Assuming we live in a simulation, at which layer are we ?
Assuming we live in a simulation, at which layer are we ?
I think you know the simulation hypothesis. Our universe could be a simulation created by... well, let's call them "gods".
But, if the simulation continue, we, humans, may reach the point where we could create a simulation of our own universe. In which, the simulated people would reach the point where they simulate their universe, etc...
So, as a corollary, it is not possible to simulate the entire universe, because this imply simulating an infinity of entire universe. It is only possible to simulate a simpler, smaller universe at each "layer".
So my question, are we at the top of the stack, or at the bottom ? Which would imply a much bigger and much more complexe universe above us.
You're viewing a single thread.
The fact that light speed is actually the speed of causality is pretty compelling evidence that our universe is a simulation and that’s the clock speed of the CPU or the set simulation speed…
That being said, I think it’s more fucked than that. The simulation could be more recursive and fractal. Like, some universe can be a projection of another universe that’s projected by another universe, but somehow you land back to itself.
If we do the analogy with CPU, then plank time is CPU clock, and plank length the discretisation of field, a bit like floating point precision. At each clock, causality influence the cell next to her.
But in this case, why the universe so huge and why speed of light so slow ?
I mean, speed of light is fucking slow compared to universe, but quite instantaneous at our scale. It seems like the simulation has been designed to work well at our scale. So, are we the subject of the simulation, or an unexpected side effect ?
Im in the camp that god is an nth dimensional programmer and we are the expirament.
I like the fractal idea. In the end it's just a question of taste imo
