you don't seem to understand how pointless it is to apply our logic to things that don't follow our logic. you would literally have better results arguing politics with clams.

if we cannot logically comprehend the entirety of something you can't test it. this "test" was little more than a shot in the dark just for the sake of taking a shot in the dark.

talking points are fine as long as its not stuff like this. whens the last time you argued gods existence and made a single valid point against it or for it? its a dead end road just like this test.

if you want to say all studies like this are valid then fine.....go study if our universe is just a single atom in a gigantic cosmic ostrich poop.

apply scientific logic to illogical subjects and you end up with little more than baseless claims.

heres a link that describes how they plan to do the test better. After reading that, why do you still find it illogical? They seem to be doing some study and use of logic that has already been acquired, and then they are attempting to create a model of our reality, just as you create a model for any other experiment. and They may just find that reality is actually not a simulation, and then by Popper's principle of falsification this would be a worthwhile experiment.
