The Fibonacci Sequence in nature and the Simulation Theory

    The Fibonacci numbers are Nature's numbering system. They appear everywhere in Nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the the scales of a pineapple.

    In short, The Simulation Theory says that we are living inside a real life Matrix/computer game. That technology will get to a place some time in the future to allow this to happen.

    Thoughts on either? Or is this far too not "Yore Ma!" on a day when half the nation is in bits with a hangover ;)

    What are you trying to say? That the Fibonacci sequence proves the Simulation Theory?

    You mean "simulation "

    Jesus man, it's the 1st day of the year. Take it easy. Have a cup of tea and talk to a human face to face.

    Simulation hypothesis. Big difference between a theory and a hypothesis.

    Also, what connection are you making between the hypothesis and the Fibonacci sequence?

    I'm not the one who sees a number sequence in nature and thinks we might be living in a simulation like the matrix.

    The internet hasn't broken me yet...

    Explain yourself. The first bit is the definition of the Sequence. Yes. And?

    Try starting a thread or two yourself or contribute something that isn't the drizzling shîts of forum posting.

    There is absolutely no connection between the two and the Simulation hypothesis doesn't claim there is.

    There's also a contradiction between saying 'we are living inside a real life Matrix/computer game. ' and then 'technology will get to a place some time in the future to allow this to happen'.
    Of course the hypothesis is all nonsense anyway.

    The copy and paste from UGA is a bit obvious.

    Are you going to answer anyone's questions, as you should if you want to partake in discussion, or will you continue to copy and paste threads from others forums with no actual knowledge of what you're posting? Limiting any further discussion because you can't answer basic questions on 'your' theory.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 267 ✭✭Train Dragon


    Woah.

    I pasted the definition of the sequence from Google yes. But what's wrong with that? Where's the fire ?

    And what other threads am I being accused of copying?

    OP, What links the two?

    Simple question involving two quite complex subjects, I know, but - even in layman's terms - where do the two intersect?

    Ok that I can answer now to some extent and add more later. I was listening to Those Conspiracy Guys podcast on Simulation Theory and the two ideas seemed to intertwine quite a bit on it.

    Ah, me arse. If you think I'm bullying then take it up with admin, bulling is taken very seriously on boards.

    You fired up a thread without giving any opinion. You had time to answer questions but none relating to the topic itself. Pointless.

    You have not given a definition of the Fibonacci sequence. Do you even know what it is? Explain it here in simple terms without using Google.

    Your mention of simulation theory brought this film to mind. Well worth the watch if you're interested in that sort of thing.

    That's amazing.

    It's like as if Fibonacci tried to model natural growth and ended up with a model for natural growth (that works in some cases)

    What are the odds ?

    9 What has happened before will happen again. What has been done before will be done again. There is nothing new in the whole world. 10 "Look," they say, "here is something new!" But no, it has all happened before, long before we were born. 11 No one remembers what has happened in the past, and no one in days to come will remember what happens between now and then. 12 I, the Philosopher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 I determined that I would examine and study all the things that are done in this world. God has laid a miserable fate upon us. 14 I have seen everything done in this world, and I tell you, it is all useless. It is like chasing the wind. 15 You can't straighten out what is crooked; you can't count things that aren't there. 16 I told myself, "I have become a great man, far wiser than anyone who ruled Jerusalem before me. I know what wisdom and knowledge really are." 17 I was determined to learn the difference between knowledge and foolishness, wisdom and madness. But I found out that I might as well be chasing the wind. 18 The wiser you are, the more worries you have; the more you know, the more it hurts.

    Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
    red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.

    It's not recursive though, surely it should be?

    I think it would have to be a poop recursion in order to be relevant to Fibonacci. So maybe: 'Mods eat their own poop, which makes them poop, and then eat their own poop, which makes them poop...

    Stop condition: mod dies of E-coli :(
