We live in something that is experimentally indistinguishable from an unbelievably computationally expensive universe… but there are whole disciplines of mathematics dedicated to discovering computationally easy ways to calculate results which are indistinguishable from unbelievably computationally expensive underlying mathematical models. If we can already do that, how much easier might it be for The Simulators?
Could anyone explain why this deserved multiple downvotes? Would a coupleexamples have helped? There’s now a heavily upvoted comment from several hours later making the same point I was, so presumably I’m not just being hit by disagreement confused with disapproval.
