In virtual reality, this limit would correspond to the speed limit of the processor or the processing power limit. We know that an overloaded processor slows down computer processing in a simulation.

Instead, a computer simulation performs calculations on a “lattice” — a set of points, all very close together, to approximate laws that actually operate at infinitesimally short distances.

“There’s a one in a billion chance that this is reality.” – Elon Musk There is a growing school of thought in the scientific community that we are all living inside a computer simulation ...

Do we live in a computer simulation like in The Matrix? My proposed new law of physics suggests so Some scientists suggest that if our reality is a simulation there may be glitches within the ...

Some experts think we are living in a computer simulation and that our reality is instead like a video game. But could we ever know for sure?

In the beginning, someone booted up a computer. Everything we see around us reflects states of that computer. We are artificial intelligences living in an artificial reality — a “simulation.” ...

Googling the term “ simulation hypothesis ” returns numerous results that debate whether the universe is a computer simulation —a concept that some scientists actually take seriously.
