Our universe is most likely a computer simulation

126. Then there is no evidence of a simulation.

The concept doesn't rise above fiction. Yes, you could explain why you wouldn't find evidence, but if you don't find it in the first place, the hypothesis can't be serious.

Since every simulation that we know of runs on binary systems, we could then say that universe shows no evidence of a binary system. Therefore, we have no evidence of it being a simulation.

Let's say, you're playing the Sims, and you have a Sims physicist. Sooner or later, he's going to find the 0s and 1s. If it's possible to run a simulation any other way, we'd have find out first and see if anything in the universe resembles that. Otherwise, it's not even a testable hypothesis.

The universe runs on chaos theory and probabilities. A binary system is just a good way of recording and manipulating information. Natural events generated in the universe mostly bubble up from smaller to larger scale. Like the butterfly flapping its wings causes a hurricane in the other hemisphere three months later. Whereas simulations are generated from at a larger scale and imposed on a smaller scale. If they differ from a "real" universe, it would be that they are superficial. This implies, among other things, at some time probability will collapse and you reach a level that's utterly determined.

We definitely haven't found that in our universe.
