🧵 So, is the moon there when nobody looks?

In the video game it wouldn't be rendered, right? Or maybe it would. Probably depends on the game.
But there are so many people out there. Someone is watching moon all the time.
I wonder how many people right now are watching Jupiter. It can't be that many. Neptune, even less.
And yet these planets have enormous amount of details to them, their own atmoshpere, moons, it doesn't make much sense from a simulation standpoint to throw so many resources at them.

Anyway: something is there but if no conscious being is looking then that something doesn't look like anything. Also Berkeley:
There was a young man who said "God
Must find it exceedingly odd
To think that the tree
Should continue to be
When there's no one about in the quad."
Reply:
"Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd;
I am always about in the quad.
And that's why the tree
Will continue to be
Since observed by, Yours faithfully, God."

why does it appear like it was for a long time and not for a way shorter time? if there was nobody seeing it back when it formed?

What planets are there and what is their gravity?

Their simulation is based off a function of the main programming trunk to offload new calculation. This is why the craters on the moon are actually just transformed continents.

Have a look at George Berkeley. Basically only things that we see exist and so there must be a God watching everything anytime.

oh, how convenient.

you assume sight is the only thing requiring "rendering."
no, for physics to work, the moon must maintain its gravitational effects and everything else it does to continue validating our physics theories

Well yeah, like with the Sun, w can all not look at it (I imagine not many do since its basically impossible) but we would still see the light and feel its warm.
And its basically required to exist in some form to keep solar system in place.

Is there a way to measure the mass of the moon and how fast the orbital distance between earth and moon is growing every year?

Foveated rendering / LOD
Huuurrr.
