It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization's supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically proven this isn't just unlikely—it's impossible.

Their findings, published in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics, go beyond simply suggesting that we’re not living in a simulated world like The Matrix. They prove something far more profound: the universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm.

    Saying the universe is a computer/software/projection doesn’t necessarily mean intent by anyone they are just words to describe what we are theorizing is happening but a simulation is something done by someone it implies a high concept creationism so I was asking for clarification.
