Still, the universe only contains so much energy. There is a limit to the number of computations that can be done, and only a tiny percent of those can be allocated to our simulation.
- kbenson 10y agoWhat makes you assume that a simulated universe has to match the base universe in every respect? It's entirely possible that the simulations, including us if we're in one, are running an extremely constrained version of the real universe, however many levels removed it is.
- Houshalter 10y agoWell then that's not "turtles all the way down", it's just turtles 2 levels down. Second, the simulation argument is about our own universe someday making simulated realities. Assuming we are being simulated by a radically different universe is entirely different.
