Great, thanks for the dose of existential dread.

Well, if we’re in a simulation, then any assumptions we have about definitions, limitations, they may not apply. So, we think storage needs ram, but outside our restricted simulation, it could be far different.

Like, I frequently ponder how did something come from nothing. But I know I’m making assumptions when I ask that question. It may not be linear, may not be either or, there’s something crucial im not seeing.

How would you know what physics runs the host universe? For all we know, things like ram limitations doesn’t even apply there

We would probably see more caching of parts of the universe that don’t typically observe. Given that our current observation can’t see this in current time, we don’t immediately notice.

The interesting bit would be to figure out what parts get cached, since we may not be the only sentient life.

Maybe the system would be configured with some odd laws that constantly shrink the size of the observable universe?

The server shuts down. Admin adds in few more sticks of ram and powers it on again.

The day is reset and we wake up again from the morning of that day where there was a RAM shortage.

son_named_bort ,

We download more RAM.

You get stuff like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_Winner and the same movie/media coming out over and over again

Mandela effect too

We are the RAM

Probably a mass removal of the poor - oh wait that’s already happening.

A semi related but enlightening (thought) experiment.

There is a theory that our universe isn’t actually 3D is actually a projection/simulation on the 2D surface of a black hole (aka the big bang). If this were the case, then the practical differences would be almost nonexistent. The exception is the planck length. This is the smallest length that is meaningful. If our universe is 3D, we are extremely far from being able to measure effects anywhere close to the planck length. If it is 2D however, that length appears FAR bigger. It wouldn’t be that far below what our current gravity wave detectors can see.

The effects of this would be similar to a simulation running near its limit. It would be the equivalent to floating point rounding errors.

This is why the Hubble telescope had mirror problems and James Webb was so delayed. The admins had to sneak delays into the simulation while they upgraded the hardware to render more of the universe.

Nomecks ,

Why do you think our admins wouldn’t use autoscale, when they’ve obviously built it into the simulation?

you know, they’re made out of meat?

Singing meat!

I’m more concerned with what happens when the hardware invariably fails…
