Simulation Hypothesis - Part II

Simulation Hypothesis and the Development of Artificial Intelligence An infinite loop of realities or simulations Abstract:- In continuation of the first article , this article is dedicated to a different aspect of the simulation hypothesis. This article focuses on two aspects, one assumption that the simulation hypothesis is true and the development of artificial intelligence in this so-called 'reality'. Artificial intelligence, its development and all the possibilities arising from its development have become an indispensable part of any discussion on the future of humanity and technology. It becomes awe-inspiring when the development of AI is mixed up with consciousness. This looks like the simulation hypothesis all over again. In this article, we will look at some of the questions that arise from this premise. I. Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the latest developments of technology and it has already become an integral part of human evolution. An...

Simulation Hypothesis - Part I

Simulation Hypothesis as Perceived by a Hindu A comparison with the ancient Hindu philosophy of 'Advaita' Abstract:- Since time immemorial humans have pondered on one fundamental question, 'who are we?'. Over time, this question has then branched into many offshoots from 'why do we exist' to 'are we alone?'. But, the essence of the human inquisitiveness can be traced back to the realisation of self-consciousness and the one fundamental question.

In the last few years scientists, philosophers and visionaries have given serious thought to the idea of one of the possible solutions to the fundamental question and that is if this universe or reality is a simulation of some kind?

Introduction of the Blog and the Blogger Hello readers,  I am a curious cucumber who likes to question so many things around me through a lens of inquisition. I am starting this blog to share my take on some of the most bewildering questions. It is difficult to put a theme to what will be the subjects of this blog. But, if pressed hard, I would say the subjects of the questions would mostly be lurking on the extreme edges of mainstream science. This will include but not limited to, UFOs (or UAPs), Cryptids, Simulation Hypothesis, AI so on and so forth. These are the subjects which get my motor running and the creative juices flowing. This blog is my journey through the uncharted territories of science, philosophy and the questions about our very existence. In light of this, I would like to request you my reader friends to keep a clean slate and expect nothing. The only thing you can expect is the unexpected! After speaking about the subjects, it is only logical to provide s...
