Are we really living in a simulation?

I was given to thinking about this wild idea, again, after watching Rick and Morty's 'M. Night Shaym-Aliens!' episode from season one <<NB - M Knight Shyamalan, has remained tight lipped over their spoof of his name and film game">>.

Films like The Matrix or Source Code etc. aside, what are the real physics around these wild notions all about?

Are we living in a simulation?

US military picks 3 companies to test nuclear propulsion in cislunar space

#4 Post by TheGreenGoblin » Tue Apr 20, 2021 5:41 pm

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has picked three big space companies for the first phase of a larger project to test nuclear propulsion above low Earth orbit by 2025.

General Atomics, Blue Origin and Lockheed Martin each received contracts for the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations (DRACO) program's first phase. While DARPA did not disclose the contract values in its announcement, media outlet Space News reported General Atomics received $22 million, Lockheed Martin $2.9 million and Blue Origin $2.5 million.

The teams were selected due to their ability to develop and deploy advanced systems for reactors, propulsion and spacecraft, DARPA officials said in a statement. The agency particularly emphasized the need for "rapid maneuver" for military systems but said this is difficult in space with conventional systems

TGG - I am (just a little) concerned that this "Rick and Morty" thing does seem to have a number of unclothed men in it =)) I know lockdown has been difficult, but

Rick doesn't roll that way ... and Morty has a relationship with an alien female robot sex doll so I guess, they, and me, are OK! =)) ;)))

Having watched all of RIck and Morty during lockdown, I have now graduated to Bojack Horseman, who is a horse, so it may be that my problem may be even bigger than I might imagine! :))
