It ties in with the multi-verse stuff - very interesting, mind-boggling ideas.

Where can I find that article about physicists exploring "universe as a simulation"? (Totally agree with you, by the way -- the evidence is out for both sides!)

I'm no theist, but I don't think Dawkins does his movement many favours with his attitude. The thing that annoys me, is that he seems to have it all worked out. He's as sure of himself as the devout. That's the wrong approach.
There may well be beings in our universe or outside our universe that are so far beyond us that we might as well call them gods. We may all be running as a simulation on their iPhones. (no not really, but yes really for the magnitudes this implies).
I was reading an article recently that physicists are starting to seriuosly explore the "universe as a simulation" idea. I hope someday, we crack an atom in a collider and open up the admin panel to this universe. Some Buddhist monks think they already have.

Superb! I love it when someone rises to the challenge.
I've appended to my original blog post citing your correction. I thought about correcting those errors, but after two years online, it seems a crime to erase them when they can be quite educational in their own right. Thanks again!

You've got a few grammar errors in there yourself (e.g., using "their" instead of "his or her"). I know this is a super late reply, but I might as well.

Westy, I can't focus on what you're saying because I'm spending more time deciphering your mistakes: the medium should deliver the message, not impede it. If you're being lazy, that's one choice, I guess... but I'm always willing to engage in a heathly discussion through comments. But how seriously do you think you appear if you're too lazy to write properly?
I've written in my blog about this extensively:

Hey there --
I noticed that you voted for the trailer for 10 MPH (about a Segway roadtrip across America) a while ago...
Well, the filmmakers have posted the ENTIRE FILM online and I just submitted it to the Sift. Enjoy!

P.S. I love your profile handle & pic together. Only the well-read get it.
