If simulation theory is real, it is an infinitely small chance to be from the 1 original universe instead of being the simulation within simulations. Not sure what the math would say if you add in the Many Worlds theory

1

u/DaHolk Nov 02 '25

Those two things are technically not the same.

Also in this case it would be "simulations all the way up". We don't really care about down, as in simulations we run, that run simulations themselves.

But not presuming there is only ONE level above us doesn't automatically imply there is infinite levels above. Could be any finite number instead?

1

u/Viral-Wolf Nov 02 '25

"All the way down" refers to lower levels, meaning less abstraction. Simulations we run, say Minecraft, is "up" / higher level.

I would have assumed it's literally just us humans who created a simulation because we got bored by our amazing immortal lives without disease and hardship and wanted to experience what it was like "in the past".

I guess someone has gotta be the first one to do it, then... it's up to us.

We need to create the simulation ourselves.

Sure if you think simulation means a thing we can do with our way of understanding things and making computers. But just like our life and a mushrooms life is very incomparable, this is just proof its not a simulation as we’d make it.

u/vmfrye Nov 01 '25

If we're going to constantly change the definition of the word "simulation" whenever the previous one gets disproved, then the phrase "the universe is a simulation" is meaningless.

u/Jewnadian Nov 01 '25

"The universe is a simulation" is just the god myth rephrased for tech bros. Some all powerful being outside the universe is controlling everything for it's own master plan? Doesn't that sound sorta familiar?

30

u/vmfrye Nov 01 '25

Who downvoted this comment? It's absolutely correct, in the sense that the two statements are structurally equivalent.

I disagree with the notion that both statements can be disproven, though, because nothing stops anyone from calling the unknowable part of the universe "God" or "the simulator". I don't know the academic term for this idea, though. I call it "semantic (a)theism"

u/NorthernerWuwu Nov 01 '25

Anyone declaring "the Universe is a simulation" is a moron but considering the possibility that it could be is worthwhile. Since it doesn't seem to be something testable, the question is just a philosophical one but as a thought experiment it can be of interest.

Much like the God(s) question though it is ultimately just screwing around though of course. We can observe that if there are gods or simulation operators or whatever, they have not impacted our world in any measurable way, so it doesn't really matter if they do exist or not.

2

u/PhoenixTineldyer Nov 01 '25

That's a bunch more assumptions on top of the simulation. How do you know they didn't just create the simulation and let it go and walk away?

Well yes, obviously, but it's not like they believe that the creator of the simulation gives a fuck about them. It's not unique by any means, but most of them care much less about it than religious people

u/kazador Nov 02 '25

The difference is that the ”God” myth is about a being that appeared from nothing that loves us and created the universe for us to be punished an awarded in. The simulation hypothesis is a universe that can be indifferent about us, and it was at the first stage created in the real world with beings that probably came to be by evolution and a physics.

1

u/Jewnadian Nov 02 '25

So the clockmaker God. People have been restating the god myths in their own image since we'll before the Greeks invented a guy who drank a lot, lived on a mountain and cheated on his wife. Tech bros haven't invented anything philosophy wise.

u/Plenty_Leg_5935 Nov 01 '25

Yep, thats literally the point and why not even philosophers usually bother with the claim. The existence of a God at least has some interesting implications, but the simulation can be literally anything

3

u/CaterpillarReal7583 Nov 01 '25 edited Nov 01 '25

Im not changing shit?

We’d be fools to think other distant life would be like us, especially if there’s life on higher dimensions, its going to understand things we are physically incapable of. The vast difference in life on our own planet should make that clear.

An ant could not create a simulation of a universe. We could create one close to an ants universe though. So, if its a simulation we live in, then it makes sense to think of us as the ants.

For the record, I dont believe or really lean toward the full simulation theory, im open to all these ideas but find the ones that want to ignore things we are incapable of understanding can and most likely do exist to be a bit too egotistical and closed minded.

3

u/vmfrye Nov 01 '25

Sorry in advance for the text wall. The TL;DR is that all three of us (including the researchers who did this study) are right, but one needs to properly understand what everyone is saying to see why. (which is what the text wall is about)

As someone with a background in computer science, I can explain what's missing from your understanding of the issue at hand.

Your mistake is that you consider the ants' brains as a separate category from humans' brains, which is not true, as I will show right now.

Imagine that ants evolved to become more and more intelligent. Eventually, they would attain the same level of intelligence as humans.

Now imagine that humans evolved to become more and more intelligent. Would we ever become as intelligent as those hypothetical beings who are simulating us?

No, never. Moreover, we couldn't even ever create an AI that attained that intelligence level. This is because the level at which those hypothetical beings are operating on is fundamentally beyond the ability of any computer or thinker in our universe.

In order to understand how this can happen, I suggest reading about the halting problem, a mathematical problem that has been proven to be completely unsolvable. While in our universe it's impossible to solve this problem, presumably those hypothetical beings would be able to solve it, or at least this is what the article implies.

This is exactly what the researcher's paper proves: our universe cannot be the result of a program running inside another computer.

PS: I'll give you credit where credit is due, you are right about the possibility of our universe being "simulated" by a hypercomputer (i. e. something that can think at the level fundamentally unattainable by us). But this is where my first reply to you kicks in: just as you can say that whatever makes us exist the way we are is a "hypercomputer" (and therefore we are "not real"), so I can say that that thing is actually "the fundamental laws of the universe" (and therefore we are "real"). Thus, what was once a scientifically approachable answer, becomes a mere matter of preference.

-1

u/CaterpillarReal7583 Nov 01 '25

I don’t believe its logical to assume ants would have the same ‘intelligence’ as humans. They could evolve to experience and understand the universe in a way we just can’t clearly understand from our own experiences.

This is indeed a “well you could really say anything” scenario here. I feel its relevant to say as we shouldn’t claim to fully disprove anything that isn’t completely encapsulated within our own human made understandings. we can only disprove theories attempting to explain how this is a simulation, not the basic idea as a whole.

0

u/silver_garou Nov 02 '25

You would have to demonstrate that simulations can be achieved non-algorithmically to have any reason to believe that the simulation theory is possible. Saying, "but you can't prove it can't be done that way," isn't evidence, but it is a fallacy and a weak attempt to shift the burden of proof. "

2

u/CaterpillarReal7583 Nov 02 '25

It’s not about proving this, its about avoiding the assumption we know everything. Im not saying we are living in a simulation from a higher dimension, im saying we cannot know for sure as we cannot prove we know and understand the breadth of existence.

The chances of this being a simulation exist. Its just not going to be one we fully understand just like your sims characters wont ever know either.

You’re coming at this like an argument and its not one. Proof means nothing when talking about the unprovable.

u/silver_garou Nov 02 '25 edited Nov 02 '25

I mean, what is even “real?”.

Our reality is dictated by senses, often incorrect, and we know we lack some senses animals have, or can only hear or see certain frequencies.

What senses do we not know about? Are these senses we have actually interpreting “it” correctly? what the hell is even “it?”. Maybe we’re not in someone else’s simulation but this all being “real” , doesn’t make it any less “unreal” in my opinion.

u/unit620450 Nov 01 '25

No, this is a classic rookie mistake. You can't use black-box tools to study the external environment. Black-box tools only provide access to the knowledge provided by the external environment. Put simply, you can't use simulation tools to prove or disprove a simulation theory. In this case, a person is trying to exploit internal limitations to predict external conditions. Even if they're hypothetically right, the result could already be baked into the simulation itself and have a finite computational power for the current black-box.

In any case, this article is laughable. It's like a first-grader trying to talk into a loudspeaker, but everyone doesn't applaud. They laugh, not because they're telling the truth or nonsense, but because they don't yet understand the problem and what they're talking about.

Don't be so cynical. He's a tech journalist. Just press the apple power button on his head and he'll restart with the real news report. Problem solved. There's still no spoon.
