  • It doesn’t necessarily have to be more complex, if it is infinite.

    Just like there are exactly as many rational numbers between 0 and 1 as there are in total. The same works for real numbers.

    We don’t know if our universe is infinite. There is reason to believe that spacetime might be discrete. And we don’t know if the universe is infinite, or if the observable universe is all there is, and we just happen to be approximately in the middle of it.

    But if the universe is dense, and if the technology was advanced enough, simulating an equally complex should be possible.


  • The programmers of that simulation could be cheating a bit. For example, they could approximate the movement of particles by using wave fields, and only if the particles are observed, would it actually simulate individual particles.

    It would cause some weird effects that shouldn’t be there. For example a light spot in the middle of circular shadows. But most players don’t want 100% perfection. They want to be able to run the game on their device.







  • They aren’t going to manufacture there. Chip manufacturing happens almost exclusively in Taiwan. That new building is just an office to design those chips.

    A lot of maths goes into designing computer chips. You need an army of highly trained mathematicians and engineers for that.

    And Israel is a really rich country that gets a lot of gifts and “investments” from people who want to show they aren’t antisemitic. They invest a lot of that money into the education of their citizens.

    Israel’s universities are some of the best in the world. While US universities are on a steep downhill.
