Computerology
Delightful news all you NSGers, Posi is going to show you the light.
Fairly recently, science has found that there are minmums in the universe:a minimum length of distance, a minimum lenght of time, and a minimum mass. Since all other measurements are just a combination of those three unites, they all have a minimum too. What do I mean by minimum unit? I mean if you were to say keep looking at smaller and smaller distances, you would get to a point were you couldn't subdivide your measurement anymore. Something could be at point x, or point y. There is no halfway point between them. Another exemple, you are measuring a subatomic particle, you find that it is exactly 15 units long. It would be completely imposible for it to be 15.1 units long. Why is this so? Because the smallest unit of measurement is a pixel. Well, what's a pixel then? A pixel is the smallest point possible on your computer screen. That is right, our entire universe is being run on some computer. Time also is easily explainable with this theory. The smallest unit of time is one frame on the computer that stores our universe. From this one can easily see that the universe as we know it is really a cumputer simulation.
EDIT: I forgot all the stuff about the supernatural.
The supernatural is possible. While there is no code that says that ghosts exist or that someone could walk on water, code does, on occasion, execute incorrectly. This is known wore commonly as a glitch.

what can i say? i tend to belive you posi, but i also tend to belive that it's ********... why? because: theory1: the universe is infinite. dividing it into pieces means that it's not infinite anymore because if you can divide it, then it's a unit and it's not an infinity anymore. theory2: in the same time, the universe, infinite, can be infinite by having an infinite number of units. theory3: every unit has an infinite number of pieces, or more exactly units. i say units because every piece can be divided into an infinite number of pieces (those can be divided too... and so on....) and that makes it a unit. theory4: the infinity is a piece too, or unit, can be divided... these are my theories about universe. it is strange how the infinity can be a unit. honestly it took me about an year to formulate this theory, and i reached to one conclusion. this is the balance of the universe. i called it infinity and unity. an d one more conclusion i reached: this balance is mainteined by god, and the devil is the one that wants to destroy the balance, leading into the destruction of the universe, and (hope i'm wrong) of god too

Oh course you can divide some thing infinite. The set of real numbers is infinite. The set of positive real numbers is half of it, but also infinite.

This pixel you describe sounds like the Plank length :)
I think it was recently shown that statistically we were more likely to be living in a computer generated simulation than a 'real' world as well.

How do you know there is no code that creates ghosts, etc...?
How is the code produced?
If the code is produced by some "programmer", then the creation of ghosts and the like would be a trivial coding exercise.
Why would the "programmer" not do fun stuff like that?
The question is, can we communicate with the programmer, and would it be any surprise to "him" if we tried to do so?
Also,.. what changes in my world (as I conceive it) if I accept this doctrine of how the universe works?
Why should I care, and what use is it to me?

There is one real universe, in it live creatures capable of creating virtual universes, and these could also create their own subuniverses. So, while there's only one real universe, there are potentially many virtual universes. It's more probable that we live in one of those universes than in the real one.
As fun as this sounds, Posi, it seems like the big ol' BS unless you can provide some proof.
Actually it is you who has to prove it wrong.
This pixel you describe sounds like the Plank length :)

Correct
Pixel=Plank length. I didn't mention it because I cannot remember whether it is Plank or Flank. *nod*
How do you know there is no code that creates ghosts, etc...?
If they code existed, we could easily verify their existance. Since there is no code, there is no consistant method of ghosts modifying our world.
How is the code produced?
If we knew that we would all have our own universes would we not?
If the code is produced by some "programmer", then the creation of ghosts and the like would be a trivial coding exercise.
Easier to program than us. However, the programmer doesn't have towant ghosts in his universe does he.
Why would the "programmer" not do fun stuff like that?[quote]
How do you know that he is doing this for fun. He could be doing this to try to prove fate, or the creation of the universe.
[quote]The question is, can we communicate with the programmer, and would it be any surprise to "him" if we tried to do so?
As of now no, we cannot communicate. If we ever got technelogically advanced enoughwe could make a giant(as in the size of several superclusters) billboard to talk to him. It would be anyones guess whether it is a surprise.
Also,.. what changes in my world (as I conceive it) if I accept this doctrine of how the universe works?
If you want something that changes how you preceive the world, put on the beer goggles of Christianity.
Why should I care, and what use is it to me?
You should care because this is how the universe works. Remember, knowledge is power.

But that is a good question, but one we would never figure out. If they are as good as they are in the movie, they would be too seemless for us to discover.
Also, as to the Agents, let's just assume that your theory is correct, and so is mine, that there are programs like the ones in the movie that keeps order in our reality. If these programs were to maintain order in our reality, and keep us from knowing the truth, then it would be logical that the Programmer gave them special abilities. Let's look at the JFK assination through the scope of both of our theories. Let us assume that JFK knows the truth. Now the programmer would know that he knows, but to just delete him (dissapearance) would be questionable and make us more aware of our reality, so the programmer must use assination to keep the cover up. Now as I said, the programmers has agents that have been given special abilities (they can bend the rules in our reality because of their codes) to carry our their mission. It would not be too far of a fetch to say that an Agent took control of Oswald body and kill JFK. However, to explain Ruby, well assuming Oswald saw the agent before he had a chance to leave. So another Agent takes control of Ruby and kill Oswald.
In order to complete their missions, Agents would have to be VERY good at their missions and they are.
Agents could also explain those people who saw UFO and then are visited by the men in black.
