I must object. Our current models of physics can be simulated. But we cannot model what we do not understand, such as quantum gravity. And even then, we don't even have that many decimal places for certain bits of our models.
- zeroonetwothree 3y agoBy definition the universe can “simulate” itself. Although it’s true we have no proof that this doesn’t go beyond Turing machine in power (yet it’s a reasonable assumption). Of course the goal of physics is to compress the universe into simpler laws. But there’s no inherent reason that it should be possible.
