EXCERPT: [...] Hossenfelder considers a scenario in which the universe is composed of bits, like a computer, relying on ordered time-series encoded by an algorithm. Such a thing could not be done using classical bits, as there would be no quantum effects.

But, even if you were to attempt to build the universe from quantum bits (qubits), there ‘are good reasons to believe it’s not possible,' the physicist argues, as no one has yet succeeded in recovering general relativity and the standard model of particle physics from qubits....

An obvious update to the simulation program performed by the simulators. For accurate or unbiased results, best not to have a simulation thinking it's a simulation. Rolleyes
