In context of scientific debate, no Simulation theory exists. Only hipothesis, and a very weak one, considered it’s not falsifiable. Hence its treatment as curiosity and thought experiment by scientific community.
Your hypothesis needs to meet some requirements in order to be scientifically viable to research. You cannot throw out scientific method out of window because it appears „close-minded” to you.
Until proof appears that singularity is not errasing information, scientific approach is to find a proof that there’s no singularity as threshold between old and new universe within a cycle. And argument for that is currently based on interpretation of some features pf cosmic background, which is scientifically debated.
- nwienert 6y agoThere are definite ways to test for versions of simulations, but the point is thinking outside the box and then working your way back to scientific hypothesis you can test is the scientific process. You could make many testable predictions based on many different simulated universe hypothesis. Not to get even stuck on one example, my point was general that we cant know there aren't wildly unintuitive universe structures.
