So how does this realization brings us closer to the meaning of life?
如何使我們更了解生命的意義
Well,at first,it would seem to be bad news.
這在乍看之下可能像是個(gè)壞消息
If reality itself is just a model in each individual brain...
若現(xiàn)實(shí)本身只不過(guò)是每個(gè)人心里所認(rèn)知的模型
Where can the meaning be?
那么意義究竟何在
What's more: Perhaps there is no real reality out there at all?
此外 也許真正的現(xiàn)實(shí)根本不存在
It may seem crazy to doubt that our concept of reality as true.
懷疑我們所認(rèn)知的現(xiàn)實(shí)的真實(shí)性可能有點(diǎn)瘋狂
But I think to find the meaning of life we must answer the question:
但我認(rèn)為要找出生命的意義 就必須回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題
Is there an independent reality or not?
獨(dú)立的現(xiàn)實(shí)世界是否存在?
Imagine a scenario that is straight from a science fiction movie.
想象一下科幻電影里的一個(gè)情景
The world around you is actually nothing more than an elaborate fabrication
你周遭的世界其實(shí)只不過(guò)是 某個(gè)比人類(lèi)優(yōu)越的
of some unknown superior intelligence.
不知名智慧體 所精心擬造的
Giant supercomputer provide you with all your senses
一臺(tái)巨大的超級(jí)電腦提供所有的觀感給你
from what you see to what you smell,hear and touch.
從你所見(jiàn)的景象 到你所聞 所聽(tīng)與觸摸的一切
But in fact you have no senses.
但其實(shí)你并沒(méi)有感官
Your body does not exist. You are just a brain in a jar.
你的身體并不存在 你不過(guò)是裝在罐子里的大腦罷了
It may sound bizarre,but this is a genuine scientific hypothesis called:
這聽(tīng)起來(lái)可能很詭異 但這是真的科學(xué)假說(shuō) 叫做
The simulation theory.
"模擬理論"
