They need a supercomputer to do it, and the simulation is only of an area a few femtometers across, which is really freakin&#8217; small. But, the simulation is of everything: particles, energy, space, time, the lot. This means that, fundamentally, the simulation cannot be distinguished from the real thing: if you measure the simulation, you&#8217;d get all the same results as if you were measuring a piece of real space the same size.]]>Sat, 13 Oct 2012 22:35:06 -0400<![CDATA[Erika Johnsen]]>https://hotair.com/headlines/2012/10/13/is-the-universe-just-a-computer-simulation-n96568
