What is the simulation argument?
The simulation argument, formulated by Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom, is a case that there may be a high probability that our world is a computer simulation operated by a more advanced "postuman" race. More precisely, the argument of the simulation claims that "at least one of the following designs is true: (1) the human species is most likely to disappear before reaching the" postuman "phase; (2) Any senting civilization is very unlikely that a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variation) will be very unlikely in computer simulation; (3). (Quoted from Bostrom's contribution representing the argument of the simulation, "you live in computer simulation?Racing that can be possible. In this way, it would be possible for these advanced plants to operate ancestors' simulations - ie simulations of their own ancestors or other primitive races sufficiently simple to simulate on their computers. If the total number of simulated worlds in this universe exceeds the number of real worlds, then it is rational to assume that we are correlated with this ratio, regardless of the "real" world.
Around the arrival of the 21st century, all computers in the world could collectively process around a billion billion operations per second (10^18 ops/s) and hold several petabytes (10^15 bytes) data. These values exponentially explode, with the doubling times of about a year for energy processing and several months for data.
Human brain, which is also a machine, has a quantifiable amount of compuspower andstorage of data. Cognitive scientists estimate the strength of the human brain processing at 100 trillion and 100,000 trillion per second, although some estimates are significantly lower. Tom Landauer, a scientist who specializes in human learning, has estimated that human memory is somewhere between 200 and 300 megabytes.
If the growth rate for computing power and data storage continues to grow exponentially, as was previously possible for extraterrestrial plants undergoing its own computational revolution, our type of control will have a completely massive amount of computing power and storage space. Due to the right programs, this space could be used to operate the past simulations in such a high definition that the residents of the simulation will become conscious beings with their own experience, plans, hopes, desires and faith systems. When it comes to a common development milestone among intelligent species in space, then there may be a mujedous one of them could be LTITEME simulation of ancestors and our world. Credible alternativeHypotheses include the possibility that all intelligent plants have disappeared before they reach the level of sophistication needed to operate ancestors, or that there is any universal reason why advanced races do not start the simulation of ancestors.
