いつものマウス画。これも1分かかってない。
わたしたちは実はシミュレーションの中に生きている。
こんな内容のことを一度は聞いたことがあるでしょうが、
それをニューヨーク・タイムズが取り上げました。
調査によってこの宇宙がシミュレーションだということがわかったら、
制作者がこのシミュレーション世界を終了させてしまう危険性があると。
患者が与えられている薬がプラシーボ（偽薬）とわかったら、
実験しても意味がないのでその時点で実験は終わらせなければならない。
知らないから意味があるので知ったら終わりだと。
Are We Living in a Computer Simulation? Let’s Not Find Out
Experimental findings will be either boring or extremely dangerous.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/10/opinion/sunday/are-we-living-in-a-computer-simulation-lets-not-find-out.html「The theory that we are living in a computer simulation may sound bizarre, but it has found adherents. The technology entrepreneur Elon Musk has said that the odds that we are not simulated are “one in billions.” Professor Smoot estimates that the ratio of simulated to real people might be as high as 10¹² to 1.」
「In recent years, scientists have become interested in testing the theory. In 2012, inspired by Professor Bostrom’s work, physicists at the University of Washington proposed an empirical experiment of the simulation hypothesis. The details are complex, but the basic idea is simple: Some of today’s computer simulations of our cosmos produce distinctive anomalies — for example, there are telltale glitches in the behavior of simulated cosmic rays. By taking a closer look at the cosmic rays in our universe, the physicists suggested, we might detect comparable anomalies, providing evidence that we live in a simulation.」
「Think of it this way. If a researcher wants to test the efficacy of a new drug, it is vitally important that the patients not know whether they’re receiving the drug or a placebo. If the patients manage to learn who is receiving what, the trial is pointless and has to be canceled.」
