I want to tell you about the universe

what it is how it came to be what its

building blocks are I want to tell you

how the future creates the past which

then create the future but first I want

to tell you about crystals you might be

surprised to know that a crystal isn't

an expensive piece of glass or a

chandelier in some fancy dining room the

word crystal simply means a pattern that

is periodic

look at this checkerboard pattern see

how it continues to spread out

infinitely in each direction that means

it's a periodic pattern so that a

two-dimensional crystal this is another

two-dimensional crystal cement is

another you can also have three

dimensional crystals

by the way the 3d glass is called

crystal because it's atoms are actually

arranged in a crystalline pattern so see

how has rejected the three-dimensional

crystal to a two-dimensional image on

the sand see how the 2d projection looks

distorted because of the angle of the

projection that 2d image also has a

pattern but it isn't periodic so it's

not a crystal but there's a deep

connection between the 2d objects on the

sand and the 3d mother crystal this

distorted 2d pattern is called a quasi

crystal a quasi crystal in a certain

dimension in this case 2d is a

projection of a crystal in a higher

dimension in this case 3d a group of

physicists in Los Angeles is working on

a new physics theory for a particular HD

crystal yep that's right an 8

dimensional crystal is projected to 4d

at a very particular angle which forms

in 4d quasicrystal

and from this 4d quasicrystal

they derive a 3d quasicrystal which they

believe is the fundamental substructure

of all of reality this 3d quasicrystal

has a fundamental building block a

tetrahedron which is a three-dimensional

equilateral triangle the size of each

edge on this shape is the smallest

possible length that can exist this is

called the Planck length it's 10 to the

35 times smaller than a metre so you

know how your TV screen is broken down

into building blocks called pixels a

pixel is the smallest possible

indivisible unit of the 2d screen so

think of reality as your TV screen but

in 3d and think of the tetrahedron as a

3d pixel the smallest possible

indivisible unit of reality the

tetrahedra in the quasi crystal combined

with other tetrahedra using complex

mathematical rules to fill up all of the

space in the universe each tetrahedron

only has a few specific states in which

it can exist at any given moment and

because of the rules of how these pixels

connect to each other if one tetrahedron

is in a certain state this dictates the

states of many other tetrahedra

throughout all of space but here's the

weird thing if a certain tetrahedron can

be in any one of just a few possible

States in a given moment

who or what chooses the state it should

be in at any given moment well for such

a choice to be made we need to

scientifically mathematically and

logically bring in a new element into

physics and that element is

consciousness

if you're not a scientist you might be

surprised to learn that nobody actually

knows the exact value of the speed of

light we have a close approximation but

not the exact value the closest we can

get to measuring it has to do with the

precision of our machines but no matter

how precise our machines get we will

never be able to measure the exact speed

of light without a theory that tells us

what it is and why it is and none of the

current physics theories do that I'm

sorry's I'm expanding here if you know

that my bed said that if I draw okay

otherwise pick up my tongue like this

bang our best physics theories I'm fine

theory of relativity and quantum

mechanics both use speed of light as a

starting point in other words they use

an exact measurement of the speed of

light without explaining why it is what

it is or why the universe even have a

speed limit in the first place we need a

new theory and such a theory is with the

physicists and mathematicians of quantum

gravity research in Los Angeles are

working on they call it emergency Rees

and it will really for the first time

ever provide an explanation for the

speed of light and the other constants

such as Planck's constant and the

fine-structure constant

basically what is needed is a theory of

everything a theory that explains the

very fundamental aspects of reality

string theory which once held a lot of

promise for possibly being a successful

theory of everything has not made any

successful predictions and regardless of

predictions the theory itself isn't

actually a theory of everything just not

because it can't explain the speed of

light or the other constants quantum

mechanics and general relativity on the

other hand do make good predictions but

they don't explain the fundamental

constants either

well fissile Einstein why does the speed

of light have the exact value that it

does then the foot is plainly so what

clues just nature offer us for what a

theory of everything should look like

we've identified seven information

causality loop non determinism

consciousness pixelation e8 crystal and

the golden ratio

a growing number of physicists are

saying reality is made of information

what does that even mean

well information is meaning in the form

of symbolism a language or code provide

this kind of information conveying

symbolism a very different type of

symbol is one that represents itself

geometric symbols can do that a cube

can represent love if we say it does or

it can represent really with minimal

subjectivity itself could there be a

language or code made out of geometry

what type of information would such a

language Express

quantum physics theory and classical

physics indicate that reality is made of

information and there is no evidence

that reality is made of anything other

than information many physicists agree

with this and many don't but those that

don't agree that reality is made of

information have no explanation for what

reality is if it's not information

gentlemen reality is made of information

hmm nope yes it is made of information

yeah okay so what if it's made of is not

information energy energy is information

extra energy is the potential for a

particle to change its position we can

julienne information every and

information group is information then

what is it not information and what I

did not information

realities is geometric a geometric

language in the form of geometric

symbolism the types of symbols that

represent themselves might explain how a

geometric reality can be made of pure

information

information implies meaning but what

means meaning is a comparative that's

what we do but we do it so fast we don't

realize we're doing it we look at

something and we might get something

from our database we say that is a

crosswalk that is a building not a

crosswalk that is a window not a

building so meaning is the perception of

something relative to something else

so therefore meaning is subjective and

requires choice Kumiko is traumatic

music

because meaning is suggested for it even

exists it needs to be perceived or

measured by some form consciousness

Einstein showed how the past and the

future exists simultaneously in one

geometric object so all time exists all

the time

let me say that again all time exists

all the time I know that sounds kind of

weird and unintuitive but we have to

kind of suspend our common sense and

accept that mathematically and according

to the best physics formulas we have

that actually makes sense so let's

visualize the geometric object that

Einstein spoke about at the block

remember the tetrahedron the building

blocks pixels of reality I told you

about now imagine the entire unit

everything everywhere in one frozen

moment in time

like a single string in a movie in this

one frame all of reality everywhere

appears frozen in this one position let

me give you an analogy in a movie shot

on 35 millimeter film there are 24

frames a second there is no actual

movement in a movie there is just a

sequence of crows and frames now

remember how I told you bout the Planck

length of space which is the smallest

length possible well there is also a

Planck length of time and it is much

shorter than 24 frames per second in

fact it's 10 to the 44 times shorter

than a second okay so back to our frozen

frame of reality the entire universe in

one frozen moment one frame but instead

of a frame in a movie it's a frame in

all of reality now imagine the next

frame each frame is different from the

previous one just like in a movie see

how all frames exists in Einstein

space-time all at once okay now here's

where things get really really weird we

assume that the past influences the

future that's how we appear to

experience reality but when you look at

the slock why would one side be the past

and one side be the future why go left

to right and not right to left why can't

the future influence the past I'd take

away the names past and future if that

helps you think of this concept so what

if the past influences the future and

the future influences the past in an

endless feedback see

so then the question is which parts of

the path is influencing which part of

the future and vice versa and the answer

is all time is expecting all times all

the time

hi then ate a drink just even possible

can may twenty years from now influenced

me now just as I influence her

so can me five minutes from now

influenced me ten minutes ago just as me

ten minutes ago

influences me as a baby just as me as a

baby influences me on my deathbed this

is too weird to even grasp so everything

we know says this is the way it is

am i stone okay so if every moment is

co-creating every other moment both

forward and backward in time then

reality would be this massive neural

network spanning space and time this

type of network would have one even way

stranger qualities of anything we talked

about so far it would be its own creator

but the fact that all time exists all

time does not mean that the future is

written in stone and we're some kind of

programmed animation or something

that's what we used to do some years ago

it was popular to believe me somewhat

bummer idea of reality being a

deterministic program plain is something

light is started by electrons bounce off

electrons the famous double slit

experiment ruled out determinism look it

up if you've never heard of it it's one

and is one of the cornerstone of modern

physics but for now take my word for it

cool is out determinate and ushered in a

new era of non determinant or basically

free will so how do free will work one

of the most surprising discoveries of

quantum physics is that reality only

exists when it is observed but literally

particles do not exist until they are

observed famous physicist John Wheeler

he's the guy who came up with the term

black hole says that reality is made of

information which is created by

observation the observation must be made

he says by something conscious and Nobel

prize-winner Frank will Chuck said that

quantum theory is contentious and

obscure and that it will remain that way

until someone constructs within the

formalism of quantum mechanics an

observer a model entity whose states

correspond to a recognizable caricature

of conscious awareness an entity an

observer so Frank will check is

basically talking about an entity not

necessarily a human being or an animal

that is capable of generating

information by observing and measuring

but what would that conscious entity be

well we definitely know the

consciousness exists in the universe I

mean at least enough humans right I mean

I'm conscious you're conscious he's

conscious I think I'm

[Music]

consciousness relates deeply to physics

in ways not yet fully understood

in fact consciousness is kind of like

one of the least understood things in

all of science nobody knows exactly what

it is weird right

so if reality is pure information if

everything energy matter thought if it's

all information then it becomes clear

that reality deeply ties into

consciousness in some way as if the

fundamental stuff of reality is somehow

consciousness did consciousness and

information somehow emerge in a

causality feedback loop German physicist

Werner Heisenberg developed the first

equations of quantum mechanics using a

type of math called

matrix theory he deduced that space and

time were pixelated into indivisible

three-dimensional Planck length units

just like the two-dimensional pixels on

your computer screen it's good to be

later speaks with the mathematics

indicated this mess perfect I love miss

Mantin you paper pencil and pizza Oh

pizza

there's debate relate to people and

interestingly there was no solid

experimental evidence for smooth in

other words not pixelated space-time you

are more on my bicycle

hey he's smooth there is no evidence of

that I was an asthmatic show it is

antics later on it must be pixelated all

that interesting

it must be pixelated obvious policies

policy is not on the other hand most

scientists agree that a length can be no

shorter than the Planck length which

suggests reality is pixelated there is

no length shorter than the prompt link

that means reality is pixelated

I'm not speculative I'm not good you're

kind of being a little like one of those

people who deny evolution because they

can't handle the fact the ancestors the

monkeys are you a monkey ha are you a

little monkey

we believe that until a quantum gravity

theory of pixelated space-time is

discovered the issue will remain

confusing for everyone

what type of geometric code would

describe a pixelated reality

80 years of smashing particles together

in particle accelerators such as the

famous Large Hadron Collider in Geneva

have given us a strange clue that all

the fundamental particles and forces

convert into one another like they

literally transform from one to the

other according to a process called

gauge symmetry transformation and all of

these conversions correspond to a shape

and not just any shape an eighth

dimensional shape now the shape forms a

crystal

now remember crystals are periodic

patterns of a certain shape like that

checkerboard is a 2d crystal made up of

squares so this crystal is of a

particular 8 dimensional shape and this

crystal is known as the e8 left to

generate that 3d quasicrystal the

substructure at the pixilated fabric of

reality we project this 8 D crystal to

40 and then we convert that to 3d now

just like the basic cell shape of the 3d

cubic lattice is the cube the cell shape

of the e8 lattice is an 8 D shape with

240 vertices we call it the gosset

polytope when the gosset polytope is

projected to 4d it becomes two identical

shapes of different sizes the ratio of

their sizes is a unique number 0.618

also known as the golden ratio

[Music]

the golden ratio may be the fundamental

constant of nature it is a ratio that is

fundamental to circumscribed equilateral

triangles and it's weirdly ubiquitous in

the universe appearing everywhere from

the quantum to celestial scales ever so

interestingly it appears in black okay

let's get serious for a second here are

three quick facts for you science heads

the golden ratio is the precise point or

a black holes modified specific heat

changes from positive to negative and it

is part of the equations for the lower

bound on black hole entropy the golden

ratio even relates the loop quantum

gravity parameter to black hole entropy

why does this support the claim that the

golden ratio is fundamental constant of

nature because a theory of everything

must unite general relativity with

quantum mechanics and a black hole is

where these two theories converge at

their limit okay so bear with me through

some really weird mouths right now and

I'll reward you with some amazing

footage of John Malkovich getting a pie

in the face there's a type of

mathematics called matrix mathematics

no type of matrix

[Music]

matrix map is the type of mask that

quantum physics uses in its formulas

without getting too technical this is an

example of a matrix a matrix is just a

group of numbers that are arranged in

columns and rows and there's a certain

amount of combinations for these numbers

inside the matrix like if a matrix has

four numbers inside it there are 24

different possible combinations for

those four numbers quantum mechanics

uses matrices that are binary so they

only contain various combinations of two

numbers each of these combinations of

numbers has a value it's called an Egon

value some Egon values are called

trivial these are values like 1 2 and 0

and some are called non-trivial and

those are all sorts of more complex

looking numbers so here's the

interesting part the death increases

first oh yeah here the highest

probability non-trivial Egon values that

show up in binary matrices are we ready

for this

the golden ratio and minus 1 over the

golden ratio so we now see a deep link

between black holes and quantum

mechanics because the golden ratio

appears deeply in both black hole

physics and in quantum mechanics

[Music]

okay the child ran with me so here's

your reward

john malkovich getting a pie in the face

no I don't know German hi the golden

ratio appears to startling accuracies in

many other ways throughout the universe

and scales both large and small it is so

prevalent that its existence simply

cannot be looked at as coincidental in

the past the appearance of this ratio

has usually been ignored by scientists

because they had no way to explain it so

interest in it was considered the stuff

of amateur scientists but now for the

first time a rigorous quantum gravity

theory is being developed which predicts

the golden ratios existence literally

everywhere so what would a theory of

everything look like that answers these

seven clues we just presented

information causality loops

non determinism consciousness pixelation

e8 crystal and the golden ratio so we

think reality is a mosaic like code or

language at the smallest scale of

reality possible which is called the

Planck length particle accelerator data

tells us that all particles and forces

relate to one another according to a

higher dimensional crystal called the e8

lattice but reality appears to be 3d so

we project a slice of this EA crystal

down to 3b

which produces a quasi crystal code or

language and that allows these geometric

symbols to build up to the ordinary

world of particles and forces that we

see around us now this geometric

language has rules but it also has

syntactical freedom like any language

and that requires some notion of a

chooser to choose the three steps in the

language now the notion of randomness

doesn't work so well when it comes to

codes because meaning starts to break

down besides there is no decent

her mental evidence for randomness in

nature in the first place a universal

collective consciousness is one answer

but that sounds new age and religious

now nowadays a good number of physicists

discussed the idea that our whole

universe is actually a code based

simulation in some fantastically

powerful quantum computer in another

universe now if true then by the same

logic that other universe where the

computer running the simulation of our

universes would also supposedly be a

simulation in another universe so the

idea is a little shaky but it's being

discussed seriously by a lot of credible

people but it turns out that a universal

collective like consciousness of some

sort maybe physically inevitable now we

don't need to anthropomorphize this idea

or make it religious or spiritual to

follow why let us start with the idea of

the collective behavior of cells in your

body each a single celled microbe living

its life a long time ago only this sort

of cellular life form existed here on

earth these little guys were not too

smart but they did choose what direction

to swim and could chase nutrients

reproduce and run from dangerous things

they made choices with their very simple

systems of environmental awareness and

desire to survive then they self

organised into colonies that were

smarter as a group and had more

environmental awareness than the

individuals

eventually animals such as humans

emerged sophisticated forms of awareness

and consciousness now float on an ocean

of 37 trillion living cells

self-organized as a human being it is

specifically the laws of physics that

caused electrons and quarks to

self-organize into 81 stable atoms and

from there into human consciousness and

physics places no upper limit on the

amount of energy and matter that can

self-organize into conscious systems

physics allows the possibility of all

the energy in the universe to eventually

convert into a single conscious system

that is itself a network of other

conscious systems a massive

technologically based collective

consciousness given enough time anything

that can happen will eventually happen

by this axiom this system of universal

consciousness has already emerged

somewhere in the frames of space-time

ahead of us because there's possible it

is inevitable in fact according to the

evidence of retro causality time loops

that inevitable future is co-creating us

right now just as we are co-creating it

when humanity discovers the theory of

everything it will usher in a new age of

prosperity for example clean cheap

energy leading to the eventual

elimination of poverty as a nonprofit

What Was The First Video Game You Ever Played? | Community Question Episode 8 | Backlog Battle - Duration: 11:41.

Hello everybody and welcome to this week's Community Question!

My name's Alex and I hope everyone had a great February!

It's crazy to think that we started this show a mere 7 weeks ago, but - here we are

- on the 8th episode!

I know I've said it last week, but I want to sincerely thank all of you - truly - from

the bottom of my heart - for commenting and subscribing to the channel.

It's always fun talking with you about your answers and all of us learning about each

other here, and I look forward to more interesting answers in the weeks to come!

Before we ask the Community Question this week, we'll need to read and reply to all

your answers from last week's question today!

For the people who missed it, last week's question was, "What are your most anticipated

games of 2018?"

There's been plenty of interesting answers from last week where people posted games and

weren't sure whether they'd come out in 2018 or not.

Because of the nature of the question, I'll try to give you their current release dates

whenever appropriate.

Got it?

Great!

Let's read your answers!

Detective Pikachu.

Finally, a Pikachu who can talk, investigate crimes, and drinks coffee.

I just wish Danny DeVito voiced Detective Pikachu.

And, also, Megaman 11.

I remember the petition (that I also signed, by the way) to have Danny DeVito voice Detective

Pikachu.

Think about how ridiculous - and maybe fitting? - he would sound!

Naturally, this never would've happened, but the sheer thought of hearing Danny DeVito

say, "Pika!

Pika!" in a gravelly voice sounds ridiculous.

Detective Pikachu is coming out March 23, 2018 in the US and Europe, so that checks

out!

Also, Megaman 11 is currently slated for 4th quarter 2018, per their announcement.

biophoenix writes:

I have a feeling it might come out this year, but that's Trails of Cold Steel III.

The stories in those games keep me wanting more.

Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2 for sure!

And I'll also mention Metroid Prime 4.

As of this recording, there haven't been any announcements made regarding Trails of

Cold Steel III's release in the west so, unfortunately, the game doesn't count.

That being said, I've seen some screenshots of the game and it looks really, really good.

Isn't Trails of Cold Steel a series you have to play from the beginning though?

I think that's the curse of putting a number in your title: you'll always have these

kinds of questions lingering.

And I think I'm not the only one here who's hoping that Metroid Prime 4 comes out this

year… but alas, there's no concrete details about it other than a logo showing intent.

Intent is everything, but there's not even gameplay.

I'm with you on Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2… though Kiwami 2 still has yet to be formally

announced for the west.

That said, I'm sure we'll hear about that and The Fist of the North Star Kiwami in the

very near future!

More on Yakuza 6 shortly!

Darkscream writes:

Since Dragonball Fighter Z and Monster Hunter World are already out, the last one left for

me is Yakuza 6.

The Backlog Battle community loves its Yakuza games, and the announcement of Yakuza 6 being

Kazuma Kiryu's last dance makes the game a must have.

Yakuza 6 was sadly delayed to April 17, 2018 in the US and Europe, but remember that the

demo is coming out this Tuesday on February 27.

You can carry the save over to the full game, once it's released, so none of the work

that you put into the demo will go to waste!

So mark the demo release date on your calendar and let's all get ready to send off Kiryu

in an amazing fashion come April!

CryMorGaming writes:

Detroit.

Detroit: Become Human has the potential to be a great game.

I say potential because David Cage hasn't been batting 1000 for a while.

I will say that the last game he made that I genuinely enjoyed was Indigo Prophecy, which

I played recently.

But despite promising a million different outcomes depending on your actions in Detroit:

Become Human, the game feels reigned in a little bit - like the game could work.

Most games with choices tend to be plagued with rudimentary nuances that matter so little

that they don't really affect much, but Detroit's investigative gameplay has some

real potential here.

And I can't wait to get my hands on the game whenever it comes out - sometime between

now and the end of June 2018, according to their last press release.

Terry309 writes:

Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord.

There's more to Terry309's comment about this game in the comments - more than what

I'm showing here - so I urge you to check it out if it sounds interesting.

But talking with him about the game, it feels like the real progression of the Dynasty Warriors

series (sorry Dynasty Warriors 9) where there's not only real-time combat, but also strategy

and RPG elements involved in a huge sandbox environment!

If this sounds like a great game to check out, Terry309's got a whole comment full

of details about the upcoming game… which seems to not have a release date.

But hey, the original is out at least!

The Golden Bolt writes:

I'm very excited for Mega Man 11, Spiderman, and a few others but really, what'll make

or break 2018 for me is what we see announced at/before E3!

We know Mega Man 11 will come out some time later in the year, but Spiderman… well…

we have a 2018 window?

I guess that's good enough.

That said, I share the same sentiments as Golden Bolt when he talks about E3 this year.

Will we see Cyberpunk 2077 at the big show?

How about Ghosts of Tsushima?

Either way, it's only a few months away!

Where has all this time gone, eh?

Matt Wheaton writes:

Dragon Quest XI, Red Dead Redemption 2, Ni No Kuni 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 6, and Shin

Megami Tensei V.

I don't think Cyberpunk 2077 and Shin Megami Tensei V are coming out this year.

In fact, I think Shin Megami Tensei V just started development based off of a recent

interview!

And judging by The Witcher 3's slow press cycle trickle, we might see Cyberpunk at E3,

but we probably won't see it released until a year or two after that.

The Witcher 3 was shown to the press in June 2013 behind closed doors (I was there), and

the game officially came out in May 2015.

Believe me - I wish this weren't the case.

That said, Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming out on the anniversary date of the gunfight

at the O.K. Corral - October 26, 2018 - and Dragon Quest XI is allegedly coming out in

the U.S. and Europe in 2018.

I want to see more of Dragon Quest XI, quite frankly.

They've been super quiet about that game out here.

And lastly, Ni No Kuni 2 - scheduled for March 23, 2018 for the U.S. and Europe.

I have the original game on my backlog.

Maybe I should finish that game first...

Bufudyne writes:

Kirby: Star Allies, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, Shin Megami Tensei V

I've omitted "new Yoshi game" and "Devil May Cry 5" because they're rumors and,

as I mentioned in the previous episode, breaks the rules of this week's question.

As far as Kirby: Star Allies and Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes are concerned, the latter

had a target release date of "early 2018," which implies it should come out between now

and the end of March.

That said, I actually think it's still coming out in 2018 - just not in this window.

The former is scheduled to come out March 16, 2018.

That actually makes me think - I haven't played a Kirby game in a long while.

Maybe I'll pick this one up!

Max Phillips writes:

Brave Earth Prologue is the game I'm most looking forward to.

I'm a huge fan of I Wanna Be The Guy and from following Kayin, I can really tell he

knows his shit when it comes to Metroidvanias.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Kayin on the Backlog Battle Podcast and it was super

fun talking to him about video games, backyard wrestling, and making I Wanna Be The Guy and

Brave Earth Prologue.

As a fellow Metroidvania connoisseur, I'm very much looking forward to Brave Earth Prologue

myself and I hope it comes out soon.

you'll never know if they're a YouTuber or not!

Every adventure requires a first step, trite but true, even here.

Those were the words said by the Cheshire Cat in American McGee's Alice.

In everything you want to do, taking the first step is always the most important.

Many of us learned this by playing video games, and we've all established our styles of

play based on how we solve various challenges in video games - our first steps into worlds

beyond our childhood.

Which then begs the question...

What is the first video game you ever played?

If you don't really remember what it is, you can name several that you do remember

playing.

Take the time to think what it really is and tell us your memories of playing the game.

While you're thinking about this - and I really think you should - I'll give you

mine.

On the podcast, it's well known that I've said that Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! was the

game that introduced me to video games.

After much contemplation, I found that not to be the case.

It actually started earlier than that, when my uncle showed me Enduro Racer on the Atari

2600.

It wasn't much of a looker, but the fact that I was able to move the car on screen

using a goofy looking joystick made me feel like, for the first time, I was controlling

the TV!

Being inexorably tied to the TV experience became interesting to me, but it wasn't

until a time later when I'd be able to indulge in this almost every day.

You see, in the 80s my grandmother bought a bunch of cocktail table arcade machines

and set up an arcade right next to a university.

The government deemed this to be predatory in nature - as they claimed the business was

preying on the nickels and dimes of the students at the school - so my grandmother gave away

the cocktail tables with the last remaining one being sent to my home.

The game was Galaga.

Now, I had to look this up because I always confuse Galaxian with Galaga.

But I always remember how sharp the lines were of the ship that I was controlling - it

was almost a perfect triangle - and how I'd always let my ship get captured so I could

basically recapture it again and have two shots going at the same time.

Just thinking about it is exhilarating to me, and while Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! is

something I'll always consider as ahead of the curve, Galaga has that special trigger

that makes me think of happier, simpler gaming days.

And that's my pick for the first video game I've ever played!

What If Jason Voorhees Was Real? - Duration: 4:37.

Jason Voorhees.

Mr Friday the 13th.

A spooktacular superhuman villain with mummy issues and a vendetta against all camp dwellers.

Jason, Jason, Jason.

What a pest.

Luckily he is consigned only to horror movies… but what if he wasn't?

Hello and welcome back to Life's Biggest Questions.

I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I am asking What if Jason Voorhees was real.

Before we get started – I just want to ask you guys to hit that thumbs up button if you

like our content and to leave us a comment to let us know what you think the world would

be like if Mr Voorhees was real.

So, a little back story on the bad lad….Jason was deformed, bullied and drowned in a lake.

Sucks to be Jason, basically.

Jason's mother then went in a rampage, killing bullies and causing chaos til she was killed

too by some classic decapitation.

Little did she know, that Jason miraculously survived his drowning and lived rudimentary

shelter in the woods until he re-emerged some 20 years later.

Classic Jason…only this time he was back with vengeance.

Chip off the 'ole block.

Oh and then he got struck by lightning and became invincible.

Right… sure… but what if all this was legit and somehow chappy boy was out there?

Well let me tell you.

First up, you are going to want to avoid Camp Crystal Lake, the scene of the drowning and

hotspot for the killings.

Jason and his overbearing mother seem to have an issue with the place and are hell bent

on killing most happy campers to grace the grounds.

So….there is a Camp Crystal Lake in Florida, so maybe steer clear, even though I don't

think this is THE Crystal Lake of the movies, which was filmed at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco in Hardwick

New Jersey.

Camping is fun, so I wouldn't advise against all camping in case of running into our mate

Jas, but maybe just carry some bear spray so you can blind him for a bit should he come

for you.

Are you a bully, or a stereotypical bad teenager?

You might want to avoid that, too.

Drinking, drugs, premarital sex?

If the movies are anything to go by, this is the kinda stuff that will get you killed

by Jason.

There are a few angles we could take with Jason, if he were real, although most of them

involve finding and capturing him.

The question is, do we lock him up and throw away the key, do we sentence him to death,

as is still legal in some states, or do we study him.

I'd go for a hearty combo of study and contain.

Jason is seemingly indestructible, he survived a drowning saga and then got struck by lightning

and became arguably superhuman…scientifically, we have a lot to learn from him.

I also think it would be of benefit to conduct a few psychological studies a la mindhunter,

because he clearly has some learned behaviour issues…perhaps we could get a little closer

to studying how a monster is made.

I guess the issue here is capturing him.

Over the course of 11 movies, spanning 30 off years, he has evaded capture.

Can he even be captured?

Would he even be safe in a jail?

Would he kill all of the correctional officers?

I am thinking our only option is just to shoot him into space.

If space doesn't kill him, maybe he can be quelled by a constant state of floating.

Let's hope no aliens intercept him though, I am not sure they would be too pleased with

their gift basket from the earthlings.

Seriously, though, if Jason Voorhees was real, he would be the most prolific known American

Serial Killers of all time, a title that currently goes to Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer,

the truck painter who confessed to killing 71 people, and is suspected of murdering a

possible 90.

Jason has a movie kill total of around 146 people…although surprisingly this isn't

enough to gain him the title of most prolific serial killer in the world – that would

be Luis Garavito who killed 300 children.

He is currently in jail, although his release date in 2021 is approaching.

I guess my point being here is that, actually, in some ways, Jason Voorhees is real.

The world wouldn't change too much if Mr Friday the 13th continued his killing spree.

There are monsters just like him or worse out there, and it is our job to identify and

stop them.

So, that is one fanciful question answered for you there….. do you agree?

What would you do if Jason Voorhees was real?
