Professor, if you can make a whole simulated universe, isn't it possible that our own universe is also a simulation?
Absolutely not! You sound like a stoned freshman!
I mean, what if our laws of physics are just the computer code of some big brilliant professor playing god up there?
Nailed it!
Hm. Quantum mechanics is pretty ridiculous, but it's a moot point. Even if we are living in a simulation, there's no possible way of knowing. [...]
If our universe is a simulation, then it's running on some kind of computer, right? [...] Suppose we made something happen that was impossible for that big computer to simulate.
It would overload! [...]
Probably stuff would pixelate and look weird!
The laws of physics would fail!
Like playing a new video game on a crummy underpowered game system!
