The thing that always makes me think I'm in a simulation is when somebody tries to explain to me quantum physics. From a simulator's perspective quantum physics may be the tool that efficiency possible. What I mean is that, like in a computer game, quantum physics may be responsible for only calculating the n-dimensional space that is currently in use. In a game we also try to only load into memory those parts that are currently required for gameplay in order to be efficient. Just a thought.
- WClayFerguson 6y agoI think the reason Physics (call it God, or Simulator, or whatever) uses Quantum Mechanical uncertainty (Probability Wave Functions) is because the number PI would take infinite time and storage space to compute. Not even God can compute the number because it is not 'representable' even with infinite memory. And every calculation involving particle trajectory involves PI. So what "nature" does instead of computing it is to create a function that represents it, and then solves the function later on 'on demand' with whatever accuracy there is, which is definitely finite.
