How many billions of people have we got? It seems like the universe is very good at scaling.
And even if it crashes, why would that mean it disappears? If your computer crashes, does it typically stop working forever, or can you fix it?
For all we know, maybe it already crashes a lot and there is just no way for us to know about it.
If your data is in memory only, crashing will revert to the latest save, which could be forever ago.
If that were true, and it was just a simple large telescope using lenses, would anything have to actually be rendered or would simple 2D images displayed in the telescope results suffice? Also assumes no pre-rendering.
this mf out here thinking God is gonna pay for 4k textures on everything, even the skybox!
Assuming there’s no one else in that part of the universe looking at it from closer up, you could probably play around with fudging some super-duper low-resolution (compared to being there) LoDs on that part of the sky to make it look and behave good enough.
The part that makes me really laugh is that this mouth breather was replying to Hank Green. Like, Tyson is an overbearing know it all, so I can see people being into trying to “debate” him so that can use his arrogance to justify their dumb beliefs. But Green is a very ground level science communicator who can always bring these kinds of idiotic arguments down to earth and destroy them with plain logic.
It’s okay as long as Moore’s Law holds, they can just keep waiting for better computer to compensate
Imagine thinking the Truman Show is an example of cosmological theory crafting.
No we just get rebooted, in which case the side effects are Mandela effects and those points in history where we are all aware something definitely changed or glitched out overnight.

This is why the James Webb telescope was delayed
Crypto bros stealing all three consumer GPUs :‘’(
Long before they crash we will lag.
Things already lags if it’s moving near the max speed supported by the engine.
Of course. But since we are inside the simulation how would we know. Unless some systems lag more than others.
Nuh un I saw that episode of Rick and Morty and if the simulation crashes we all get out chance to escape.
Peace among worlds!
That’s only if you’re a person from outside that was put into the simulation. If we’re all just simulated beings we’d never know.
My man!
We would need Moriarty to help get us out!

What I can appreciate about this is that it requires other people to be just real as yourself in the simulation
potential states are affected by observation.
Nothing about running out of resources though.
