Cliff PervoSCARY @pervocracy.bsky.social · 04/08/2026physics constraints? you mean the ones you learned about here, inside the simulation? (I don't really believe that, it's just the smartass answer) 380 0
Skeletor Capital @skelecap.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Sure but now you‘ve increased the bar to a simulator being in a higher dimensional space with very different laws of physics so they don‘t need to use a black hole to handle the lowest rez version of our shared experience. That is less plausible than just this being a physical universe. 231 0
Skeletor Capital @skelecap.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Or at least marginally less so. Eventually it becomes about what the empirical evidence suggests. The higher the spec of the machine to simulate us becomes, the less likely it becomes. 010 0
Quantian @quantian.bsky.social · 04/08/2026There is a very famous paper by Max Tegmark that argues the universe “must” have 3+1 dimensions, because if you try to solve a laplacian in 4+ space dimensions you can’t get stable orbits so particles can’t form, and in 2+ time dimensions relativity breaks down and you can time travel 180 0
