"Understanding Beliefs" by Nils J. Nilsson
"What beliefs are, what they do for us, how we come to hold them, and how to evaluate them. Our beliefs constitute a large part of our knowledge of the world. We have beliefs about objects, about culture, about the past, and about the future. We have beliefs about other people, and we believe that they have beliefs as well. We use beliefs to predict, to explain, to create, to console, to entertain. Some of our beliefs we call theories, and we are extraordinarily creative at constructing them. Theories of quantum mechanics, evolution, and relativity are examples. But so are theories about astrology, alien abduction, guardian angels, and reincarnation.

Science has begun to have something to say about the properties of mind; the more we learn about the minds of other creatures, from octopuses to chimpanzees, to imagine the potential minds of computers...>>

"The book presents the science behind our simulated reality and the scientific principles of the theoretical framework of a simulation model of the universe. If you ever wondered who you are, where you are, what you are, why you are here, what is the meaning of life, no mistake about it you came to the right place to find out! Maybe the idea “Simulated universe” sounds extraordinary but if you investigate further the facts and essence of the subject eventually you will discover the truth. Quantum physics has determined that all atoms in the universe are predominantly empty and mass-less, with no identity or location, and without the interference of the Higgs mass-generating mechanism the...>>
