Reality Is Too Complex For Any Cosmic Computer Simulation, Study Suggests

From [HERE] How do we know we’re not living in a computer simulation? Is it even possible to tell? For what it’s worth, researchers have drawn from various scientific frameworks to reject this hypothetical hypothetical reality—and a team of mathematicians now says they’ve taken the argument a step further.

In a Journal of Holography Applications in Physics study published earlier this year, researchers demonstrated that, assuming the universe runs purely on mathematics and physics, it would be impossible for any algorithm to simulate reality as we know it. This is because the universe exists “on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm,” the researchers explained in a statement.

“Drawing on mathematical theorems related to incompleteness and indefinability, we demonstrate that a fully consistent and complete description of reality cannot be achieved through computation alone,” Mir Faizal, a physicist at the University of British Columbia in Canada, added in the statement.
