Physicists have found a scientific way to check to see whether we live all in the "matrix"

Physicists from the United States and Germany have proposed an experimental verification of the fact that we see our universe are moderately accurate computer model.

The very hypothesis of simulation in question was formulated by the famous Swedish transhumanist philosopher Nick Bostrom article in 2003 in the journal Philosophical Quarterly. In it he gives arguments in favor of the following assertion: if we assume that one day mankind will develop into a super-civilizations, the current state, with high probability, the result of simulation of the evolution of our sverhpotomkami. Works Bostrom has repeatedly criticized (Russian philosopher Danila Medvedev wrote a famous article entitled "Are We Living in speculation Nick Bostrom?»).

As part of the new work, scientists came to the so-called issue of simulation in terms of physics. They suggested that future supercomputers calculation made on the basis of quantum chromodynamics on the discrete numerical grid with very small spatial resolution. Currently, this type of modeling is performed for a diameter of a few areas femtometrov increments 0, 1 femtometra. According to the calculations of physicists, an area the size meter on the same step in maintaining the current growth of computing power can be modeled through 140 years.

Analysis of scientists has shown that, if the universe is a computer simulation, the spectrum of cosmic rays at certain energies should be open. It is noteworthy that there is indeed a break - this is the limit Grayzena - Zatsepin - Kuzmin, who is 50 eksaelektronvolt. To this limit was an artifact of the computer model, its spatial step should be 11 orders of magnitude smaller than existing models.

Furthermore, the distribution of cosmic rays should inherit the symmetry of the grid on which the calculations are carried out. As a consequence, for example, if the cubic grid, that distribution must be highly anisotropic. As far as this kind of predictions can be checked by existing technical means, the authors do not say.
