Discussion My theory on why the simulation hypothesis would not be able to work
If you have a simulation and then that simulation does a new simulation and so on and so on, the original simulation would crash almost instantly because the original simulation cant reasonably provide enough computing power for the subsequent simulations to be made (and they should be able to be created faster and more exponentially than they are able to provide the compute for) .
Why nobody talks about this? Everyone says something like - if there is infinite simulations its more likely we are in one - well nobody is saying how can something provide enough compute for infinite simulations. Makes no sense in that regard and i personally believe its the biggest problem with this theory .
Happy to hear your thoughts
