Their findings, published in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics, go beyond simply suggesting that we’re not living in a simulated world like The Matrix. They prove something far more profound: the universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm.

    Here’s my proof…a dust in your eyes. Why? Why would anyone simulate us and give us dust in our eyes? Viruses, I can accept. But dust is not contagious or alive. It just happens to screw with you personally and in particular. Just you. So therefore there’s no way we’re a simulation.

    Alright, come get me, I wanna see the mother ship!

      Eh, if the simulation were allowed to develop organically from the beginning, then it makes sense to me. If it has the fidelity for the subatomic particles comprising your eye then it has the fidelity for macroscopic particles getting in your eye.

      I see dust in my eye as a better argument against the existence of a benevolent creator deity, personally.

        Sure, either of those arguments. Both of them are incorrect. Not a simulation, no god. We just are.
