Physicists find we’re not living in a computer simulation

So the Universe is the smallest "computer" that can simulate a Universe?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Really? Then this green symbols I see from time to time are not the matrix? Maybe I should not stare at the sun so long ;P ;P :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Odd that they only consider our technology capability. It's rather ignorant to assume humans would simulate human life. If this were a simulation, it's likely done by creatures studying something with better technology.
Never seen [The Sims](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Sims), eh?

Are they sure about that? somehow I get the feeling that whoever is running the simulation might be on to us...

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Actually, they're considering fundamental mathematical principles of computability as applied to particle physics and quantum states - nothing to do with our technology.

I believe you're right! :laugh:

In this universe. Who's to say whether the same rules apply outside of our simulation? :-D

My thoughts exactly, when I read the article. If we are in a simulation, how could we possibly know any rule or law outside of it?
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.

> Ringel and Kovrizhi showed that attempts to use quantum Monte Carlo to model systems exhibiting anomalies, such as the quantum Hall effect, will always become unworkable. All that proves is that the simulation has a bug. ;)
