you don't need allot of computer power to simulate something in an exponentially bigger universe, and the simulation can use exponentially less computer power by simulating something over a longer length of time you wouldn't know the diference. You use your senses to perceive something externally but because you don't know weather the simulations laws of physically are close to the same as the "real universe" then you can never be certain. You cannot rule anything out or determine which possibility is more likely to be true therefor the odds that you are perceiving the outside universe not in someway different then you percieve it to be is one over infinite because that is one out of an infinite amount of possibilities of ways your senses could be manipulated in that moment. Thats what I define a simulation is.
also, what does p=np mean and what is non and polynomial space?
similar two this? two neurons interacting are just two neurons interacting and byitself doesn't create consciousness like balls colliding does not produce percievable data that the objects interacted. cause and effect by definition are two things interacting to create an effect by definition is incorrect.
please correct anything in this statement that you percieve to be logically incorrect. I am open minded
Your first paragraph simply is not correct. I am not interested in giving a theoretical computer science lecture on an internet forum but, as I said, a pretty good rundown can be found in the book titled Fabric of Reality.
Second paragraph:
Explained: P vs. NP
The most notorious problem in theoretical computer science remains open, but the attempts to solve it have led to profound insights.
