COMPUTER CODE has been discovered embedded WITHIN the equations of superstring theory

"Doubly-even self-dual linear binary error-correcting block code," first invented by Claude Shannon in the 1940's, has been discovered embedded WITHIN the equations of superstring theory!

Why does nature have this? What errors does it need to correct? What is an 'error' for nature? More importantly what is the explanation for this freakish discovery? Your guess is as good as mine.

2.) Gates original paper: [0806.0051] Relating Doubly-Even Error-Correcting Codes, Graphs, and Irreducible Representations of N-Extended Supersymmetry

3.) A potential explanation, Bostrom's Simulation Hypothesis: Are You Living in a Simulation?

Here's a simple breakdown of what this is all about for you simpler folks:

basically what its saying is in the equations of string theory, which they're trying to use to describe the whole universe/nature itself if im not mistaken, you can find binary computer code... and not just random code, but a correcting code that was discovered in 1940 to make sure signals dont get mixed up and send the wrong message.

basically what that means, is we could possible not exist in the real universe... but it would be more likely that we are in a simulated universe... we exist on a super computer in the future. we think we exist because the artificial intelligence will be so good in the future it will be indistinguishable from actual conciseness. (this is what the 2nd guy was talking about, not the first guy who found the computer code.)

its a stretch yes, but it cannot be proven wrong.

and when you think about it further it could be true... everything we see, touch, smell, hear, taste all gets converted into electronic signals inside our body, and our brain turns these signals back into our surrounding... essentially you never can actually touch something, because its being turned into an electronic signal inside your body, and your brain projects the feeling of touch. - FreeMind[/url]

So basically we're in The Matrix...

i was just about to say the matrix

but even if so ... whats outside the matrix??

String theory is a non-theory that has no workable proofs or proper equations supporting the overall theory or their models. There are so many differing ideas on this subject that it approaches on the verge of make believe. Fortunately, the tools used in pursuit of this erroneous theory are useful in other endeavors. Currently, this supposed theory isn't testable nor is it observable. At this point this is an unproven hypothesis.

I looked read a article from a link on this video and in it's conclusion was this quote.

Just because a piece of mathematics is ubiquitous and appears in the description of several distinct systems does not necessarily mean that those systems are related to each other. The number pi, after all, occurs in the measurement of circles as well as in the measurement of population distributions. This does not mean that populations are related to circles.

There are actual testable theories that are doing away with this sudoscience as should naturally occur when science prevails at doing what it is meant to. Test reality.

this would be a good time to get to know those bigtime hackers

So perhaps, there is a super self aware person out there who can possibly break outside the restrictions of this simulated program, or matrices of simulations. Maybe?

College student killed by L train after drunken man attacked him and pushed him onto tracks

A LaGuardia Community College student was killed by a Brooklyn subway train Friday, after a boozed-up straphanger started a fight and the the tussle spilled onto the tracks.

Joshua Basin, 20, was riding an eastbound L train to go to his girlfriend's house in Long Isaand when a drunken man began berating him and his two friends before the Bedford Ave. stop in Williamsburg, sources and a friend said. [The suspect remained at large, and police released a sketch Saturday evening, seen below.]

When the train stopped, Basin and his pals got out of the train -but the suspect attacked him on the platform about 10 p.m., cops and family said.

"There was some kind of drunk person," said Basin's heartbroken mother, Zena Basin. "The guy was fighting with him. The guy kept coming at him and they both fell."

As Basin tried to defend himself, the pair dropped to the tracks on the opposite side - just as a Manhattan-bound train came barreling into the station, cops sources and family said.

The suspect, believed to be a white man in his early 30s, climbed back onto the platform and ran away. But Basin couldn't manage to pull himself out in time and was struck by the train, cops and his mother said.

"He ran away," the weeping mother said of the suspect. "He left my son dead."

Basin was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, but he could not be saved.

His devastated mother clutched a picture of her only child at the family's Howard Beach, Queens, home as tears welled in her eyes.

"My only son," she said. "I need to find out why anyone would do this to my loving son."

She said Joshua was born a twin, but the only to survive. She said the junior psychology major was planning a night out with friends when the tragic altercation sparked on the train.

"He wasn't a fighter," she said. "He would never hurt anyone. He was a good boy."

Cops were still hunting for the suspect. Investigators were poring over surveillance video at the station, but have not yet found any footage of the suspect, a source said.

"Whoever did this to my son needs to turn himself in," the mother said. "I need to find out why he did that to my son."

Police sketch of the suspect sought in the death of Joshua Basin.

Oops: Man pocket dials 911 while stealing

Police say they found Gorneau with 700 pounds of scrap metal in his truck.

Michael Gorneau, who accidentally dialed cops while allegedly stealing 700 pounds of scrap metal.

Here's a cautionary tale for would-be thieves.

A Connecticut man accidentally called 911 on his cell phone while he was allegedly stealing 700 pounds of scrap metal from a local business Thursday.

Police initially thought the call was a medical emergency, since they could only hear rustling in the background before the call disconnected, according to Southington Patch.

But once identified the caller's location using GPS, they arrived at the scene to find Michael Gorneau, 46, had transferred the metal from a local business's dumpster into his pick-up truck.

Gorneau accidentally called 911 while crawling under a fence, police told Southington Patch. They initially thought the call might be a medical emergency, since they could only hear rustling in the background.

The metal belonged to a company that makes metal doors, NBC Connecticut reported. Far from being trash, it's generally sold to help pay for the employees' benefits.

Gorneau was charged with third-degree trespassing and sixth-degree larceny larceny. He was released from jail on $5,000 bond, and is scheduled to appear in court on April 2.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department is looking for a 22-month-old boy who hasn't been seen by family in nearly a year.

The case came to light after the boy's mother was arrested Thursday by police in Elk Grove for a probation violation.

Turns out the baby boy named Dwight was targeted for a welfare check in April of 2011, however, Sacramento County Child Protective Services weren't able to track down mom and son, and 11 months had gone by before Tanisha Edwards as arrested.

According to the Sacramento County Sheriff Department Spokesperson Jason Ramos, the mother has had conflicting stories on what happened to her son and that none of them have turned up anything credible.

The sheriff's department has now taken over the investigation from the Elk Grove Police Department and are hoping the child is safe and living with a family unaware of the circumstances.

"There is a chance this child was given to a family under a different name, so they wouldn't know he is missing," said Ramos.
