The idea that there was one real universe followed only by simulations strikes me as dubious. Serial universes would seem more likely.

Re: Are We Living in a Computer Simulation? Elon Musk Thinks So.
I've heard of the idea that the Universe is a computer simulation, but not your method of resolving the issue.Ashurean wrote: ↑August 20th, 2018, 2:38 am An easy way to determine that is by looking for the limitations of the simulation if we are in one, since the computer the simulation would run on could not simulate ad infinitum and is limited by the number of qubits (or other method of data transcription) allowed to it by its host universe. So just start following any irrational number's sequence of values, if you ever reach a sudden end, you know you're living in a simulation.
It makes sense.
Bravo!
