We do not live in a simulation. But that is the only concept we have to describe it. We can only describe reality in words and concepts that we know. So when what were are used to living in changes, what we formerly thought of as our reality becomes a simulation. That is the only concept we have to describe it at present. If you have any other ideas, please let me know....lol
Space is not the final frontier. Space is also a construct of the human mind. What we think of as space can be signified with different symbols, concepts and ideas. Its not about traveling in space. There are no aliens in spaceships. That is our own projection of what it would aliens look like. We have spaceships, so we think other beings in the universe would travel with a more advanced versions of what we know. So when we see something foreign, something incredible occurs, it is not surprising that people would think there are aliens, because that is the best we can do with the tools we have. If you have any other ideas, please let me know...lol
Its not about traveling. Its about opening up. Opening up is about giving up. Its all around us. Even the aliens. What would they need interstellar travel when they are already here?
