PCGamer has today published an article called “A new physics paper suggests that we may all be living in the ultimate 4X strategy game after all“. Most people here have probably watched the Matrix, a similar movie, read a book in this vein, etc: We could be all living in a simulation.
Apparently a new physics paper was published, which puts together a theory that if we are living in a simulation, then parts of the simulation could be added or deleted, that new underlying hardware could be added, etc. This would allow to explain why sometimes information is missing, such as the hypothesized “dark matter”, which is not proven, but necessary to explain our current cosmos. Apparently there is itself not much more to this physics paper, and neither is to the PCGamer article.
The latter mentions Civ6 though:
But is the universe really a simulation or a computer game, played by an errant mega-being or two in another dimension? If it’s the latter, my money’s on it being a 4X strategy game, like an ultimate version of Civilization 6.
If you’re interested, then read the article here, and tell us here if you’re thinking you’re ruled by Monty.
If you’re not interested, then let us know how much you think this is probably junk ;).
