In the realm of philosophical thought experiments, few concepts have captured the imagination quite like the simulation hypothesis. The idea that our reality might be a computer simulation has been explored in popular culture, debated by philosophers, and even considered by physicists. However, until recently, these discussions have largely been speculative, lacking a rigorous mathematical foundation. A groundbreaking paper by David H. Wolpert titled "Implications of computer science theory for the simulation hypothesis" seeks to change that, providing a formal framework rooted in computer science theory to analyze the simulation hypothesis and its implications.
