If we believe that there is nothing supernatural about what causes consciousness and it’s merely the product of a very complex architecture in the human brain, we’ll be able to reproduce it. Quite frankly if we are not living in a simulation it is an extraordinarily unlikely circumstance Rich Terrile, scientist at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory This argument is extrapolated from observing current trends in technology, including the rise of virtual reality and efforts to map the human brain. In a paper titled “Are You Living In a Simulation?”, Bostrom suggested that members of an advanced “posthuman” civilization with vast computing power might choose to run simulations of their ancestors in the universe. One popular argument for the simulation hypothesis, outside of acid trips, came from Oxford University’s Nick Bostrom in 2003 (although the idea dates back as far as the 17th-century philosopher René Descartes). But what does this mean? And what evidence is there that we are, in fact, living in The Matrix? If it sounds a lot like The Matrix, that’s because it is.Īccording to this week’s New Yorker profile of Y Combinator venture capitalist Sam Altman, there are two tech billionaires secretly engaging scientists to work on breaking us out of the simulation. Sharing and spreading such dubious and unsubstantiated messages will not help anyone instead, they can be counterproductive.Musk is just one of the people in Silicon Valley to take a keen interest in the “simulation hypothesis”, which argues that what we experience as reality is actually a giant computer simulation created by a more sophisticated intelligence. To conclude, there is no evidence or scientific basis to say that cosmic rays from planet Mars can harm your cell phones, so you need not worry about these warnings. However, the satellites that are not under earth’s protective atmosphere can be affected by cosmic rays, which in turn, can effect communication on cell phones. The same thing holds true even if Mars could reflect cosmic rays the effect would not be as significant as mentioned in the claim. It is a fact that cosmic rays may cause damage on microelectronics and life in general, but Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field act like a shield, making it capable of taking care of harmful radiation like that from Sun. 2013, most of the cosmic rays raining down on Earth come from distant exploded stars. As reported by BBC News ( BBC.com) in Feb. Like pointed by this blogger, Mars is a planet that can just reflect sunlight it’s not a star that can emit cosmic radiation. The claim in the message is not something new it has been circulating through forwarded emails, text messages and social media posts like on Facebook since at least 2008, and keeps resurfacing many times.įirstly, there are no credible reports to confirm the cosmic rays warning from Mars neither NASA nor BBC news have ever reported such a thing. The message that requests to be forwarded and shared is not a fact! How it Started These messages, in various versions, claim to talk about a warning that NASA informed BBC saying Cosmic rays from Mars are entering Earth tonight and so we all need to switch off our mobile cell phones, or stay away from them. Mars moves close to Earth and may release high amount of radiation. NASA warns all mobile users to keep phones away while sleeping tonight between 12:30 AM to 3:30 am IST. Send this message to all the people who matter to you.ģ. Do not leave your device close to your body, it can cause you terrible damage. Tonight, 12:30 to 3:30 for our planet will be very high radiation. Pls Forward it to all.Ģ. Tonight at 00: 30 to 03: 30 make sure to turn off the phone, cellular, tablet, etc … and put away from your body. You are requested to SWITCH OFF your mobile during that time. Tonight by 12.30 am cosmic rays from Mars enter into our atmosphere. NASA informs BBC NEWS that the Cosmic Rays from Mars May Harm Your Cell Phones. Don’t keep your cell with you & put it away while you are sleeping. Tonight 12:30 am to 3:30 am cosmic rays entering earth from mars.
