Maybe nothing can go faster than the speed of light because that's

Maybe Bm = v*c^c

>>8789190

"No".

>>8789190
Would the world maintaining the simulation have speed limits?

Also 'cant go faster than light' is stupid concept. It doesn't feel beautiful, which is the only true criteria for choosing your physical reality.

>>8789190
well then what if we overclock the simulator?

>>8789190

Also why would that even make sense? The tick rate of a server would just relate to pushing information to the various clients - theoretical it would make more sense to have a superluminal information speed so the server can coordinate correctly updating the state for all the disparate clients interacting with it.

Even if everything is server side there's still no reason that one is related to the other, its like saying the move speed or framerate is capped because of server tick rate and not because it was a dev choice.

>>8789190
lol speed of light is a constant, no matter what speed you go light will always travel at the same speed, that's why you can never travel faster than light

just because we don't know how doesnt mean its not possible

do you think farmers in the 1700s thought it was possible to have a robot harvest all their crops?

do you think a prostitute in the 1900s ever thought she could be replaced by some sort of hyper realistic doll

you never even saw a starwars film?

Yes in both regards, assuming you explained what the words meant. People in the past weren't retarded or unimaginative.

impulse propagation speed is faster than speed of light.
Here is the proof: if we have an absolutely 100% rigid stick then we can send information instantly by pushing that stick.
Suck it, Einstein.

>>8789268
farmers and prostitutes today probably believe faster than light travel is possible too

>>8789277
Actually that moves at the speed of sound through the medium.

The Alcubierre drive demonstrates that with modern technology, it's not impossible, it's just not practical. But then 150 years ago we were all riding around on horses at 15mph saying "wtf is an internal combustion engine?". So let's just shut down the patent office, because everything that can be invented, has been. And pigs might fly, and man might walk on the moon.

>>8789190

if there's a fucking speed of light that has fucking anything to do with anything but the speed of light, then yes, it's the tick rate.

>>8789347
Alcubierre drive isn't possible. It requires a kind of matter that doesn't exist in the universe to function

>>8789339

sound can in fact move faster than light under some conditions.

nuclear warfare caused the last ice age. 270 million year old tablet unveiled chinese characters saying 'after the communist government'.

oh yeah, and fuck your cats. you let them out and they wander around the fields around my house they might get shot.

>>8789426
Wow... cool... so far off topic, but the chinese were homo sapiens and had a system of writing 270 million years ago... I stand corrected!

>>8789190
So does simulation theory account for the possibility of simulations creating their own simulations? So could we theoretically be within 100 different simulations and eventually make our own?

>>8789365
Can't negative energy densities be created using some jewish space magic involving the casimir effect?

Also not saying alcubierre drive is possible, it isn't because our universe cares about things like causality.

>>8789426
My cats have laser canons attached to their heads, so be careful.

>>8789339
...which is why the upper limit of rigidity on any material is the rigidity at which the speed of light in that material = c.

>>8789448

>>8789448

dude i unhinged an entire fucking thread about this a week ago or so. there's no known limit to rigidity or the speed of transmitting force through a material, aka sound, therefore there's no reason to think that sound couldn't propagate faster than light.

Because of the ridiculous lengths it seems to go to to prevent the causal structure of the universe from being violated. Like sealing closed timelike loops away behind event horizons in black holes, for example.

>>8789313
no, they only believe you can grow bigger potatoes and elongate penises

we discussed this at my school's philosophy club a few weeks ago. I suggested maybe the speed of light is so close to 3e8 because in the "real" world the speed limit actually is 3e8. We also talked about the planck length and other physical boundaries. Essentially, maybe things are the way they are because in the "real" universe they are slightly more thus allowing the beings simulating us to simulate us.

>>8789656

a philosophy club sounds awesome

>tfw no clubs in my uni


why even live

>>8789190
The tick rate of the universe is the Planck time.

>>8789200
maybe it's the biggest value for speed an integer can store

Simulation theory really is just god of the gaps over and over again.

How are you any different to creationists? You aren't. You just replaced GAWWWDD with ALIEEUUUMMMS or ROBOOOOTTTS.

All the good little photons: Every single photon that exists in the u traveling at exactly the same infinitely-precise speed.

HAS PHYSICS GONE TOO FAR?!??!

Maybe light doesn't exist as a discreet entity in the universe, but is actually a phenomenon caused by this universes intersection in a separate temporal dimension.

The tick rate wouldn't matter for objects (us) within the simulation. Our subjective experience of time could be completely uncoupled from that of the universe containing the simulator.

Imagine the being running it hit "pause". We wouldn't notice it.

>>8789190
correlations between entangled quantum systems propagate faster than the speed of light

>>8789195
>It doesn't feel beautiful, which is the only true criteria for choosing your physical reality.
?
you make simulations to observe and record data pertaining to some goal or goals.
"feel beautiful" is vague as fuck and obviously not universal.

>>8794970
No, that would contradict theory or relativity.

>>8794989
No it doesn't. No-communication theorem applies only to any meaningful information that could be sent between observers using entanglement. The measurement one observer makes on an entangled particle still has an uncontrollable causal influence on the other that propagates faster than light

>>8795004
So it looks like nothing travels faster than light there? Hmm maybe there's no FTL there indeed?
