In a paper published in the journal Science Advances, Zohar Ringel and Dmitry Kovrizhi show that constructing a computer simulation of a particular quantum phenomenon that occurs in metals is impossible – not just practically, but in principle.

 

They discovered that the complexity of the simulation increased exponentially with the number of particles being simulated.

Discovered? Eyes roll back in head. File under No $hit, Sherlock.

Elementary, my dear Wayneh...

 

Just read the article... because the link was broken this morning. But I found this fact to be rather interesting:

The researchers calculated that just storing information about a couple of hundred electrons would require a computer memory that would physically require more atoms than exist in the universe.

Perhaps, as one physicist once said, the only thing capable of simulating the universe is the universe itself.

It's almost like the universe has the smallest switches in the universe only beaten by a madman's imagination.

 

My question is how many hours (& how much money) did they waste trying to figure that out.
A.H.W.

Waste? I want to know for sure if I'm just a plaything of some super advanced D&D player (hopefully a female super-intelligent D&D game player).

According to Gödel, there are truths (and falsities) out there that can never be proved. I think this is one of them.

Or the strange quantum behaviour we find is merely the discontinuity between the clock pulses that drive the simulation of reality on the Great Omnipotent Digital computer in which we exist as software.

Actually, it requires... wait for it... only a couple of hundred electrons. Duh. Seems tautilogical to me.

It shows how the scope of our science of computing is pathetically inadequate as a model of true reality.

Each electron has two constants -- mass and charge -- and two variables -- spin and momentum. The interactions are complex, but solvable -- electrons do it successfully every day.

Just because our math is limited, doesn't mean the problem is unsolvable. It just means our math has not progressed to a point to solve it -- while the universe has figured it out all by itself.

Yes, I read the article, and I understand the arguments.

I wish it were that simple to create copies of an arbitrary unknown quantum state. Reality as a simulation is a cop-out to the fact some problems are insolvable in this universe. Electrons do it because they are quantum particles, our mathematics is not a quantum state, it's only a incomplete description of one.

 

Take an electron........any electron. The frequency, symmetry and location is all you need.

So far. There's a genius waiting in the wings -- or to be born -- who'll figure it out.

Nobel Prize kind of stuff.

That person already exists in the simulation universe theory. Do you really think she will let her little playthings breakout of the box by giving us that information?

Sure! Every game allows the player to level up. Why should this one be different?

I'm not a gamer but sure game levels that increase the physics reality within the simulation. Only the real players (female super-intelligent beings) of the simulation get player levels in the Universe game.
