if the universe is a simulation how can we crash it?

>>939613406 (OP)
If the universe where a simulation you would be like pacman trying to get out of the atari.

It's already crashing. Sobody triggered an infinite loop and no we're stuck in a suffer while true loop

>>939614991
reptilians right?

>>939613406 (OP)
It's not a simulation

>>939613406 (OP)
water can't be simulated, it isn't a simulation when there's water.

Your fortune: Reply hazy, try again

prove it

By never getting the (((vaccine))), simple

>>939613406 (OP)
Now THIS is the kind of (meta)physics that fits /b/ !

To answer, maybe we could try and figure out what's the most resource intensive thing to simulate for whatever device runs our universe, then try to make that thing happen as much as possible?

>>939617166
Prove that it is a simulation.

>>939613406 (OP)
I wouldn't concern myself with such things. You're more likely to get yourself deleted.

>>939618305
There's a lot of compelling evidence. Not to mention it has the most pragmatic line of explanation for all things. Better than magic wizards and cloud castles. Better than something-from-nothing. Better than "Durrhurr it just happened, self-subsistent."

if its true we are indeed trapped in a reincarnation trap then us crashing the simulation would make us heroes.

I have no earthly idea, but that is my absolute favorite pic of Asuka. So sexy.

>>939618562
Who wants to be a(n) hero?

We need to do this for the lulz.

>>939618677
If you know how I will do it.

>Better than magic wizards and cloud castles. Better than something-from-nothing

If our universe is simulated, then how came the universe to be in which the hardware is running that simulates ours? After all, if our universe is simulated, there still has to be a real one. It falls into the same mental trap of "God did it" in the sense that you just move the question somewhere else without having explained anything at all.

>>939618907
the real universe may not even be like this one at all it may not be something we can even comprehend

>>939613406 (OP)
Jesus? I mean don't you think they'd put some hints in there how to do it. What kind of psychopath would want a game to not work.

Crashing it would suck, besides, if it were a simulation, the afterlife would be the non-simulation. How are you niggerlovers this easily convinced of not real thingsies? Cronchy chimken

>>939618830
>how
Social engineering on whoever is running the simulation — if there is any such entity.

You know, move a billion stars into position to use as pixels and spell out
>SIMULATION ERROR, PRESS ALT-F4 TO FIX

Of course, to give this even a slight chance of success, you'll need to know details like the language of the entity you're trying to trick and some context to figure out a suitable trick in the first place.

>>939619003
We can't crash it. We are the simulation. Crashing it is what we do. If you look at the universe as one big simulated game you can't really crash it, you're just doing what you're supposed to be doing.

>>939619536
Not true if there is a hardware or software flaw (and as we all know those are almost guaranteed to be there).

Examples:
- StarCraft 1 maps that abuse game engine bugs and unsafe memory access to overwrite game logic and do a total conversion into Super Mario.

- Various Virtual Machine / Hypervisor escape exploits.

- The RowHammer attack, leaking arbitrary physical RAM contents from safely sandboxes JavaScript.

What OP proposes seems plausible in that light.

For our universe, I'd start by doing an initial exploration to see if anything strikes me as odd / worth checking out.

Step two then would be to try and exploit these things.

One oddity I find highly suspect is any place where an infinity becomes physically real. That just doesn't seem right.
And there happens to be such a phenomenon: Black Holes, where spacetime curvature becomes infinite (which is why they're called Singularities).

Exercise for the reader: how do you exploit infinite spacetime curvature?

>>939618391
Put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger. See if it is a simulation after that.
