Proof That We Are Not Living in a Simulation?
Question
I came across a fascinating study, and they claim they have “managed to prove mathematically” the assertion that this world is not a simulation.

That is the link to the article.
What is the Rabbi’s opinion?
Answer
It is indeed an interesting study. I read a fairly infantile popular article reporting on it (and apparently some of that childishness is also present in the academic article), but since so many people relate seriously to this foolish question, I will probably write a column about it soon.
Is there a column planned on the simulation topic and how one can know that we are not in one?
