General Science Discussion Thread!

No, thats not what happened. If it was we'd all be robots.

How do you know we're the first form of robots? Huh? And I'm serious, we don't know infact there was an article.

Even they physicists believe the universe may be a simulation or program of some sort.

That's not the impression I got. Sounded more like a tech-based analogy for Deism.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

Well, if you view all decisions ever made by anyone to simply be chemical reactions in the brain dictating decisions...

...we kind of are robots.

 

[DragonFreak]

Naw, humans are just animals with a false sense of intelligence.

 

[Anton]

So you took a Huffington Post article saying that some scientists are merely testing a philosophical thought experiment as a complete fact? And even if the tests are a success the article even says that they're not really confirmation of much of anything? It looks more like clickbait than actual information. You should stick to primary resources before taking your Computer Science 101 analogy as reality.

I still believe god is a programmer. Despite my Christian faith

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

We're not robots. Nor are we created by a "programmer". But that's my belief too.

You believe we're created by god like programmers or your saying you don't believe that?

Did you know that I was made with an X and Y chromosome?

We're atheist. We believe in no god.

I wuz created with two X's :]

Well theres gotta be something out there. NOTHING turns out this perfectly without something guiding it.

are you sure? have you been tested? extra y chromosomes rarely cause any detectable phenotypical problems in men, and so men carrying two ys are all over the place without even knowing what they are. women with y chromosomes whose bodies don't respond to androgens and so develop into female bodies also exist and are more common than people think

Well, I saw my karyotype before; no extra chromosome there.

Are you trying to convince me of something I strongly don't believe in?

Perhaps it's the other way around; we only exist here because the conditions are perfect, and simple probability states that another place perfect for life could exist elsewhere?

is that illegal or something

It's not going to change anything

 

[Iggy Koopa Jr]

Using God as an argument rarely succedes, because half the audience doesn't even believe in it.

That's exactly how I see it.

Yeah, right.

 

[Iggy Koopa Jr]

In that case, what guided this something who guided us?

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Nothing... it just works.

 

[Lolcrawler]

Did you know that I was made with an X and Y chromosome?

That's what Pokemon X and Y mean.
X & Y chromosomes

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Yet the two games have barely any relation to X and Y chromosomes.

There is also a Z chromosome, which I believe chickens are one creature that has it.

 

[Mario4Ever]

There's also a W chromosome. Certain species of fish, insects, and birds have it. Females of these species have one Z and one W chromosome, while males have two Z chromosomes, at least according to the eighth edition (2009) of Mosby's Medical Dictionary.

 

[Ray Trace]

In that case, what guided this something who guided us?

Nothing, chances and probability brought us here. We're one among a mind-boggling amount of worlds in this universe anyway.

And besides, if there were slightly different rules, it would be simply another world, not vast emptiness. Life as we know it is guided by certain principles, but life can exist in other environments as well.
