Hi PF
I would like to ask, if it would be possible to simulate the whole universe from the beginning, with the following ingredients:
If this can be done, we would actually have created a virtual universe within the computer. And further this could mean, that it is possible to create a universe from a computer simulation, meaning that we could live in a virtual reality?
Is this all bollocks or could it actually be reality? I would like some opinions :)
I would like to ask, if it would be possible to simulate the whole universe from the beginning, with the following ingredients:
- A full theory of quantum gravity (LQG, CDT or whatever theory proves to be correct) coupled to matter- and other force-field (for example LQG coupled to a GUT)
- A powerful enough supercomputer (like Tianhe-1A, the "Jaguar" computer or perhaps even more powerful)
- The initial conditions of the universe
If this can be done, we would actually have created a virtual universe within the computer. And further this could mean, that it is possible to create a universe from a computer simulation, meaning that we could live in a virtual reality?
