A time machine that could actually deliver and tell us who would win mythical match ups... Is it more of a reality than we think?!

[Anthony342]

Lets just load our data! I don't think Quantum Computers deal with negative numbers so Queenies IQ might be a problem....

Or why not get an actual time machine built, go into it, bring these fighters back and have them face each other? That's really the only way we can tell who wins. That's why we sometimes have upsets in sports. It's why they fight the fights.

- -Hello Kittybilleau been on the disabled list since being flattened by an auto, truck, or scooter, I never got he remembered the details.

Anyway, he'll be seen as a sage in Quantum development too early in the game to prevent getting run over when it counted. Such is the timing of life. Eli Whitney barely made more than a few spare dimes on his cotton gin before the big boys moved in, but he later made a fortune in war munitions by standardizing part sizes in a mass production scale that has given us ever more peace and prosperity since then...

Back on ignore we go...

BUT... what if your program predicted the upsets? Im talking like program in Mike Tyson and seeing what the Douglas fight looks like... Its hard to imagine but with enough data about every possible thing Douglas beating Tyson has a certain probability of happening and... can be predicted. Not by us, and the amount of data to do so would be extraordinary. I don't know if its possible but it seems like its closer to being possible with the new methods in computers that are being prepared.

If it was accurate, you'd most likely see that most mythical matchups end up being split more often than not. For example, simulate SRR vs SRL 100 times, and I bet neither wins more than 70 times. Meaning that youd have a 30% chance of seeing the fighter who showed to be consistently worse actually winning the fight. There is a lot of random variation that goes into the final outcome of things, especially when you take into account all the variables.

Thats why most simulations show results for upwards of 1,000 runs.

Thats part of it... You run the fight thousands? Millons of times even...And you get a probability, eventually you get a most likely winner. If you backtested on fights we know and this was accurate... Its really scary actually. As Pep said... you can start predicting almost everything.

Quantum computers will revolutionize artificial intelligence. It will do so by maxing out howmuch data we can crunch, making present computers glorified calculators. We often speak of matching fighters to see who would have won, we lament that we cannot do so... BUT we may have an option to do this after all!

because of the sheer number of data we will be able to crunch we can literally create the fighters and use predictive programming/probability to have them make decisions that they would make if they were still fighting... with quantum computers we can have a volume of data including everything from what age they were toilet trained, to when they would feint an opponent. And we have the means of proving this is so, easily... before ever putting on a mythical match up...

Its simple: create the program, and back test it using its predictive powers on fights we know the result of. When the program is right everytime, there is no reason to assume it would not be right on a hypothetical fight! So we use the program to predict every fight Floyd has had so far... we do this with 20 other fighters... and when it bats 100... Then we can ask things like "pep against mayweather" etc.

Thoughts?

NSB already made a Time Machine and it was in regular use up until about 2015. I got pissed off with all the *******s taking the fun out of debating fantasy matchups though, so I stole it. It's rusting in my back garden as we speak, right next to my cement mixer and a bulk bag of sharp sand.

It turns out that a prime Floyd Patterson would whip all the other heavyweights the same day! Provided he fell into a cement mixer and was given bionic man reconstruction!

Modern science can do it. They have the technology.

OK if we are going to go full alien space bats . . . what if Ali is abducted and analy probed by aliens and consequently develops an inside game. He would be unbeatable. Will your computer adjust for alien interventions?

More importantly (not) what about ancient aliens, will your computer tell us if the nerd white guy with the Don King hair has been right all along?
