Super-computers are no more conscious than ordinary computers because their processing architecture is the same (Whitworth, 2009). As piling many rocks together just gives a big rock, so piling many graphic boards together into a supercomputer just gives a big machine. In this model "consciousness arises" when virtual systems by self-awareness recognize their origin. As current computing design avoids the recursive processing necessary for self-awareness, computers will not become conscious any time soon. The big bang is now an accepted part of physics. It implies a universe created by something outside itself, a concept objective reality theory can't accommodate but virtual reality theory can. Science accepts the big bang based on data, even though we can't go back to witness it, i.e. a conjecture about an unknowable cause was resolved by knowable world data. If science can resolve the steady state vs. big bang hypothesis contrast, it can resolve the objective vs. virtual reality contrast.

Its speed should then depend upon medium properties, like elasticity. If the medium is space, the speed of light should depend on the elasticity of space. If space is nothing it has no properties at all, let alone an elasticity, so scientists originally thought that everything must move in a luminiferous ether, as a fish swims in water. However if the earth orbits the sun at 108,000 km per hour, which turns even faster around the galaxy, we must be moving through the ether (Figure 2).

Its speed should then count upon medium properties, like elasticity. If the medium is space, the amphetamine of luminosity should depend on the elasticity of space. If outer space is nothing it has no properties at all, let alone an elasticity, so scientists in the first place thought that everything must move in a luminiferous ether, as a fish swims in water. However if the land orb the sun at 108,000 km per hour, which turns even faster around the galaxy, we must be moving through the ether (Figure 2).
