Double Slit Experiment
Physics' strangest experiment, simulation theory's strongest evidence.
The strangest result of quantum mechanics is that a particle behaves differently depending on whether we look at it. Switch between "Observe" and "Don't Observe" in the experiment below to see the difference yourself.
Wave Pattern
When not observed, particles behave like waves and create interference patterns. As if the universe doesn't render details when "nobody is looking." Just like unseen areas in a game.
Quantum Uncertainty = Lazy Loading
In quantum mechanics, particles don't have a definite state until observed. Just like how a video game doesn't render areas the camera can't see, the universe only generates details when "looked at." This is the most efficient way to save processing power.
On the evidence page →Quantum Entanglement = Shared Variable
Two particles, even billions of light-years apart, instantly affect each other. Einstein called this "spooky action at a distance." But in programming, this is simple: if two variables point to the same memory address, changing one changes the other. Distance is irrelevant.
On the evidence page →A game engine does not draw in detail what the camera cannot see. That the universe seems to make the same saving at the quantum scale is the most cited support for simulation theory.
Simulation A: Beat the System
The System learns your choices and seals its prediction before you tap. 24 layers, five experiments, a new experiment every day. Can you really be random?
