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.

    Well, ”computer” in the mathematical sense is well defined of what it can and cannot do. The limit is the halting problem or equivalent problems.

    The question is: is there some equivalent to the halting problem in the real universe? If that’s the case, then there’s no algorithm you can use to describe the entire universe.
