I wonder about that frequently. The universe 'executes' physics in, as far as I can tell, a realtime basis (at least within the local reference frame). What is that called as compared to computing a model of the same.
- wanderingstan 3y agoOf course for you it feels like realtime, because the physics of “you” are being executed on the same “system”. It’s funny to think that if we are living in a simulation, that the machine we’re running on might have horrible uptime, but we’d never know because our “time” only works when the machine is running!

- chaboud 3y agoWhy do you think time dilation needs to occur in our simulation? Be it from instance-shard transition due to cell crossing (special relativity) or inter-node lag due to spatial density (general relativity), system design constraints dictated the very rules of our “physical” existence. (Poe’s Law notice: yes, I’m joking)
