    maybe we all are living on petri dish recreation of the earth as it was long ago...

    there's a theory that we are living in a computer simulation of the earth created by people in the future with that kinda curiosity

    ... but of course, the thing with The Matrix is, conceivably, it could be true...like the films were a kinda of 'leaked message' to us all stuck in some machine kept asleep and dreaming...because, well, you never could honestly really know could you?

    Petri dish planet earth? *shudders* ... now that's some spooky shiite...

    Imagine that,if to some other race,watching us is like looking at bacteria through a microscope,if our entire galaxy is just on a microscope slide in some giant other world......

    I think ive just popped my own head trying to concieve that

    Have I come into this discussion late? Is this the theory that most likely we are a simulation? ie: Given the future power of computers and therefore the perfect simulations they could generate, and given they would run millions of them, the odds are we are infact one of these simulations rather then real?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    that's the one

    load of rubbish really, but it's interesting to speculate...

    i dont know what made me more paranoid, the matrix or the truman show, though im pretty paranoid to be begin with.
    as for the humans in a matrix thing, even if it were true how would you know if you were real or just the high tech equivalent of an "npc"?

    The Truman Show is probably more realistic, what with spy cameras and such ... no "man in the moon" or anything like that, nor a big sky-coloured wall ... but I remember seeing something on TV ages ago about some psycho TV repairman who installed a secret camera inside a woman's VCR that was in her bedroom, it was there for ages and this dude was perving on her via remote.

    Of course, we're programmed with that pre-disposition!
