My girlfriends father is a famous and very well-respected writer. (Wont say his name due to his request) he has written a few books on quantum mechanics, though experiments, and physics in general. I came across an article of his pertaining to the simulation hypothesis. For those of you who arent aware of the theory, it is the concept that our reality is a computer simulation created by a programmer(s). I asked him about this concept the other day, he essentially told me that he is almost certain we are living in a simulation. Seeing as how particles only exist when we observe or interact with them, he stated that this would make sense as a programmer would want to save space. Making our environment only visible to the products of the program is something a space conscious programmer would do. He continued by saying that a programmer would make sure that we do not escape the boundaries of the program. But also must conserve space. We can not travel at or faster than the speed of light and if we miraculously achieved that ability we would become so dense it would destroy us. Thus thwarting our attempt to escape our boundary but at the same time creating an setting where the boundaries are so impossible for us to cross, that it becomes seemingly infinite. Any thoughts or contributions on this concept? Forgive my spelling/grammar, i am typing this off of my phone
