Re:Your yearly dose of is-the-universe-a-simulation by wongarsu on Wednesday March 22, 2017 @11:38AM (#13931759)
Only if 'I' originated in a universe where this data exists. If my original me only exists in a simulation where a lot of this data is faked (distant galaxies not actually simulated in detail, but their approximate effects on us calculated with a healthy dose of randomness, quantum-level effects only calculated when actually observed at that level, etc.), then the necessary complexity of any simulation that contains me drops dramatically.
