Not to get into some kind of crazy FEMA Camps conspiracy theory or anything, but scientists have discovered something that could theoretically be pretty fucking crazy.
Like I said, this is all theoretical and we have no real hope of proving (or disproving) it at this point, but it's fascinating to me nonetheless.
Some highly respected astrophysicists, including Neil deGrasse Tyson, are saying they have discovered self-error-correcting binary code in the equations of string theory, meaning it's possible our universe is a simulation created by a supercomputer whose technology is unfathomably ahead of ours.
It also means we could all be highly advanced artificial intelligence.
Here's a video about it. Whomever made it edited it pretty jankily, so skip ahead to 0:37 to hear scientists speak about it.

Of course, it's altogether possible that string theory itself is full of crap.

Right. You have to make a lot of leaps here, but that's part of the fun.

Well, if it's not real, than we should commence all the rape, pillage, genocide, self-mutilation and suffering we can get our hands on -- after all, why not?

In that case, I'm gonna go snort some coke and slap a bitch.

Well, our simulated universe is "real" in some form. If we are AI, we're incredibly self-aware AI, especially if we are figuring this out. It's just sexier to put it's not real in a subject line.

What's this string theory?
Is that like G-string theory? University profs study this? Sign me up for night-courses.

Edit edited by another mod. Labia is plural of labium, not labias.

Very nice. That would G-string theory photo art! No doubt a degree program.

Was there a labia in J7's g-string photo-art shot? Coulda fooled me. All I saw were G-strings and cheeks. Totally PG, or at least by this site's standards. :)
