Pretty sure under our current understanding of physics, it's impossible to simulate a universe like our own within our own.
- worldsayshi 14y agoYes, this. I take it that the amount of inverse entropy is always diminishing. In order to fully simulate a universe with the same amount of entropy^-1 we need at least as much as we had at the initial moment. But entropy^-1 will always decrease.
- learc83 14y ago>impossible to simulate a universe like our own within our own Impossible to perfectly model a universe, but not impossible to simulate something that looks like a tiny part of a universe.
- thret 14y agoI imagine it would be like a computer game, where you only had to simulate the universe from the point of view of the user. This would fit nicely with the Copenhagen interpretation.
- robryan 14y agoYeah, I am thinking about the Trueman show, around him the simulation is very detailed and polished. The further he is away though from a part of the world the less simulation effort that is being made.
