If the simulation hypothesis is really correct, then how will the touch occur (the person touches the other person)? How will the whole process go? In modern physics, it is simply the interaction of atoms.

cosmik debris said:I think the arguments are that it isn't possible to tell if it's a simulations, they are not arguments for a simulation.

You need to think bigger. Or smaller, as it were.John2000 said:in simulation theory, will the touch be similar to a collision in computer games?

Indeed. It is no more or less plausible than "God made the universe and keeps it ticking".Quanundrum said:Sure, we've not yet discovered anything in the universe that is not computable, therefore one can extrapolate that one could maybe simulate a realistic physical universe. This however makes several assumptions: 1) That there'd be a motive for an EXTREMELY advanced Civilization to do such a thing 2) That it's physically possible and 3) That you are in one. It's lazy logic.
Good call!PeroK said:That said, if we're running on Windows, you'd imagine we would have experienced a reboot before now!
The Simulation Hypothesis proposes that our reality is actually a computer simulation created by a more advanced civilization. This idea was popularized by philosopher Nick Bostrom in 2003.
In a simulated reality, touch would occur through a simulated sense of touch. This could be achieved through advanced technology that stimulates the brain to create the sensation of touch, similar to how virtual reality works today.
At this time, the Simulation Hypothesis is still a philosophical and theoretical concept, so it cannot be proven or disproven. However, some scientists are exploring ways to test this hypothesis, such as looking for glitches in the simulation or searching for evidence of a creator.
If the Simulation Hypothesis is true, it would mean that our reality is not as real as we perceive it to be. It would also raise questions about the nature of our existence and the purpose of our simulated reality.
There are currently no known risks or dangers associated with the Simulation Hypothesis. However, if this hypothesis is proven to be true, it could have a significant impact on our understanding of reality and could potentially challenge our beliefs and values.
