Our universe is most likely a computer simulation

119. Not more likely, more numerous

An apartment complex may have no cockroaches. If, however, it does have any cockroaches then it very likely has a lot more cockroaches than apartments.

It is possible that such simulation is impossible in all universes. (If there is only one universe then our universe is "all universes.&quot And if it is impossible everywhere then no species will ever do it.

If, however, it is possible and something that beings develop the computing power to do then they will run many simulations. Few technological species will stop at one light bulb, one atom bomb, one iphone. If you have computers that can do it then you'll run simulations of all sorts of universes with different conditions, different laws.

And there would be a million species developing the same technology. Every technologically advanced species in our universe (of which there are surely millions if not billions, since even only one per every ten galaxies would result in a huge number) has developed the atomic bomb, theoretically if not building one. Everyone has the periodic table of elements. Everyone knows about evolution, though few of them would have DNA, etc.

If simulating universes to such high resolution is doable a bunch of folks will do it just to do it.

It only takes a few species to make simulated universes the hot toy for Christmas to get into some big numbers.
