The universe is a computer

[pgp_protector]

If you think the universe is more than 100 years old, you know it can't be running on Windows because we would have experienced the blue screen of death already requiring a reboot back to the beginning.

If it was rebooted & the data recovered, would you really know the difference


When My Sim's Game crashes, the Sims in their world take up exactly from the last data save point.

This whole concept is very similar to the thread I started about the Simulation Hypothesis.

Thanks.

It's such a good interpretation and fits in so cleanly with both quantum physics and classical physics in a framework that makes it easy for me to understand that I really am amazed I only came across this a week ago or something.

It reminds me of Einstein asking the question "Do you really believe that if no one is looking, the moon isn't there?". And of course Einstein hated quantum mechanics because he couldn't visualise a framework that could explain what is going on in quantum mechanics. And that's because Einstein wasn't around to see the desktop, so he wasn't able to see how for example a computer game in a 3d world vectors the graphics as you're going along (sometimes this can be quite noticeable).

And Einstein even said that quantum mechanic ISN'T complete yet, because it hadn't yet had an interpretation that properly describes what is going on. I think if he was alive today he'd be on board with this, in fact he probably would have come up with this interpretation himself in the 1970s
