Simulation theory posits that our reality may be a computer-generated simulation, suggesting that the universe, including our experiences and perceptions, is akin to a sophisticated virtual reality. This idea is often rooted in the concept that advanced civilizations could create simulations indistinguishable from reality. Potential proofs of this concept include:
- The anthropic principle - the universe appears to be finely tuned for the existence of life, with seemingly arbitrary constants and laws falling within a narrow range that allows for complex structures.
- Finite speed of light - the speed of light could be seen as a maximum processor speed, pointing towards a maximum rendering speed like a processor-throttle in computer science.
- Plank length the pixel of our reality (which solves Zeno's paradox)
- Quantum theory - looks like process optimization within a computer. Everything in a superposition until observed much like a computer game.
- Dark matter looks like a form of data compression.
