Like, we’ll probably find out that eating boogers actually makes you immune to select illnesses or something crazy like that.

    Why would an optimization make things more complicated? The point of optimizations in any simulation is to simplify the complexity of the computation. The entire reason why there is a multi-billionaire industry to research quantum computers is because they are exponentially more difficult to simulate than classical physics, so they are not practical to simulate on a classical computer. Seems weird to me that a simulator would “optimize” things by making them enormously more complex.

      Classical physics is the optimization. Kicking a ball is kicking a ball if you’re zoomed out far enough

        Do you even need quantum mechanics to make that argument, then? You’re basically saying weak emergence is evidence of being in a simulation because you can approximate nature much simpler when “zoomed out.” It seems like even if we did not have quantum mechanics you could still make that argument.

          Do you even realize you’re in an asklemmy post regarding hypothetical scientific studies (OP even referenced booger eating ffs). Way to kill the vibe
