Well that solves the age old question about trees falling in forests :-)
- rbanffy 7y agoThat's a poorly implemented universe. Unless information propagates, it didn't happen ;-) You could always fast forward the current state when the first external observer arrives. But I get there are time constraints - you can't just stop the real universe until it converges to a consensual state.
- lifeisstillgood 7y agoThis does bother me about the whole "likely we are living in the matrix" thing. If we want to design a universe that does not waste a lot of processing power we need to do things like have a speed of light limitation (keep it fairly slow too). But the sensible idea is to only process lazily - don't calculate till the observer observes - but it is very much like a dependency hell.
- m463 7y agoI think they need to implement a tree tree. So if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, it won't hit the sound code or the display code.
