It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization's supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically proven this isn't just unlikely—it's impossible.

Their findings, published in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics, go beyond simply suggesting that we’re not living in a simulated world like The Matrix. They prove something far more profound: the universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm.

    I won’t pretend to understand every word of that, but what I did gleen is totally fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

    Anyone want to direct a dafty toward a blog or channel or something where they discuss this stuff in terms that dodos like myself can better understand?
