UBC researchers claim the universe can’t be a simulation, citing math that proves reality goes beyond computation and algorithmic logic.

And here I was waiting to get unplugged, or maybe finding a Nokia phone that received a call.

    Our brains build a model of the world inside of our head, that’s what we experience.

    Those same processes can generate output that isn’t there, we can hallucinate. This is what we’re doing when we’re dreaming. We’re not simulating a world it is computationally impossible.

    To perfectly simulate a volume the size of your bedroom for even a few minutes would take millions of years of compute time. That is not happening inside your brain.
