS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH

GET INTO E8 THEORY. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Exceptionally_Simple_Theory_of_Everything

>new
Interesting I figured out the ancients always knew this by simply reading the books they left that are 10's of thousands of years old

>>12548185
>the view or theory that the self is all that can be known to exist.
I don't see how believing in that the world is a simulation is solipsism.

>>12547958
no, but you can post this in /lit/
this board is weak on philosophy and logic

>OMG A SCIENCE ARTICLE I HAVE TO CLICK ON IT!!!

Nothing says science like trying to keep people from talking about ideas you don't like.

>noooooooooooooo

>>12548192
/sci/ shouldn't be held to the same standard as the general public you stupid brainlet. Fuck you, read the literature.

>>12547958
Based Kaku constantly rehashing the sim stuff just to keep coming on her show and talking to sexy mommy Kennedy.

>>12548184
They say it's not God since something about omnipotence or something.
