>>11138457The kind of simulation that is most likley is not one where we are being simulated purposfully. But just a general universe simulation where we are artificial beings created 'naturally' by the interactions of simulated matter.
Likewise the universe simulating us is also probably simulated, and so on.
Just an infinite recursions of scientists creating virtual universes to try and learn more about their own. The physics in each universe could be slightly simpler than the ones in the universe running it, but as we have nothing to compare how physics 'should' be there is no way of telling how much more complex the universe above us is, let alone the real top level 'real' universe.
Evidence supporting this could only be in the form of certain physical laws which seem convinient, or things which seem to really have no explanation tied with the lucky coincidence of 'being required for the universe to form at all'. These would be little things entered into the simulation to compensate for their inability to do a true perfect simulation. So they started with the rules of their universe as they could model them, saw things weren't working right, and invented some variables and jiggled them a bit to try and get it to look proper.
Given that any useful simulation of the entire universe made to try and learn of the universe should be faster than what it is trying to simulate, we would have to assume the physics of the simulating universe is much more complex, allowing for much more powerful computers, to simulate our dumbed down universe efficiently. This means our entire universe could be happening in the equivalent of hours or days, years at most, to the simulators. As each recursion would compress time this way, each level needs only to survive a short time to let each simulation experience the entirety of time, so hopefully that top level doesn't have any huge catastrophes eh :^)
