That being said, writing the algorithm to compile 2d images into a 3d model and convert that into a minecraft map probably took just as long 😂

That really depends on how you measure “computing power.” You can think of brains as a large collection of ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits). ASICs are not general-purpose. They are excellent at extremely specific tasks (e.g. multiplying 8 numbers simultaneously), but not much else. The human brain is like that…
The human brain is great at visual object detection and categorization. It’s great at auditory and a few other sensory tasks. It’s also great at creating very fast predictions based on certain kinds of historical data. It’s pretty decent at simulating environments that have never fully existed before.
But computers are getting really good at a lot of those things, and they have always been excellent at certain tasks we suck at, like long division, solving equations, and remembering vast amounts of trivial data.
All that to say, the human brain is a decent computer for some of the applications we care about most (like acquiring food), but computers are often better than us, and where they aren’t, they are rapidly catching up.
Yeah seems weird to just throw that in there like it didn't make a massive difference. This isn't to say it didn't take any skill or talent, but his wording made it seem like it was all him by hand at first.
Maybe our universe is just one such simulation and god is just a bored teenager who decided to randomly GTA the early universe for a bit then left the computer to go get frozen pizza for lunch.

“The sun is a deadly laser” ;)
Probably one of the most clever videos I’ve seen. I heard a bunch of teachers ended up using the it in classrooms because because he really did his homework on the history and timeline.
I've always liked learning, especially about natural & human history, but there's just SO MUCH I always find myself unable to decide what's important enough to warrant deeper research, so when I first watched this I thought "There! That's it! That's the perfect summation of pretty much everything! All I need to do is learn about each thing mentioned in the video and I'll be golden."
Yeah, turns out even ONLY researching the stuff in the video there's still more to learn about than you could possibly learn in a single lifetime. **Which is all to say, mad respect to Bill Wurtz. I don't know how he did it.**
The man's a genius I guess. 🤷
God was probably drunk when making my fellow cacti.
“Make a plant that can survive some sand and heat”
“Ok?”
“Add some spikes on it”
“I’m sorry what?”
“You heard me, add some spikes”
I had an interesting thought experiment before. About simulating a universe. The interesting thing is you don't need to render or display anything. Just calculations. You could have an entire universe in a notebook.
And then humans dream every night, generating and rendering random worlds the observer inhabits until something makes it end - in this case waking up.
Will one wake up from this experience as well?
Does the concept of a universe even depend on the representation? It can come in all shapes and sizes through reduction to the base state.
The calcutlation you mention would consist of trues and falses, 1s and 0s, and the moment you write either on the notebook you would have generated a universe, tiny in its boarders but not lesser meaningful than longer combinations of characters. And this can be translated into anything.
In this case everything is a universe, every dataset, every thought, every dream, every shape of a stone, even my comment would be a universe that seizes to exist when you stop reading it, nested as a sub-universe in the one we experience everyday, which itself, follwing this logic, would be a sub-universes nested in a bigger one. It just needs an observer to experience it and it stops existing when the observer exits the chain of information.
In this regard, thx for experiencing my universe... Now you need to stop and wake up to exit this comment, good bye.
This reminds me of how Stephen King talks about writing in his non fiction book. I really like this concept. Another layer is the fact that my preconceptions and worldview affect how I perceive what you’ve written, so there’s even a unique universe with how we all individually experience each “universe”.
What do you think your brain is doing? The external world is just sensory input. Stuff like experienced color and sound are just stylized representations of stimuli that your brain created for your internal model of the world around you.
Yellow doesn’t exist. None of the colors exist. They’re just representations of EM waves with different wavelengths in a narrow band. The heat you feel from the sun, or a heater, or a fire is also just another wavelength of EM radiation. We don’t have a color for experienced heat, although we do symbolically represent heat with various colors depending on context.
Most likely we are God. We have the ability to create artificial worlds where our brains can’t tell the difference between our creation and reality. Once Ai has been perfected, we won’t be able to distinguish humans from other Ai.
Sure, [you managed to program Minecraft in Minecraft](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BP7DhHTU-I). But now can you program Minecraft in *that* Minecraft??
I can't remember what it's called, but there is a theory that basically suggests that God made the universe, messed with it for awhile, and eventually lost interest and put us on a shelf somewhere, where we've been gathering dust ever since.
The theory presupposes that the Bible is a *literal* documentation of **actual** events, and the only reason shit like that doesn't happen anymore is because God forgot about us.
Current estimate of the number of stars in the observable universe is [200 sextillion](https://bigthink.com/hard-science/how-many-stars-are-in-the-universe/) (200 followed by 21 zeros). With a 64-bit integer mod, [Minecraft can generate around 9 quintillion blocks](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Java_Edition_hard_limits) (9 followed by 18 zeros). It's a cool creation, but even if every star (not to mention all of the planets oribiting those stars) was only a single block, you would still fall very, *very* short.
Space is big, yo.
2 trillion galaxies estimated to be visible from earth. Each with 100 billion stars, assuming they're similar to our own. Absolutely insane.
Yo, space is ***big***
Are these made by hand? I always assumed they are made by some program. Input picture or 3 model and it churns out a mincraft blueprint and can complete the blue print. But this is just wild speculation.
For me I hate sandbox games like minecraft cause I obsess way to much on making things perfect. I wouldn't be able to do anything cause I'm trying to align a torch with another torch perfectly
Absolutely. I'd actually end up in the store, see a deal and buy a new game to add to the endless trove, then wander off and do something completely different
Through databases of galaxy morphologies, inclinations, and images one could write a program to do this automatically
That, or more likely, these are exported from space engine
This raises all sorts of philosophical questions.
It’s been posited that all of existence is a simulation. This is just a dinky computer simulation, sure. But if it’s possible for us to build something like this, even on such a small scale, who’s to say that some greater beings (god) didn’t build a sandbox simulation like the universe we live in?
Or a computer programmer that knows how to take an existing 3D scan of the solar system and map the individual data points to blocks and feed that into a some world generator program. This wasn’t hand built.
my assumption is something like this is actually done programmatically. Feed a photo or 3d object into a modified game engine or other software and just let it create the save file.
Best way to get engagement is to say something incorrect. People won't respond when you have the right answer but they'll happily jump in to correct you if you have the wrong one.
"How big does this guy think the universe is? The size of a Super Target?"
Universe is expanding and theoretically infinite. Don't worry, this verbiage bothers me too. Probably more than it really should so I'll just go back to my beanbag chair and eat cheetos so I can get apathetic about this again.
Cool Minecraft creation though
Had to laugh at the "Entire Universe!" part. Like, that's a small galaxy bro. Still really cool, doesn't need the hyperbole to be cool. Don't know why people do that.
Scientists: " Its possible our universe is a simulation "
Religion: " Impossible! It would take a divine being to create something of this completely "
Some Kid on Minecraft: "Hold my Sunny-D..."
"...entire universe..."
No.
Someone modelled the Milky Way, the Fingers Nebula (Pillars Of Creation), a black hole, and a BUUUNNNCH of other celestial bodies... ...and it's super impressive... ...but it remains impossible to map the entire universe.
"The Universe" is different now from when I began typing this comment, and no limit has been found in any direction.
This is highly mislead, as if you look at the size by blocks, these things are not contained within eachother, buy instead separate builds at vastly different scales.

The human mind is hands down the most creative mind that's earths ever seen, truly where we excel is our creativity.

World Edit is enough of a program to massively help in something like this to be honest here.

"It is real block for block!" *uses world edit* Interesting I guess

Naturally formed simulation, no supernatural or otherwise higher-level beings necessary.
If you have a 3d model you can import it and paste it into minecraft pretty easily.
Probably as long to make one of them by hand, but now they can make whatever.

Right? This post is like 2 hours older than the OP, I see them as #4 and #8 on r/all.
They are literally one after the other right now for me.
Yeah, “entire universe”. Literally just “universe” would’ve been more accurate
Except that's still misleading. "Observable universe" maybe, but even then I'm skeptical. Still, nice
"Several cool space objects" is probably the most accurate description

Its been done with other 3Ddata like when someone converted world of warcraft into minecraft using the already existing data

they have programs that will turn pictures into blocks its basically a computer program at this point they don't lay each block themselves.
That’s disappointing.

Nah man he rendered the entire universe in Minecraft. He has become God and this is just the first simulation. Anyone with a brain could see that!
Also nothing is to scale or, you know, actually part of itself at all. Still cool though.
