Imagine the quality of simulated worlds a hundred years from now. Even if we do hit the limits of physics in physical reality I think virtual reality could be limited only by our imaginations.
- jacquesm 7y agoBy that standard science fiction should qualify as science. It doesn't. Simulated worlds physical reality is about as relevant as what your average 70's sci-fi writer could cook up. As long as those ideas are feasible (say: communications satellites) we may end up with some progress but only where it connects to the real world.
- krapp 7y agoVirtual reality is also limited by physics, because it requires hardware, energy and transmission which are least limited by thermodynamics, quantum effects and the speed of light. In the case of a simulated reality, physics becomes metaphysics, but it still always applies.
