Could be the real life equivalent of a part of the plot of the Three-Body Problem (I've only seen the Tencent series). One of the mechanisms used in the exposition of this problem is a VR game within an planet with alien physics due to the orbital environment surrounding it, and the game's goal of understanding the physics and observed patterns. I think that's the best I can obfuscate it without fully spoiling the plot.

Oh they did adapt it to screens? How is it?

The show is centered around hard science so it can be a little difficult to follow for some, the series is around 30 episodes and it took a while to make some decent progress in the plot. I like it overall, but have a feeling that the Netflix version may not be able to match it, especially when trying to "westernize" it.

Oh there's a Netflix version coming out too? Splendid.

Not as good as the books, a bit too Chinese drama ish, but still very watchable
