This argument breaks down if we consider that we don't know anything about the "host" universe.
It is as if Minecraft beings reasoned that it would be impossible to simulate them, as the redstone circuits required would be much larger than the observable universe. Which is fine, except we have nanoscale transistors.
- planck01 11y agoMinecraft is many orders of magnitude less complex than our universe. We could be in a simulation, but then the parent universe would be orders of magnitude more complex and we would not be a significant simulation of a civilization's past as the original argument goes. Of course we might be entertainment, but to explain this universe you would then have to explain the way more complex universe in which we run. We cannot proof this is not so, but now it seems pretty similar to the god hypothesis.
