StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

Is anyone working on this?

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

Now, if you answer no, that's exactly what the simulation would want you to say, which means we're in a simulation.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

Aha!

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

I got you.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

You can't do it because if you're trying to prove that it's fake, the proof that you have is fake.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

So you're caught in this loop.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

Why would the proof be fake?

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

Because you're within a simulation that's fake.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

So the proof within the simulation is fake, right?

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

I mean, it's got the same credibility as an email from a Nigerian prince at this point, right?

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

That's very dated.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

Yeah.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

Thank you.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

Like two years after email.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

If this were fake, the proof would be fake, which means that reality is not reality.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

So we don't even know if we're in reality.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

But maybe we are in a simulation.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

Maybe you are in a program.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

I mean, I'm getting endless spam calls about a loan that I supposedly asked about and took out or whatever.

StarTalk Radio
Is the Universe a Math Problem? With Terence Tao

I'm telling you, we're in a simulation controlled by the banks.
