Well... what kind of evidence could demonstrate a universe isn't simulated?
Continuousness, perhaps, but I don't think it is possible to prove that a universe isn't discrete unless you can measure with infinite precision. Even if it was possible, a simulation could certainly be continuous with the proper hardware. Similarly, a real universe certainly could be non-continuous, so I don't think the question is even relevant either way.
- theoh 11y agoI think you may be missing the point of that specific statement. It's conceivable that we might discover that we are living in a simulation. On the other hand, trying to prove conclusively that we're not is futile.
