"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable." – from The Restaurant at the end of the Universe.

- antimagic 12y agoI often think about that quote when I'm thinking about the universe as being a simulation in someone's computer somewhere. So imagine us clever little monkeys on the inside, have been probing the behaviour of the simulator by conducting science experiments. We're basically conducting targeting fuzzing of the simulator, which probably results in quite a few bugs going off. At which the compsci student running the simulation sighs, corrects the bug, and launches the simulation again.
