>> We know nothing about quantum physics. And you know nothing about statistics.

I think people who study quantum mechanics (not you, not me) know a lot about it. Perhaps not a substantial portion of what there is to know, but it isn't exactly unknown territory.

As to statistics, I can guarantee you I know more about that subject than you do.

>> For you to put it at 0.00000 (no probability) shows your ignorance right there. There is a probability for anything (the HUP!).

There is a probability of occurrence for every event. It can be, and often IS, zero. There is zero probability of my phone ringing when it is unplugged. There is zero probability of federal government paying off its debt in your lifetime. There is zero probability of the broken glass in my car not being broken when I wake up in the morning. And there is zero probability we're all walking around in some kind of simulated world.

>> Do you know how powerful quantum computers could get??

Do you have any idea how much distance there is between the Turing test and creating a virtual simulation with billions of people in it, all of which are creating their own realities?

Obviously, you have no perspective about what is involved in a rudimentary simulation of a reasonably complex system.
