Quotes About Simulation

So many of us live in a "virtual reality;" it feels real and looks real, but it isn't real.

No weather forecaster can tell you for sure when to wear a rain slicker, stock up on canned goods, or evacuate a city that's in a cyclone's path. All forecasters can offer is their best guess at the atmosphere of the future, whispered by the simulated blue marble and wrapped up in uncertainty.

We're trending towards the holodeck. Eventually we'll have a system that's indistinguishable from reality.

If everything moves along and there are no major catastrophes we're basically headed towards holograms.

When Thoreau considered "where I live and what I live for," he tied together location and values. Where we live doesn't just change how we live; it informs who we become. Most recently, technology promises us lives on the screen. What values, Thoreau would ask, follow from this new location? Immersed in simulation, where do we live, and what do we live for?

The technology has become like a phantom limb, it is so much a part of them. These young people are among the first to grow up with an expectation of continuous connection: always on, and always on them. And they are among the first to grow up not necessarily thinking of simulation as second best. All of this makes them fluent with technology but brings a set of new insecurities.

Real people, with their unpredictable ways, can seem difficult to contend with after one has spent a stretch in simulation.

Laboratory research suggests that how we look and act in the virtual affect our behavior in the real.

The elephant in the room has always been simulator sickness and disorientation. That's one of the biggest challenges.

The great games are the space sims and driving sims and these experiences where you're basically sitting at a table with nothing happening in front of you. A lot of interesting things are evolving there. There are great games that can be made.

Programming is modelisation of real life.

The use of "war games" is a powerful antidote to the lack of thinking about competitors' reactions to proposed moves. 11.

The best simulator for spacewalking is underwater - it allows full visuals and body movement in 3D. Virtual reality is good, too, and has some advantages, like full Station simulation, not just part. Like all simulators, they have parts that are wrong and misleading: an important thing to remember when preparing for reality.

Let's take flight simulation as an example. If you're trying to train a pilot, you can simulate almost the whole course. You don't have to get in an airplane until late in the process.

This exquisite photograph of water in movement...has a very subtle message for us. It is that nature's computers are that which they compute. If one were to take intricate details of wind and tide and so on, and use them...as 'input' to some computer simulating water—what computer would one use, and how express the 'output'? Water itself: that answers both those questions.

Welcome to Westworld, where nothing can go wrong...go wrong...go wrong.

scale. The American institutions built to manage risk and respond to a virus had been engaged in a weird simulation of crisis response that did not involve actually trying to stop the virus. "The greatest trick the CDC ever pulled was convincing the world containment wasn't possible

With lab courses, we may be able to simulate a lot of that and reduce costs.

Within our lifetimes, we will be able to push out enough computational power to simulate reality.

On occasion, we at 'MythBusters' come across stories we want to test that require using a pig carcass to simulate human physiology.

I'd say that we dream primarily the same way that we have consciousness of the world for the same reason. Basically, that our brains evolve to simulate reality and to control what's happening around us.

Every training session, I try to simulate the conditions similar to where I am racing.
