What if the universe is a simulation?

[Ash]

Our universe has tiny voxels (Planck volumes) and "ticks" (Planck time). We observe all sorts of weird things we can't really explain unless everything was being simulated. Dark energy makes no sense. Quantum uncertainty could be a form of optimization; don't render any object unless someone is actively looking at it. Video games do that already.
And then there is quantum error correction.

there is no way to tell because if we are a simulation then it's mean we have no Idea how far and advanced the real world technology is like.

If this is a simulation why can't they simulate cool stuff like Star fighters and time travel and jetpacks?

They literally created a simulation so boring that the people in the simulation created video games to simulate a cooler reality.

idk

i think

computers, the internet, smart phones, etc are causing brain damage all across the world

but this sounds so cool "quantum uncertainty"

Im gonna start using that one.

This one too "quantum error"

maybe that's the point , they wanted to see what we would do when we get bored.

“We can’t explain this unless everything’s being simulated” is just a bad sci-fi version of ‘god of the gaps’.

The whole simulated-universe idea is useless. Can’t be tested, doesn’t predict anything. It’s fluff.

Technologically speaking, I feel like we've peaked. It feels like technology hasn't really made any significant advances, Manned space exploration only goes as far as Earth's orbit.

There is plenty out there left for humanity achive but I dont ever think we will because there's hardly a drive or motivation to do so anymore.

Don't care.

[Spirit]

it could very well be because there must be something outside the universe too

Well then, let the modding commence!

It doesn't change a damn thing.

Well I have my theory about the simulated universe. Imagine a entity Dad who has his universe model like a trainset in his holiday home basement to chill with. He normally keeps his door shut, but this one time he left it open. There was a house party and his kids and friends got high played at Gods had thunderbolt fights and parted seas. So the Dad comes back early a few thousand years catches the kids messing about. Well to make sure it doesn't happen again upgrades the security on the door. No more gods no more miracles no more magic.

No matter whatever it is, it sucks, right?

Indeed.
If it's simulation it only tells the one who made it, sucks at it.

[Holografix]

a simulation of what?

Not really this could be one of many simulations running at the same time.

I think our simulation got patched for realism, because poof no gods, no miracles, no magic, anymore.
