SO I'M STUck IN THiS DESERT FOR ETERNITY. I DONT KNOW WHY. I JUST WOKE UFP HERE ONE DAY. I NEVER FEEL HUNGRY OR THIRSTY I JUST wALK. SAND AND RoCKS STRETCH TO INFINITY. AS BEST AS CAN TELU THERE'S PLENTY OF TME IVE REDERIVED FOR THINKING OUT HERE. MODERN MATH PHYSICS, TOO I WORKED OUT THE KINKS IN QUANTUM MECHANICS AND RELATIVITY IN THE SAND ToOK A LOT OF THINKING, BUT THIS PLACE HAS FEWER DISTRACTIONS THAN AN ETERNITY, REAY. AND THEN SOnE A SWI5S PATENT OFFIcE. WITH THE RIGHT SET OF RULES ANDBUILD A CoMpUTER ENOUGH SPACE, EACH NEW ROW I WAS PBLE TO ONE OAY I STARTED LAYING DOWN RONS oFFOLLOWED FROM THE LAST IN A SIMPLE PATTERN. | | . . :::| | STONES IS ENEr ITERATION OF THE SURE, ITS RocKs INSTEAD OF ELECTRICTY BUT ITS THE SAME AFTER A WHILE, T PROGRAMMED IT TO BE A PHYSICS SMU- LATOR. EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION ABOUT A PARTICLE WAS ENCODED AS A STRING OF BITS WRITTEN IN THE STONES. WITH ENOUGH TIME AND SPACE, I COULD FULLY SIMULATE TWO PARTICLES INTERACTING 루 TURIN 5-COMPLETE ooiojoi0 BUT I HAVE INAINITE SO I DECIDED TO SIMULATE A UNIVERSE ME AND SPACE. THE EONS BLUR PAST AS I WALK DOWN A SINGLE Row THE ROwS BLUR PAST TO AND N THE ANOTHER INSTANT COMPUTE A SINGLE STEP SIMULATION TICKS BY. SO IF YOU SEE A MOTE OF DUST VANISH FRoM YOUR VISION IN A LITTLE FLASH OR SOMETHING IM SORRY. I MUOST HAVE MISPLACED A ROck っへ SOME ME IN THE LAST a FEW BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF MILLENNIA IF YOU THINK THE MINUTES IN YOUR MORNING LECTURE ARE TAKING A LONG TIME TO PASS FOR YOU… OH, AND...

If the conspiracy theories about life being a simulation are true WHOEVERS CONTROLLING MY SIM I JUST WANNA TALK 31
when the simulation starts to glitch:
BLETCHLEYPARK ENGLAND KRASNIKOv? yOu THINK THE RUSSIANS ARE BEHIND IT? IT'S NOT NECESSARILY I WOULDN'T WANT TO RULE OUT A KRASNIKOV TUBE EITHER. MAY HAVE CROSSED WITH A NATURALLY OcCuRRING WORM- HOLE AT THIS PRECISE POINT NO, A K-TUBE IS, uM, ITS A DIFFERENT KIND OF WORMHOLE MIGHT'VE AH, BUT NOT IF THEY GO FAR ENOuGH BACK, BEEN BUILT BY SuPPOSE, THEIR RUsSIANS FROM A sociO-ECONOMIC OR, I KAY, OKAY, ITs THOUSAND YEARS IN THE FUTURE THOUGH. YOu MEAN DESCENDENTS COULD BE A SIMPLE GLITCH IN THE GENTLEMEN?) SIMULATION. HUMANKIND CH PARDON?WILL ONE DAY HAVE ENOUGH PROCESSING OOMPH TO RUN SIMULATIONS OF THE UNIVERSE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM REALITY THE MORE PROCESSING POWER SOON AS THAT HAPPENS, THERE'S A THEY GET, THE MORE SIMuLATIONS 50/50 CHANCE THAT THEY'LL RUN, AND THE HIGHER OUR UNIVERSE ISAATHE ODDS BECOME THAT WE S0, EITHER HUMANITY OR IT'S VASTLY SUFFERS TOTAL TECHNO-MORE PROBABLE THAN LOGICAL BREAKDOWNN NOT THAT THE ENTIRE BEFORE IT REACHES /HISTORY OF OUR UNIVERSE SIMULATION. ARE A SIMULATION. THAT POINT IS NOTHING BuT A BLINK IN A QuANTUM COMPuTER MAD MAX LATER OR THE SIMS NOW. THOSE ARE YOUR CHOICES. I'M SORRY WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH MY MISSING BUILDING? THERE'S NO TELLING. BUT WE'LL FIND OuT WE'RE VERY SMART
