The idea that we do not exist in the real and virtual world, imbued not only fiction, but scientists

The film he Matrix" shocked not only the romantic lovers of fantasy. The idea that we do not exist in the real and virtual world, penetrated and scientists. "We live in a computer simulation?" ("Are You Living in a Computer Simulation?") the title of the book is doctor of philosophy from Sweden nick Bostrom long time held in sales leaders a few years ago. The scientist says that with a probability of 25 percent of our world now is a Matrix - a computer simulation of reality.

The computer itself, that is our world, with software - people created some svarceelaaja. Your readers philosopher gives only one recommendation: in order not to feel the negative consequences of the surrounding Matrix, should... continue to live just the same as before.

And today the confirmation of the idea Bostrom seems to have found confirmation in the theories of scientists of Massachusetts Institute of technology, as well as the famous physicist Stephen Hawking.

Under the new concept of scientists, space is a computer, and everything that happens in it, can be described in terms of information processing. In the traditional view of the world consists of the particles connected by some forces. But according to quantum theory, this is just a set of fields that we can properly be described only by the apparatus of quantum physics.

And here appears the computer, of course, as a concept, not a box, standing on the table. "Quantum physics formulated in almost the same terms, and information processing, " says Vlatko Vedral from Oxford University. It suggests that science can be the basis of all".

Information occupies a special place in the quantum theory. Famous uncertainty principle dates back to information, writes rnd.cnews.ru. Virtually every process in the universe can be reduced to the interaction between particles, giving the binary result. In other words, nature is at its lowest level based on the movement of bits (binary digits)as the computer.

- If we analyze the process from the inside, we will see that the universe is subject to the same law, the unified information rule, which is enough to build the whole cosmos, - said ed Fredkin from the Massachusetts Institute of technology.

But he didn't quite agree Vedral.

- More difficult, " explains Vedral. - Because we bring the entire universe to entities under the laws of quantum physics, space must be an analogue of the quantum computer, not a classic, to which we have become accustomed.

Generally, the source of this unusual ideas - disputes about black holes. One of the fundamental principles of physics States that information cannot be destroyed. However, black holes swallow matter containing information. What happens with this information - this question became a subject of research physicist Stephen Hawking.

- I agree that the information is stored on the borders of the black hole and is released after the disappearance, agrees Hawking. - On the basis of this theoretical physics Leonard Susskind and Gerard't Hooft suggested that the universe also can store the information on its borders. It follows that our reality can be a projection of this information with boundaries in space.

.. And here is another interesting theory, put forward by former colleague of Einstein, a prominent physicist David Bohm, University of London, and developed a neurosurgeon Carl Fibroma. They built the so-called wave theory of reality, according to which the brain is holographic principles. As a hologram is a three-dimensional image that is produced during irradiation, say, photographic plates conventional laser. If you look such a record against the light, we will see it only confusing lines. But it is necessary to cover plate in a special way, and in space occurs three-dimensional, three-dimensional image of the once sealed object. "That's the way our brain constructs the picture of the surrounding world, interpreting radiation another, primary level of reality that exists outside of time and space," says Vibram.

But, then someone specially illuminates someone this "record", leaving all others to be content with the confusion of lines? And it all depends on what the program, or a man, "click the mouse", the Creators of the Matrix, "hanged" in the most exciting game called "Life on Earth"?
