Since I've been playing No Mans Sky I've been giving this some thought. We could all be just on one random planet in a universe of 15 quintillion stars in a less buggy version of NMS which would probably have more stars too, maybe it's running on a PS5 or PS6! It answers questions about the universe too: 1, why are we here because we are, out of every possible planet, everything came together on this one to form life 2, meaning of life there is none, you're just a random creation (the meaning of the simulation might be different, but there's probably a good chance it's just 'because we could') If you took conways game of life, on the scale of NMS and added basic physics (as we understand it) and then just let it run for a while, time for us just stops everything happening at once, for a computer program that isn't being observed it could run way faster, it's possible that this simulated universe could evolve faster than the actual universe it's being simulated in. If the people running the simulation could interact with us - and presuming they could even find us in an entire simulated universe -they could get access to advanced tech that hasn't developed in their real world yet. The real questions would be if it is a simulation, could we get out into the 'real' world? Is our consciousness actually real or are we just thinking it's real?
