University of Washington researchers are conducting experiments to determine if we're really just stuck inside the equivalent of The Matrix
"Whoa." It's the familiar refrain of Neo (Keanu Reeves) in 1999's The Matrix, the celebrated cyberpunk thriller that imagines reality as a grandiose computer simulation. It's also how a few sci-fi fans are reacting to mind-bending new research that suggests the film's conceit might not be so far-fetched after all. Right now, University of Washington physicists are conducting experiments to determine whether or not the universe in which we're living is actually just one, gigantic computer simulation. Here's what you should know:
How could the universe be a computer simulation?In 2003, a British philosopher named Nick Bostrom from the University of Oxford published a highly controversial but widely read paper in which he suggested,says RayVillardatDiscovery News, that "our far-evolved distant descendants might construct such a program to simulate the past and recreate how their remote ancestors lived." Any supercivilization, argues Bostrom, would inevitably create such a program.
Is that even possible?Well, we already have simulation games like The Sims. But if you're going to reconstruct reality as we know it, you'd have to start at the most basic, fundamental level. Right now, the planet's most advanced supercomputers use a technique called lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQC) to model subatomic particles stuff like quarks and gluons. In their paper "Constraints on the Universe as a Numerical Simulation," UW physicists argue that a super-super-super-super computer in the future could stack these basic subatomic building blocks together like Legos to recreate anything: Plants, animals, the human brain, oceans, planets, entire galaxies... you name it. Essentially, such a powerful computer could model space-time as a simulation from the Big Bang forward.
How would we be able to tell if we're living inside a computer-generated universe?It's really complicated, but essentially UW researchers suggest that we couldbe living in an intelligently designed reality they're calling The Lattice. Like all software simulations, The Lattice should contain telltale evidence (or "signatures") that the space-time continuum as we know it was being modeled in some sort of omniscient computer. All you'd need to do was identify these "signatures," says Matt Peckham at TIME,say, "something like a limitation in the energy produced by cosmic rays." At the frayed boundaries of The Lattice, for instance, these cosmic rays would behaved in strange, unexpected ways.
How can we test it?The paper doesn't specify. Physicist Martin Savage, one of the project's researchers, says that if the simulations run long enough, "and have the same laws as our universe, then something like our universe will emerge within that simulations, and the situation will repeat itself within each simulation." In other words, all we have to do is find a simulation within a simulation for evidence that our reality is, indeed, a simulation. You know what that means, says Villard: God could be a computer programmer rather than "a bearded old man living in the sky." Whoa, indeed.

NEW YORK & PETACH TIKVAH, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics (BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell technologies for neurodegenerative diseases, announced today that it has signed an agreement with Octane Biotech of Kingston, Ontario, to jointly develop a proprietary bioreactor for production of its NurOwn stem cell therapy candidate. The customized bioreactor will enable BrainStorm to optimize its NurOwn production process, significantly increasing its production capabilities by using a single clean room for multiple patients, reducing costs and time. The project is supported by a grant awarded by the Canada-Israel Industrial Research and Development Foundation (CIIRDF).
Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will develop a commercially viable, safe, reliable, and cost-effective bioreactor for scale-up of BrainStorms NurOwn stem cell therapy, using Octanes Automated Cell & Tissue Engineering System (ACTES) technology. The CIIRDF funding award was approved for a period of three years.
Octane is the ideal partner for us, since they have a particular expertise in developing automated production processes for mesenchymal cell therapy technologies, commented Dr. Adrian Harel, BrainStorms CEO. We are anxious to move ahead with this project, in order to be in a position to provide NurOwn as quickly as possible, and to as many patients as possible, in the near future.
The opportunity to work with BrainStorm on scaling-up the NurOwn production process is a particularly meaningful one, given the urgency of its target population, said Dr. Tim Smith, Octanes CEO. We are confident that our combined knowledge base and commitment to the project will help advance their product significantly closer to clinical use.
BrainStorm is currently conducting a Phase I/II clinical trial in ALS patients at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem and is planning to expand its clinical development in the USA, pending FDA approval. Towards that goal, the Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital to begin ALS human clinical trials at these institutions.

What we know as God is active in our lives by way of our thoughts. We create our lives by way of our thoughts, words, and actions. If we wish to experience our lives differently, we must take on a new thought. In that new thought we will then bear witness to the changes within ourselves and in the Universe. Through these demonstrations of thought, word and action we may then know that we as individuals do personally make a difference in the world.From:UnityCenterPSViews:6 0ratingsTime:06:06More inAutos Vehicles
