Summary
An international research team has shown that our universe is not a simulation. They used physics and logic to determine that reality cannot be fully explained through computer simulations. Their findings are based on the concept of quantum gravity and mathematical theories that highlight the limitations of computation.
Key Facts
- Researchers have concluded that the universe is not a simulation using a combination of logic and physics.
- The study was led by physicist professor Mir Faizal from the University of British Columbia.
- The concept of quantum gravity, which connects gravity and quantum mechanics, was key to their findings.
- The team argued that the fabric of space and time arises from a deeper realm of mathematical information.
- Mathematician Kurt Gödel’s incompleteness theorem was central to showing limits in computational descriptions of reality.
- The theorem suggests there are truths that cannot be proven within a structured set of rules or algorithms.
- These findings imply that a complete description of the universe cannot rely solely on computation.
