What means “exist"? For Réne Descartes that word means thinking, but what that means for bugs or computer programs? Those things also exist, but the last one has no physical form, so should we think that existing or being needs the physical form of the material. And if we want to put the challenge too great Réne Descartes we must ask what is the sleeping person? Is this person lost the existence because this person sleeps? The form of the existence is the very old question. Some philosophers have written that they have thought if the humans and Universum exist only in some computers databases, and the argument for that thesis is that the universe is too ordered to be spontaneously created.
In the lone houses were sit long period to think, what means the world "exist", and then we must think that does the existence means that every particle in the universe must have some rights? Do the stones need rights because they exist? Or they are excited if some überphilosopher will strike their toe to that stone. Or does the thing exist if they are the thoughts in my head?
Those are quite exciting questions, what gives the bread and butter for some philosophers. Every philosopher in the world is some kind of strange because those people are professional thinkers, who do not need to prove their words by the empirical way like "real scientists", who operate with kinetic things. Philosopher can let their mind fly, and that makes them very hard to fall. The atomic model where the material could be brake until it cannot anymore divide is functional even today, even if Aristoteles made that model over 2300 years ago. The names of those particles have changed as the bosons and electrons.
But there is still the point, where the particles of material cannot divide until there will build the new particle accelerator, what will bring to our eyes even smaller more high energical and short aged particles than Higgs bosons ever can be. But that means that there must build the new accelerator, what uses more electric power and more powerful magnetic fields than "The Hadron" accelerator in CERN uses.
And those modern philosophers think that Universum is the central computer, what have this reality in it mass memories. If we will start to let our mind fly, we must say that if we are some bytes in the computer memory, that will explain the Holy Bible extremely well. If we would be part of some computer program, that will give many explanations about the thing, what we are calling as “the reality". Of course, this is only thinking, but if we are living in the memory of the supercomputer, we must make the question, what would be the purpose of this computer.
And why there is the program like this. Then we must go to the toilet and begin the second part of thinking about the reality, and the purpose of existing. Why are we exist is the main question of philosophy? What is the reason, why we are living? If we are asking this from the person, who lived in the Medieval time, this person would say that the purpose of life is to serve the king.
But then we must ask what is the purpose of the life of the king? If this person answers that serving the God is the purpose of the life of the king, we must ask does the king probably know the god, or how this person knows how to serve the master? Does this man got some rules about the way of serving this creature, what normal people would not meet until at the gates of Heaven.
But when we are thinking about the technology, we must say, that the reality is what we want it is, and this would give some Scifi-writers the ideas, that the human been is actually sleeping in some spaceships hypothermal coffin and all the things, what will happen in that virtual space, will make to please the journey of those travellers. In those very nice fictionary books those space travelers are connected with the spaceships central computer and those travelers would give their brain capacity for that imaginational mission.
The brains what were connected to the central computer would give the productivity and imagination for the use of those computers. That would be the very good choice when somebody wants to create computer what really can think. This system would give the computer the capacity to imagine the things, and if the computer can create something new, would that make the mission easier. In some books, that kind of trip was already made, and the solution how the organization could hide that action was that they cloned those persons, who will go to space. That would be cover the trip to the distant target.
