Re: Is the universe a computer simulation?

Way too much effort for something I can think of myself (and have thought of, several times).

Yes, it is, and no, it is not.
You cannot prove either statement. As with all 'Reality is..' statements, you cannot gather relevant data; there is no 'observer' position where you can look over all of reality and what exists outside of it.

It is like having received a box in the mail with unspecifiable dimensions. Anything can be in it. Difference being that you have the option of opening the box (thus putting yourself in a position of 'observer', whereas you cannot do a similar thing with reality).

The point can be made that things in this reality can be a mirror image of things outside this reality.. but that is a tenuous argument at best.

Well, if it is one. Then take a page out of Picard's book and say "Computer, End hologram". :twisted:
