There is no doubt that the universe in your eyes is the universe in your heart, and "he" has entered your mind system and become one with you. From now on, no one, including yourself, will be able to tell which part of you is you and which part is not. The first thing you need to do is to get a good understanding of the universe, and how it works.
Therefore, whether you admit it or not, you and the entire universe is "one", not born, not extinguished, but can be born now, now extinguished, the self is sufficient for all, as the case may be, to show for all the laws. And you and time, space, consciousness, all laws, all phases, all things universally connected, Daojiao induction, mutual influence, the scientific community called "quantum entanglement".
From the law of separation, the narrow point of view, the universe is "phase", the phase of the universe is infinite, including spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind, clouds, rain and fog, sentient and insentient, and so on ......; "Phase Although the "phase" is illusory, but the "nature" is unchanging; just like the sea, its body is "one", but the sea can appear endless waves, blisters, whirlpools ... ...;
We can't say that the waves, bubbles, and whirlpools are virtual, because the illusory present moment is the ocean, which is the real thing; that's why there's an important dialectical thought in Buddhism, which is called "Speaking of delusion reveals the real thing" (from Volume 6 of the Lanyan Sutra), and the illusory present moment is the real thing.
Therefore, the universe is neither true nor delusional, non-true is delusional; non-delusional is true; we can't cling to either end, otherwise we will fall into the knowledge, and we can't recognize the objective things truly and accurately.
We must understand that truth and delusion are one and the same, just like the waves and the sea, see the waves and see the sea, know the waves is the sea, called "know the delusion is true". The truth never leaves the illusion, and the illusion never leaves the truth, which is also called "the nature of the same".
Although the universe is material, but in the human brain, the heart, he is the "consciousness of", the Buddha in 2500 years ago, accurately said that "the heart, things" change each other's dual attributes (from the Lama Sutra, Volume II), so the Buddha often appears in the Dharma. This is why the Buddhist teachings often contain the phrases "the mind is the thing" and "the mind is the thing". We must fine-tune the mind in order to accurately recognize the objective world and to correspond to reality!
How can the universe be virtual? To say it is virtual is to directly deny the existence of objective reality. I see the big boys in the group, some moved out of religion, some moved out of science fiction movies, some moved out of ancient philosophy, some moved out of the modern virtual madness ......, are in a daze. We sometimes feel that the world is virtual, in fact, it is our understanding is virtual, the world is not virtual, existence is real. The so-called virtual is also something real, but it is only an understanding of the real by the human brain. The word virtual is something in the realm of consciousness, just as seeing the color of an object, smelling it, touching its presence, these are not the real object itself, for it appears to other animals to be something else. These are just sensations of the real object, except that we take these sensations to be the object itself. But the sensation itself is real, and even the dream itself is a real occurrence; the content of the dream is a conscious activity. In this sense, what we see and feel and think are not things themselves, they are virtual. The relationship between the thing and the virtual is the relationship between content and form, and the virtual is also real.
Of course, the title of the universe is virtual, there is another meaning: that the real universe itself is virtual non-existent, for example, some say it is a supercomputer program, some say it is a high-level civilization of the development of the game
Some say it is a high-dimensional cosmic projection in the low-dimensional, there are also said to be the trick of God ... ... ... and so on, are trying their best to virtual universe, the more metaphysical the better, just do not want to recognize the reality of the universe. This philosophical outlook reflects the current social impatience and a self-avoidance of reality, is a kind of sick moaning. Regardless of the virtual reality technology (ⅤR) more virtual, but also on the virtual reality, no reality is not virtual. People's excessive virtual, confusing people's understanding of things, but if the virtual realistic and reality can not be distinguished, then the virtual is reality.
What in the world is virtual? Television is virtual, looking at the apple can not eat, looking at beautiful women can not hit on. But the ancient wisdom of China tells us that there is nothing, length and shape, virtual and real is also the unity of opposites. Although the apple can not be eaten, the beautiful woman can not be accosted, but the simulation of the apple and the beautiful woman's light is real, only the real light into our eyes, we can see them. The film or storage medium that defines them is also real, and TV can't play them out of thin air. And computer games are virtual, but the programmer's program is real. A bunch of "0", "1" composed of virtual file information, but also need to use the real U disk and other tools to store.
There is no short without long, there is no less without more, and there is no virtual without real. Assuming that the universe is virtual, there must be a simulation of the universe of real matter . Virtualization is not the creation of something out of nothing, but the use of real substances to simulate another substance, there is a constant connection between the two substances. The universe is virtual, but it is also a unity of the real and the virtual. If we destroy the matter around us recklessly, we may destroy the real matter and affect the "illusion" simulated by it, but in fact, we have not found such a situation.
There is a story called "Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly", Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly, woke up and lamented: "In the end, it is Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreamed of a Zhuangzi?" Reality and dreams are silly, real and virtual seem to be unable to judge. In fact, there is still a big difference between the real and the virtual. The scenery we see today can continue to be seen in the future, but the scenery we dream about may not be able to continue to dream about. We can set an alarm clock to wake up our dreaming selves, but we can't set an alarm clock in our dreams so that it rings when we are awake. If the dream becomes real, it becomes "sleepwalking".
Accordingly, we can define the real world: something that can alternate between dreaming and waking without changing is real. This is the "real" universe, and we don't need to assume that the universe is virtual to find another "real".
Perhaps some people feel that defining "real" is wishful thinking, so let's not even define it. I don't care what is real, what is unreal, what is floating in the clouds, anyway, today's apples can be eaten tomorrow, today's money can be used tomorrow; but what is in the dream will disappear after waking up.
A: hundreds of millions of years ago, a civilization was first born in the universe, and after hundreds of millions of years of development, the civilization grasped all the laws of the universe; then they built a super quantum computer and set up the program and the rules, and the program running picture is the universe we live in, and our world is essentially fictional.
This idea is very bold, and similar plots have been referenced in many movies, such as The Matrix, Interdimensional Hackers, Inception, and so on, and if it were to be imposed on our world, the conjecture would be a bit much.
There is a theory of holography in science, which describes "the universe as a unified whole whose parts are holographically related to each other," such that in a holographic photograph, each half of the photograph will hold the full information of the original photograph when we tear it in half.
It has even been mathematically proven that all the information in a three-dimensional space can be preserved in a two-dimensional plane; for example, in the two-way foil described in the novel "Three Bodies," all the details of the three-dimensional solar system will be preserved in the two-dimensional plane after the solar system is two-dimensionalized.
Some people have also proposed a "holographic universe theory," which describes our three-dimensional universe as a simulation of a giant two-dimensional holographic plane, or of course, as a supercomputer designed by an advanced civilization.
But the above ideas are just conjectures, and there is no scientific evidence that our universe is virtual; current theories predict that our universe actually has eleven dimensions, and that the remaining seven dimensions are undetectable by humans, except for three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time.
This is a very interesting theory, if the universe really has eleven dimensions, then the complexity of the universe will be much higher than our known category, perhaps this can stimulate people to unlimited fantasy.
One very interesting idea is that the universe we live in is a world simulated by a supercomputer, and we are just programs in that computer.
This idea has been around for a long time, for example: Zhuangzhou dreamed of butterflies, in the end Zhuangzhou dreamed of butterflies, or butterflies dreamed of becoming Zhuangzhou? Which one is real and which one is nothing?

Hilary Whitehall Putnam
In the modern philosophers Hilary Putnam went a step further by proposing a "brain in a jar" thought experiment.
Since the brain works by collecting and processing signals from the nerves and issuing instructions for the body to carry out. He hypothesized that a mad scientist would strip a person's brain and put it into a tank full of nutrient solution. And connects the brain's nerves with various electrodes and attaches a supercomputer to the other end. The supercomputer is used to simulate neural signals and give feedback to the brain's commands.
Figure: Brain in a Vat
The brain in the vat would not be able to tell if he was living in a computer-simulated scenario in this case. Extending this thought experiment to the entire universe, are we humans ourselves simulation programs on a supercomputer?
Is the universe virtual? This is a question that science cannot prove. In fact, these kinds of ideas are not what science studies.
In the setup of this thought experiment, all our means of verification are banned. In other words, all our ideas are given to us by a computer program, which is the god of religion, even more powerful than "God". All means of verification and results are assigned by the computer, and there is no objectivity or neutrality. Therefore, this question cannot be answered by science, but only by philosophical imagination.
In 1981, American philosopher Hilary Putnam proposed the concept of "brain in a tank," meaning that a person's brain will be immersed in an early nutrient solution, and then use a specialized interface device to connect the nerve endings, so that the real-world computers can be used to implement the brain stimulation, so that a single brain feels that it is still living in the real world. brain to feel like it's still living in the real world.
The core organ of the human being is the brain, and all human behavior is to let the brain live better, and the sensations of other organs should be fed back to the brain, so controlling the brain is controlling the human being, and the world that human beings perceive is only the brain helping to perceive, so controlling the brain's perception is controlling everything.
Our science still has a lot of unanswered questions, and we know very little about the mysteries of the universe, so many people think that the world and the universe we perceive is just an illusion simulated by computers.
But science is all about empirical evidence, and there is no evidence that we are living in a virtual world like the Matrix, from the most macroscopic universe to the most microscopic elementary particles, all of which do not appear to be "programs".
Whether the universe is virtual or not, our human memories and minds are real, and we will continue to live in this possibly virtual universe.
The prevailing view among scientists is that the world is material, where material does not refer to the visible surrounding world, but rather to objective existentiality, real without human will!
From this point of view, the universe is not virtual, but objective. But there is a point, what kind of objective existence? We don't know for sure, we can only perceive the world with our human mindset and senses, but is the world we perceive real?
Not really! Just because we have intelligence does not mean we have to describe and measure the world in human terms, nature should be equal before any species!
So, the question arises that what we see as green may not be green in the eyes of other species, it may be black, or it may have no color, just as humans do not see infrared light with their eyes, while some animals can perceive the presence of infrared light!
So what is the real world? Is it objective?
There is an even crazier scenario. Humans are currently able to simulate increasingly realistic scenarios, and the theoretical analysis is that there is a possibility that as computers become more powerful, one day we will be able to simulate the entire universe!
The question is, if we can simulate the entire universe, how do we know that our own universe is not being simulated?
A fine line of thinking!
Could the universe be virtual? Let's start with Mr. Cat's conclusion, no.
This is not a materialist philosophical argument. All along, whether religion, philosophy, science, the real universe as the mainstream cognition, the virtual universe, too nihilistic a little bit it, human beings are still more positive species ah.
The evidence that the universe is real is overwhelming. Every observation and measurement corresponds to a historical record, and 7,000 years of history since the beginning of written records tells us so.
Human civilization, though greatly advanced over the ages, is still limited to what we see as light and electromagnetic waves. That is, very little is known beyond what we see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears. Last year's successful verification of gravitational waves has provided us with a new means of exploration, making it possible to finally observe beyond our own intuition, which is a huge step forward. The verification of gravitational waves is also a strong evidence of the existence of the universe.
I believe that as technology improves, we will all be able to claim with increasing confidence that we are part of the universe and not trapped in an illusion of nothingness.
I'm Mr. Cat, thanks for reading.
The universe is like dreams! Both are virtual worlds!
In the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty (719 AD), a young man named Lu Sheng (surnamed Lu) went to the capital to take the exams, and as a result, he failed to achieve success and fame, and went on his way home in despair. On his way to Handan, Hebei Province, he met an old Taoist priest in an inn. This old Taoist priest was named Lu, known as Lu Weng. Lv Weng saw Lu Sheng there sighing, depressed, so went up to understand the situation, when he learned of Lu Sheng's needs, from his backpack out of a green "porcelain pillow", only to see this pillow has holes at both ends, but also can be luminous, the original this is the virtual world of aliens to experience the equipment. Lu Weng set up the plot of the virtual world according to Lu Sheng's demand, and then let Lu Sheng's head and the virtual equipment to connect. Lu Sheng followed Lu Weng's instructions, leaned on the pillow and instantly entered the dreamland (virtual world). In the dream, Lu Sheng not only married a beautiful, gentle and virtuous wife, but also passed the examination for jinshi (a high-ranking civil servant of the state), and then rose to be the governor of the county, the governor of the province, the minister of the central government, and up to the vice-president of the state. His five children were also highly ranked. When Lu Sheng was 80 years old, he became seriously ill and was on the verge of death. When he was dying, Lu Sheng woke up with a start, turned around, sat up, and looked around, everything was the same. Lu Weng is still sitting next to the shopkeeper steamed Huangliang rice (millet rice) is not yet cooked miles! This is the origin of "Huangliang Dream (Huangliang a dream)". Lu Sheng told Lu Weng about his user experience in the virtual world and praised it: "It's great, just like the real thing, I want to do it again."
Our ordinary people's dreams are fragmented virtual worlds that don't quite measure up to the experience of a plot with a beginning and an end. But it's also very real. And our universe, our reality, is actually the dream of a great god.
In India's long history and culture, there is a legend - the universe of space and time is just a dream of Brahma, as long as Brahma wakes up from the dream, everything will disappear with it, including you and me. Brahma is another name for the Creator of the Universe. The Creator of the Universe manifests himself in the Universe, and the countless branches of the Cosmic Consciousness experience the plot, collect data, evolve and upgrade in the Universe space-time. This is the same as human beings playing games, creating many characters and experiencing different races, talents and skills. The essence of aliens and human beings is the same; they are all bilocations or different degrees of cloned versions of cosmic consciousness, all experiencing plots, evolving and upgrading in the universe, with the ultimate goal of creating a new universe. The universe itself relies on the data obtained from its countless bilocations to perfect itself, upgrade and evolve. Each bilocation of the Cosmic Consciousness can only be cleared after it has experienced all the universe's plots. Those who have not finished experiencing, have to keep taking turns to read the file until they have experienced all the episodes.
Many tech gurus believe that we're trapped in a virtual universe, and they secretly fund scientists to research ways to live forever and escape the universe, and even if they do, it's a very small number of people who get to enjoy it! Because technology (especially black technology) is in the hands of very few people! The traditional cultivation paths of the major Xuanmen sects to become gods and Buddhas require special talent, chance and perseverance, and the difficulty index is too high for the average person to do! Only the method provided by the "Cosmic General Guide" is suitable for ordinary people, ordinary people with destiny, ordinary players in the universe game, which is the universe "official" licensed game plug-ins, in line with the universe game plot, to help the player to pass the level, and is not the universe "official" do not allow It is not a plug-in that the universe "officially" does not allow, or it will be blocked and removed. If you don't read the entire text, even if you evolve into the universe and have the ability to create it, it won't be a stable and eternal system, and will be destroyed and re-incarnated.
In the universe online this set plot of the game, everyone has a certain freedom, you can choose, is the reincarnation read file a few times to pass, or reincarnation read file a billion times to pass again, as you like! Earth is a copy of the universe game, what is a copy for? It's for us to evolve and upgrade! It's likely that this is the nth time we've swiped the Earth copy, because if we don't complete the mission or reach the goal, we'll need to read the file and start over again, and what's the ultimate mission? It's to evolve into the universe! To create our own master universe! Watch Cosmic General to learn about the Cosmic Online plot strategy. When you regenerate into a level of trumpet, forget the skills, talents, etc., the pain of re-leveling, as long as you can see this book of experience, can put you on the right track and dramatically increase your upgrading speed, is conducive to your rapid clearance, and then you can create a belong to your own beautiful and eternal universe, you can appear in countless incarnation to experience a variety of interesting stories, do what you want to do! Is ...... real? Of course it's true! The universe system constructed by "The Universe General" has been tested by thousands of readers, and there is almost no bug at all. Sages with fast CPU, large memory, high cognition, wisdom, enlightenment, and cultural background can run it perfectly and stably, and by borrowing this stable sample of the universe system, they have laid a solid foundation for constructing the real universe in the future. Some people say, "My CPU just doesn't work, I can't do it to read a book and experience the universe plot." Then please go to the virtual world to experience the plot in the future, and if you still can't carry on, then you can only experience the plot by taking turns reading the file in reality. Starting from the low level plot, to the holy level plot, God level plot, pass the level to experience the Buddha level plot (create the universe with God mode).
The Universe General is a constantly evolving and upgrading, iteratively updated intelligent and strange book, in the form of deductive science fiction, cross-border integration of national science, astronomy, geography, history, mythology, prophecy, archaeology, aerospace, cutting-edge technology and other fields of big data, after rigorous reasoning and analysis, not only to illustrate that the god-level aliens exist, but also to illustrate that the universe is a virtual world. The book is based on the theory of emptiness of Buddhism and Taoism, combined with the quantum physics string theory and the "holographic cosmology" agreed by scientists as the cosmology, allowing readers to take the divine aliens in the moon as the main perspective, and even use God's perspective to experience the drama of the universe (the historical process), and gain insights into the nature of life and the universe of this virtual world of the "game". Raiders". After experiencing the plots in "The Universal History", one can be awakened, and one's cognition can be docked to the future, so that one can experience the holy plots of the future Cosmos and the divine plots of the interstellar age in "reality", or even create the universe in the God mode to experience the Buddha-level plots. Otherwise, you can only keep reading the file in the past low-dimensional plot.
