The trick is to come up with a probabilistic model for how they could have implemented this simulation that we're in, assuming that we are simulated. Is there a way to exploit the simulation? If I were to create a simulated universe, the program would have assertions that test for an interesting condition. (Say, if the simulated humans can achieve X, then break, and print a stack trace so we can study what lead to X) When the universe simulator breaks, does that cause a perceivable difference for us, the simulated? Not necessarily. We would never experience such a break because by definition there is nothing to experience. We can exploit the program if it is likely that the simulation program includes glitches. There are likely to be glitches if certain computations are innately difficult to do (e.g. NP hard?) so our simulation architects had to "hack" an estimation. For example, the strangeness of quantum mechanics may be just a poor (albiet optimized) implementation of newtonian mechanics.
