This stuff is right up my alley so I REALLY loved these. There's also a part 3 but I can't seem to find it

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. I listened to this while updating a spreadsheet at work. Maybe that was part of the simulation. 
The two things that jumped out at me in the doc.
1) "It would be no big deal not having free will because you wouldn't notice any difference" (that's a vile string of logic to me)
2) Their logic for not follow through their concept of reality is weak to the point of being laughable. It's like saying, "A car was designed, but trying to understand anything about the designers is impossible", when they should be saying, "A car was designed, what do the characteristics of a car reveal about the designers?"

Wow, that was like a major lightbulb going off in my head! It might sound daft but from an early age studying physics I always wondered what governed these specific figures and did consider the existence of other universes with different governing forces. It was pretty amazing hearing these guys speculating that as a possibility.
The music and photography was pretty superb too. Channel 4 has a knack of doing these kinds of things and making them great and thought provoking viewing.

Amazing video. They mentioned that if you mapped out every function of every nerve cell in your brain, you could transfer your "exsistence" to another hardware medium. You could use silicone based electronic hardware instead of carbon based biological electro-chemical hardware that living things use today. I myself thought of this idea some time ago. When i saw the mmention it, i was like, shit, i thought of this already. Great program. They should have it on Discovery channel more often.

Also, i liked the way they explained the theory of parallel universes. That there could be more universes out there with slightly different laws of physics. I remember i wrote an essay in my physics class back in high school about our universe being a computer simulation. And here they talk about it in this video.. Great stuff!

| Originally posted by Floorfiller what they said was that if there was a multiverse full of trillions upon trillions of universes...then the space constant isn't finely-tuned because it is probable for it to occur among such a huge number of universes... |
Did anybody watch the documentary about PVD? I tried, but I don't speak deutsch

And they make a very good case for it. The first half or so of the documentary talks about other interesting stuff too, like the true nature of the universe, but the part about a computer simulated universe was the best.
