As talked about in my dreams post, I remember reading something about how dreams are remembered but just not recallable. What if our memory works like a Blog in that everything is recorded and stored and tagged and time stamped and then stored away. When you want to recall a memory you either hit a tag or a time stamp. What if dreams are forgotten because they do not have any time stamps or tags applied? Memory does not work quite like this but go with it for a while. What if a dream that had the start of an event we did have and the end of an event we did have but a different middle? An example is needed, what is a man goes for a walk to a park and sees a young girl then goes home. What if he has a dream where he goes to the park and sees the young girl and talks to her and asks her name and then leaves? If for some reason the time stamps got mixed up he then might forget the reality and believe the dream. What if a dream could take place for a real event? How would he tell the difference?
How does anyone know their memories are real? One knows their memories are real because they are trigged by senses and objects. One can look at photos and see oneself there and remember it being taken. Those that cannot remember the event put it down to bad memory. What if there was a way to invent memories? All someone would have to do is invent a memory of them owing someone money or something and put an item they could have bought and they would believe it.
But this is just the start of what could happen. What if we could clone the world the new cloned world would have a copy of our memory. Would this world then believe its memories are real? How would we know we were the first world and not the new cloned one? What about if we were to tell the cloned world they are in fact cloned how would they believe it?
This theory is one of a view about a simulated world and will not get too into it now. All in all if we did clone the whole world and put it side by side the only way of telling would be to work out its location in space, nothing could tell the difference if it was a complete copy. If the world was started today and all of yesterdays memories were invented and the whole universe was just created today, how could you tell?
