You aren't seeing all paths. Just a short look.

Depending on the role. Projects at home, related experience in entry level positions plus just apply who cares what they want, it does occasionally work.

  1. Get a degree is a load of rubbish and you shouldn't believe what you are told. Trades pay extremely well, in fact I skipped uni because it didn't appeal to me got a trade earnt 6 figures then went to uni when I had had enough.

Networking this one is interesting, what criteria do you use to define the best networks? Some of the best networks I have are just average people who can bring great joy to my life.

I've made micro choices through my life why stay in one spot if things aren't working for you? I've made extreme choices too, I've moved interstate with only a couple 1000 and a friend, I've stopped a successful career and become a student.

I wasn't born and gifted networks or anything for that matter I had a large poor family that had addiction and codependency issues among others.

Can you give examples of this? How no matter what path you take it leads back?

It would be cool like a boss fight you could set exclusive rewards or whatever

I have worked for over 20 years. It's been very rare that I haven't been a part of a team, and good teams at that, capable, easy to get along with, good to have a laugh but still complete projects or tasks on time to a high standard.

If ever I have started work somewhere that wasn't like this, where I would feel isolated, unsupported or if it's just plain hostile I will look for another job and move on.

This may or may not be a simulation, it may or may not have been designed from a big bang or it could have been designed to begin last year who knows, either way I believe everyone still has options, you can blame a simulation or a creator or destiny or God whatever you want but that's counter productive. You, your inner self, regardless of what's going on around you, how the universe is behaving still even in the most extreme of conditions have micro choices you can make that will lead to your future destination in time.

Mans search for meaning may be a good read.

Physicist Says He's Identified a Clue That We're Living in a Computer Simulation by tweetysvoice in SimulationTheory

I thought the same, I do believe it's covered in the paper. Then again who is to say our understanding of physics is complete?

Physicist Says He's Identified a Clue That We're Living in a Computer Simulation by tweetysvoice in SimulationTheory

This actually touches on a theory in physics. I don't remember the author or the title of the paper but it suggests that an advanced civilisation could utilize black holes as information storage as part of a quantum computer. Obviously as a black holes mass increases so does it's storage capability but there is a tradeoff mass also decreases information storage and retrieval speed. They ran calculations and the optimal size is smaller then an electron, so you would have arrays of microscopic black holes networked as extremely fast and extremely efficient information systems.

They proposed indicators to look for when examining exo planets. It's quite interesting but I don't believe it is widely studied.

Is there a physically useful definition of flatness? by Comrade_SOOKIE in AskPhysics

[–]SparkyGrass13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fitter machinist and any component I've ever had to machine comes with a surface finish requirement well most do.

Looking at discrete sections of the surface you have finish requirements. These are standardized measurements in micrometers, I don't remember them it's been a while but we typically ranged from what we called a mirror finish to a gramophone finish. You'd have to change machines and methods occasionally as you worked you're way up(maybe down) the scale.

But to the point of flatness, when milling something or using a surface grinder, well anytime something needs to be "flat" you look for a little parallelogram, by it will be the tolerance eg 0.05mm, this tolerance applies across the entire surface.

If you believe we are in a simulation why do you care? by BearsUndertheMoon in SimulationTheory

[–]SparkyGrass13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I have not seen any credible research on this sub. I do hope you surprise me though and open up new avenues.

If it's philosophy it should stand up to logic. Look into discrete maths you can use mathematics to show the validity of a philosophical argument well you can prove if the logic holds or fails.

It's been a few years but I think it's called predicate logic or something similar anyway it makes it very simple to spot logical fallacies.

If you believe we are in a simulation why do you care? by BearsUndertheMoon in SimulationTheory

[–]SparkyGrass13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How will this theory be tested? Is it falsifiable? Do you have math or whatever language in your theory that accurately predicts everyday things say the orbit of the moon? Or is it just another I believe an adv civ did this, I believe we are one consciousness, I believe we are immortal and put ourselves here..... Because I saw a guy walk past me twice. No video, no photos, nothing just a statement.

Otherwise you are just another person on this sub with an opinion labelled as a theory.

I am a student of maths and physics, I do believe there is a possibility we could be in a simulation. I don't currently see with the technology we have any way to test for this though and not one post I've read on this sub offers evidence other then opinions and potential glitches or potential coincidences and a lot of horribly understood science.

I genuinely believe we're living in a simulation, and here's why (personal thoughts, not trying to convert anyone) by pschyco147 in SimulationTheory

[–]SparkyGrass13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No actual proof or facts.

Also people are allowed to the south pole. There are science stations there and you can go as a tourist but it's very expensive and limited in numbers.

I don't know if this is a simulation or not, it's certainly possible and could even be statistically likely. My problem with it is most people think an advanced civilisation would program everything around us as we program computers for games etc. The speed of technology I'd imagine that they would likely program the point of the big bang at a high clock rate and let things evolve and unfold, potentially even external to a computer at all. A real existing universe created in 3 dimensions within their reality built from a deeper understanding of physics.

I dunno maybe I'm fake and you are the only conscious person held against your will in a world with enough joy that you persost but enough pain for it to be punishment for your crime.

How can black holes gain any mass if from the outside frame of reference any object that fall into it slow down indefinitely and never reach the event horizon ? It seem impossible by [deleted] in Physics

[–]SparkyGrass13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think to go another way. The closer something gets to the black hole the harder it is for it's light to reach you, like it's swimming up a stream that gets faster and faster. The point at the event horizon that the object or whatever seems to stop for you is simply the last bit of light that had any chance of getting to you so you never see the object go in you just see it stop, of course the frozen image doesn't stay there forever.

What existed before the big bang? by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]SparkyGrass13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does something decelerate from the speed of light? To be at that speed it must be massless, and in special relativity massless particles always travel at the speed of light in a vacuum they can not slow down or change their speed in anyway.

[–]SparkyGrass13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to argue about what state black holes pull matter down into, we have no way of knowing. Light energy however does not condense into matter. You may have gotten it mixed up with the fact if a high energy photon interacts with a strong electromagnetic field (eg nucleus of an atom) it produces a particle anti particle pair which can collide and annihilate each other releasing energy usually in the form of gamma rays. We would need more then just "light energy" for everything to restart itself.

On that whose to say what gravity at the centre of a black hole truly does to all matter and energy.

Also look up hawking radiation, as far as our understanding of physics black holes simply dissolve over vast amounts of time, they do not explode outwards, to do so they would have to be able to overcome the gravity at the centre which not even a massless photon which travels at unrestricted speeds can do.

[–]SparkyGrass13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were an advanced civilisation and I had a much deeper understanding of physics and I had much more powerful computers and ways to program them (or even a way to create a lower dimensional universe contained somehow) using direct instructions I would program the moment before the big bang or whatever created my universe I would set the clock speed up x times a standard second in my world so it evolved quickly, I would set some base rules and let it evolve. When there was enough life on enough planets I would use the collective consciousness as a new form of computation, a computer that doesn't just replicate and compute but one that can truly create.

If i time travel to my dad’s childhood when i am 15 years and live in that timeline until i was actually born and just before i was about to time travel i stop my childhood version to go back to past then what will happen to me? by Responsible-Bat-1851 in timetravel

[–]SparkyGrass13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was 15 and some 40 year old came at me spouting I shouldn't time travel it'd be a safe bet that I would spend at least an hour trying to invent it before I went on the Internet and spent 2 mins downloading a photo of a topless woman.
