Yet more evidence emerges that our universe is a grand simulation created by an intelligent designer

(NaturalNews) There's a lot of buzz in the news about
a new scientific study that statistically supports the idea that our known
universe is actually a grand computer simulation. This is mainstream science,
and the idea isn't a whacky as you might first suppose. I've actually written
about this several times in articles about consciousness and the nature of
reality. This news, by the way, also supports the idea of a Creator who brought
this universe -- and everything in it -- into existence by design.
A new scientific paper published in arXiv and
co-authored by Silas Beane from the University of Bonn reveals strong
statistical evidence that our reality is, indeed, a grand computer simulation.
The title of the paper is Constraints on the Universe as a Numerical
Simulation.
Here's what it means in layman's terms
Here's the super easy way to understand all this. Your
computer display screen has a finite number of pixels available, and this is
called the "screen resolution" such as 1920 x 1440. This means there
are 1920 pixels across and 1440 pixels vertically.
Everything you see on your computer screen must be
drawn and depicted using these pixels, and nothing can be displayed that's only
half a pixel. For example, you can't draw a vertical line on the screen that
exists between the pixels that are hard-wired into the screen resolution.
Everything you view on the monitor -- a computer game, a website, even a video
-- is essentially transposed onto the "lattice" of pixels that exist
in your hardware.
Your hardware, in effect, has a hard-wired
"resolution limit" which defines the smallest size of any object that
can be depicted on the screen.
Now, zoom out to the "real" world in which
we live. Here in the real world, we think that there are no pixels and that we
can move fluidly to any location we wish. We are not digitized being, we think;
we're analog beings living in a fluid world without the pixelation of a
computer screen, right?
Not so fast. As it turns out, our "reality"
is also pixelated, just at a very fine resolution. This study out of Bonn
revealed that the energy level of cosmic rays "snaps to" the
"resolution" of the universe in which we live. The very laws of electromagnetic
radiation, in other words, are confined by the resolution of the
three-dimensional simulation we call a "universe."
The existence of this construct, if proven, also
proves intelligent design by a conscious Creator who built the universe to begin
with. This is the upshot of this scientific discovery that most scientists
refuse to acknowledge. But the conclusion is inescapable: If our universe is a
carefully-constructed simulation, then by definition there must have been a
purpose behind its construction as well as a Creator who built it.
For the record, my personal belief is that the Creator
set all the physical constants in the universe and then initiated the so-called
"Big Bang" and let things play out from there. I do not believe our
Creator "tinkers" with the universe at a micro level on a day-to-day
basis. But I do believe there very well may have been individuals throughout
history who found ways to "bend the rules" of the Matrix ever so
slightly and thereby perform the very kind of miracles we see described in
ancient texts.
"The structure of the underlying lattice"
The authors of this new paper describe their
conclusion as following: "The numerical simulation scenario could reveal
itself in the distributions of the highest energy cosmic rays exhibiting a
degree of rotational symmetry breaking that reflects the structure of the
underlying lattice."
This "underlying lattice" is what I'm
describing as a "resolution" of our physical simulation.
There's other evidence of this, too: Plank's Constant,
for example, is by itself yet more evidence that the physical universe in which
we live is quantized to a particular resolution. In fact, even light behaves in
a quantized manner, which is why "light packets" are called quanta.
Our universe, it turns out, is digital, not analog.
Heck, even your DNA is digital, not analog. You are a digitized physical being
imbued with a non-material consciousness that transcends this physical
simulation. Realizing this is a lot like taking the red pill in The Matrix and
being shown that the universe you thought was real is actually just a grand
computer simulation.
Of course, once you grasp that we are living in a
grand simulation, the next obvious question is: Who built it?
Intelligent Design
One obvious answer is that we built it! Not
"we" the humans here on Earth, but rather the "we" which is
a highly advanced civilization of seemingly supernatural beings with
incomprehensibly powerful technology. We collectively built the simulation, the
theory goes, and then agreed to selectively insert our consciousness into the
simulation in order to have a "human life experience" on this planet.
But that's only one possibility from all this.
Another possible answer is that HE built it. Who is
He? He is God, our Creator. He is a consciousness with literal God-like powers
who is omnipresent and all-powerful. He created our universe (i.e. designed and
then launched the simulation) while providing a mechanism for free will consciousness
to "wake up" inside the simulation in the bodies of newly-born
beings. Upon death in the simulation, your consciousness leaves the simulation
and returns to its source, which is the actual reality that transcends this
one. This is possibly why people who have survived near-death experiences
consistently report their experience as being a "hyper reality" that
feels like it is "a thousand times more real than life on Earth."
For the record, I have always believed in a
supernatural Creator of our universe; our God. I also believe -- and have good
evidence -- that God is an all-loving being and that the overriding purpose of
our existence in this universe is to express our free will and thereby have a
self-aware experience which advances our knowledge of who we are. More details
on this below...
What would be the purpose of intelligently designing a
grand computer simulation?
If our universe was consciously created, then it must
have been created for a purpose. In his book Proof of Heaven, near-death survivor
Dr. Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon, describes the purpose in great detail on
page 48 of his book:
Through the Orb, [God] told me that there is not one
universe but many -- in fact, more than I could conceive -- but that love lay
at the center of them all. Evil was present in all the other universes as well,
but only in the tiniest trace amounts. Evil was necessary because without it
free will was impossible, and without free will there could be no growth -- no
forward movement, no chance for us to become what God longed for us to be.
Horrible and all-powerful as evil sometimes seemed to be in a world like ours,
in the larger picture love was overwhelmingly dominant, and it would ultimately
be triumphant.
The primary purpose of life in this realm, it seems,
is to experience personal growth and learn how to overcome Evil. This explains
why we all seem to be surrounded by so much evil on a day-to-day basis. We are
drowning in evil precisely because our souls chose to be here and learn how to
defeat it.
At the end of our Earthly lives, we are then judged on
our performance. As I wrote in a previous article:
Upon our death, we are judged by a higher power, and
that judgment takes into account our performance in these areas. Did we achieve
a measure of self-awareness? Did we work to overcome evil? Did we express love
and compassion and help uplift others with knowledge and awareness?
As you've probably already figured out, the vast
majority of humans fail these tests. They die as bitter, selfish, substance-addicted,
greed-driven minions of evil who mistakenly thought they were winning the game
of life while, in reality, they were losing the far more important test of the
Creator.
Looking around at our fellow human beings, you can't
help but agree with my assessment that nearly everyone is failing the test. If
we are here to overcome and resist evil, very few people are scoring very many
points at all.
Having your consciousness attached to a human
experience in this world seems to be the universal equivalent of "being
thrown in the deep end" of Good vs. Evil. Making matters even more
difficult, none of us is granted any sort of memory of why we are here and what
we're supposed to do. We simply wake up as a newborn, and we have to figure
things out for ourselves -- a challenge that often takes a lifetime. In fact,
the achievement of "enlightenment" in a human lifetime is quite a
remarkable feat by any measure.
What this means for your life
So what does all this mean in terms of the way you
live your life here on Earth? If you believe the universe really is a grand
simulation created by a higher power, then it forces you to rethink your
philosophy on the purpose of life.
Some might say this is the perfect excuse to resort to
selfish hedonism and turn your entire life into one vast entertainment parade.
But that seems to be the wrong conclusion from all this, precisely because it
ignores the importance of personal growth. I do not believe our universe is a
childish playground; I believe it is a serious test of spiritual strength. You
may or may not agree with all my points, but here's my philosophy on what to do
with this realization:
#1) Don't chase material things that aren't even real
in the first place. You are living in a simulation that's as un-real as an old
8-bit Atari computer game. Your focus on trying to collect money and wealth in
this world is about as foolish as trying to collect gold coins in a
role-playing computer game.
#2) Live your life to WIN the simulation.
"Winning" means persistently working to defeat evil, demonstrate love
and help awaken others. Rack up your "karma" points, so to speak.
Because that's how you will be judged once your earthly life comes to an end.
#3) Know that your behavior is being watched, recorded
and judged. There are ultimately no secrets. You will, in time, face judgment
on all your actions, and it's even possible that an entire civilization of
advanced Creators will review your actions with you. (This is what is often
described by those who survive NDEs.) Your actions in this simulation are
recorded on your soul for eternity, so make them count. Don't do anything your
soul would feel ashamed of.
#4) Know that death is not final. What matters far
more than staying alive on this planet is living your life with principle. Your
decisions (ethics) survive your human life! I would rather die defending
principles of love and enlightenment than compromise those principles to save
my own skin in this simulation. Life is fleeting, but the record of your morals
and behavior lasts forever. If all this starts to sound a little Biblical,
that's because the Bible is, I believe, based in part on information provided
to us by the Creator of our grand simulation.
#5) Realize that your consciousness is eternal and you
almost certainly "agreed" to come here and experience this life as a
spiritual test. With that in mind, do your best to achieve success within the
test by demonstrating behavior based in high spiritual principles.
Why I'm not afraid to tell the truth
Once you grasp all this, you realize why I am not
afraid to speak my mind and report the truth here on Natural News. People often
ask me, "Aren't you afraid of being killed?" While I do take tactical
precautions to avoid being prematurely removed from this simulation, I
simultaneously realize that there is ultimately nothing to be afraid of in this
simulated world.
What's to be afraid of, really? Most of the people who
claim to have power in this world will be reduced to Hellish minions after
their death. If you look at truly evil people in this world, you realize that
those people have already doomed their souls in the real world beyond this one.
They will suffer from the Hell they have brought upon themselves by living
lives of deception. We who tell the truth are spiritual giants compared to
those who gain false power through deception.
That's why never selling out is an absolutely must if
you hope to pass the spiritual test of life. If you sell out to corporate
interests or an evil agenda that suppresses freedom or health, you quite
literally sell out your own soul far beyond this one lifetime. The phrase
"eternal damnation" comes to mind...
On the issue of gun rights, by the way, all this helps
explain why self defense is a divine right. We all deserve the right to prevent
our souls from being prematurely removed from the simulation (i.e. being
killed). Guns are simply tools that can help us defend our physical bodies so
that our spiritual bodies can continue with their intended experiences in this
reality. This is why those of high spirituality have traditionally carried
swords and other weapons of self defense. Even Jesus recommend people carry
swords for protection, even as they pursue spiritual awakening.
A gun defends the body so that the spirit can do its
work, in other words. But that's only true if the use of gun is reserved for
self defense only. To use a gun to commit unjustified violence against
innocents is obviously a terrible sin and a catastrophic spiritual failure.
Conclusion: Has science proven the existence of God?
If all this science is true, it would mean that
science has proven the existence of a Creator (as well as intelligent design).
This is certainly not the intention of science, as
much of modern-day science seems to be dead-set against the idea of intelligent
design. Yet even if the entire universe can be traced back to the Big Bang and
Inflation Theory (with Inflatons) there is still the lingering question of
"Who or what initiated the Big Bang?"
If you really look deeply into the laws of physics, by
the way, you will discover that the so-called universal constants that drive
the underlying mechanics and energies of our universe have been intricately
fine-tuned precisely to give rise to a universe that can support biological
life. Change one of these constants just slightly and stars don't form. Change
another constant and the universe flings itself apart before life can form on
any planets. These are at least six physical constants that appear to have been
delicately tuned, selected or somehow "set" sort of like a universal
control panel with properties and parameters.
There's an interesting book on this subject by science
writer Paul Davies, by the way. It's called The Goldilocks Enigma: Why Is the
Universe Just Right for Life? I've read most of it and recommend the book to
other seekers who are looking for the deepest answers about the nature of
reality and how it all came to be.
If you're interested in my own views on all this, read
my article on The Higgs boson "God particle".
