I've always found this notion to be a bit ridiculous and don't understand why it gets so much traction. Every time the LHC or CERN smash particles together, there's some software somewhere generating all the subatomic particles and their interactions? Or there's some program busily conjuring up fake input for everything the JWST, or any other telescope, looks at? Or every microscopic observation, every chemical reaction or physical process is an elaborate simulation?
