New Discovery Challenges Everything We Thought About Reality

Physicists in Canada have mathematically demonstrated that the universe cannot be a computer simulation, showing that reality operates beyond the capabilities of any computational system.

“Any simulation is inherently algorithmic; it must follow programmed rules. But since the fundamental level of reality is based on non-algorithmic understanding, the universe cannot be, and could never be, a simulation,” said Dr Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor at UBC Okanagan.

The research team applied principles from quantum gravity and Gödel’s incompleteness theorem to demonstrate that physical reality encompasses truths that no algorithm can compute, thereby disproving the long-standing hypothesis that we might be living inside a simulated world. Their findings reveal that space and time emerge from a deeper informational framework that cannot be reproduced by any supercomputer, marking the first scientific proof that the “simulation theory” is mathematically impossible.
