Simulation Hypothesis: Birth of the Singularity

Description

Quantum physics radically changes the worldview, destroys the usual picture of the world and the philosophical concepts associated with it. Science is increasingly reminiscent of science fiction, in which the impossible becomes possible: time flows in different directions, matter dissolves in a vacuum, communications beyond the speed of light are realized, and much more. The phenomenal nature of the results of physical experiments at the micro- and macrolevels of cognition inevitably suggests the idea of the possible virtuality of the surrounding reality. The simulation hypothesis is one of the most consistent models of the universe, the singularity points of which becomes the point of a phase transition to a new interpretation of reality.

Abstract (Russian)

Квантовая физика кардинально меняет мировоззрение, разрушает привычную картину мира и связанные с ней философские концепции. Наука все больше напоминает научную фантастику, в которой невозможное становится возможным: время течёт в разные стороны, материя растворяется в вакууме, реализуются коммуникации за пределами скорости света и многое другое. Феноменальность результатов физических экспериментов на микро- и макроуровнях познания неизбежно наталкивает на мысль о возможной виртуальности окружающей реальности. Гипотеза симуляции является одной из самых непротиворечивых моделей мироздания, точка сингулярности которой становится точкой фазового перехода к новой интерпретации реальности.
