Before calling it fake, check Japan’s Himawari-8/9 satellite a real Earth-observing satellite that captures full-disk images of our planet every 10 minutes using official space-based imaging, not weather predictions.

This is actual satellite imagery from space… sometimes Earth just looks so unreal that people forget reality can be more stunning than CGI

Fake. This is just a picture of earth. You could never fit the real earth into a jpg because it's made of rocks and dirt and stuff.

You know how Quantum Field Theory suggests that everything is a field at the smallest possible levels? The idea that everything exists “on average,” because quantum fluctuations are constantly… well, fluctuating?

What if that evidences the idea that you don’t need solid matter in order to produce solid matter? What if you can just simulate emergent relationships from the bottom all the way up? At the bottom, it’s just bits. Kind of like how, at our bottom, it’s just fields.

Then, in that reality, maybe you can put the Earth in a jpg. To its human occupants, they’d have no way of knowing.

You can tell because of the way it is.
