"The great thing about the human imagination is that it has no problem imagining contradictions."

ah yes, and science is always free of such contradiction. the author invests so much energy laughing at the simulation theory, only to conclude that he cannot disprove it? considering how much the author apparently hates philosophy, he managed to write a rather philosophical article.

"Or if we are, the universe simulating us has completely different physics from the one we live in"

i kind of feel like, with all due respect, no shit? why explore such profound philosophy within the constraints of science as we know it today?
