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.

    We are not in a simulation. A particle is only able to hold exactly as much information as is necessary to describe it, and hence is irreducible.

    Any incomplete simulation, even to a tiny degree, leads to wildly inconsistent, and eventually incoherent conclusions.

    Either our universe is a simplified, and thus unreliable, simulation, destroying any long term usefulness to would-be simulators ; or it is simply not a simulation at all.
