It's sort of like minecraft and the simulator was seeded with the random
number 42.

This is a shallow rehash analysis in a way, at least for those of us who

Rosedale was the founder of SecondLife. I frequently worked with the
physics engine in SL and I can confirm the marble / cup QM tunneling
analogy.
Some choice quotes:

Cool video - the idea that reality is just a projected hologram from a 2
dimensional surface at the boundaries of space.

Yes, but you are thinking "linear, binary computer". We are only
scratching the surface of what can be accomplished in a multi-state
Reality is a very hard concept to understand. But there is one thing that
is sure, whatever it is, what you now think is reality is just an illusion.

Of course if you want to get stupid about it, if only what we see is
rendered in any detail then maybe the microscopic world and atoms stop
existing when we aren't looking, and it is all just coarse simulation.

Well, there's an argument that this is the solution Fermi's Paradox. That
is, where are the aliens? Perhaps there aren't any, because the simulator
can only really do earth and that's it.
It's like the star trek holodeck, you walk outside the deck and you vanish.

The aether, cold fusion, antigravity, free energy is all crazy talk.
But maybe reality is a simulation because some movies were made depicting
this, well that's totally sensible.
Since that isn't a threat to the status quo.
Of course the pre-pre-pre-pre matrix version of this were the Gnostics.

If we go by Bostrom’s argument, probability dictates that the next universe
will be a dress rehearsal too (bugs included), ala 13th floor.
The interesting thing about Bostrom’s is that it also applies to the idea that
