> But you cannot devise an experiment which would give different outcomes if the universe is a simulation versus if it isn't.

I've already mentioned 5 times in this thread that the theory I'm talking about is of a simulation with very limited resources, but you seem to be ignoring this point.

Show that a particular phenomenon can't be simulated using extremely limited hardware (compared to the size of the universe) and you can falsify this theory.

I didn't ignore that, I mentionend the "limited resources" scenario with the 16GB example a few posts back.

Does this or does this not apply to a simulation with very limited resources (compared to what it would take to model all the atoms of the universe) or not, then?
