Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a computer simulation.
What is the ‘Simulation Hypothesis?’The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than an idle science fiction thought experiment.
As its name implies, quantum gravity seeks to unify the theories of gravity and quantum physics without ignoring either’s effects.
Most recently, Vopson proposed that gravity itself may prove we really are in a computer simulation.
It could be that the underlying mechanics of our simulation aren’t limited by the speed of light or standard particle physics behavior.
