Always wondered, if our universe was a simulation, maybe the inherent randomness of quantum mechanics is a deliberate optimization, so it doesn't have to store the state beyond certain resolution. This is of course couch mental wandering, but imagine if quantum computers are powerful because they're a sandbox escape, directly using resources from the host.
If advanced quantum computers start draining too much resources, said higher entity might notice and decide to stop the simulation.
- pyinstallwoes 4y agoThat’s exactly how many 3D games are rendered. You don’t render scenes not within the field of view and draw distance of the frame.
- sliken 4y agoThe quantum uncertainty principal and the speed of light are quite convenient if you are trying to efficiency simulate a universe without infinite computational power.
- Ancalagon 4y agoExcept the speed of light is actually pretty small on absolute terms. Modern computers can imagine much larger numbers and have no problem utilizing them. Edit: or maybe the speed of light is actually represented in Planck lengths/planck times in the 4D simulation computers O.o
