Well, it seems plausible that as Freeman Dyson suggested years ago, the more sophisticated our equipment becomes, the more likely we will uncover anomalies, then more we will modify our understanding of the cosmos. Could the universe be more favorable? Hell, yes, because otherwise we would not be attempting to make things better for ourselves, family, friends, pets, and so on. Is spacetime quantified? Well, Magic 8-Ball says, Yeah, but it only applies to gravity and not electromagnetism. https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.104.086024 So, if these fellows are correct, we have a Split Symmetry going on. If this conjecture is true, then we may as well say the universe is a simulation, but only part of it? Are physicists then walking off the map into the computer-land of the photonic? It would thus explain photons getting emitted as virtual particles.

I haven't read where the Math guy > Vopson in any case used the more recent Beckenstein Bound of 10^123? There are 6×10^80 Bits of Information in the Observable Universe https://www.universetoday.com/153035/there-are-6x1080-bits-of-information-in-the-observable-universe/ Since entropy is increasing, is the information that comprises reality, reducing? Is Dyson's big push simply a fade-out? Interesting idea, thank you. Of course it's all based on the assumption that the Bekenstein Bound actually exists, and that is based on the assumption that space and time are not only quantized (come in individual little chunks) but are quantized at one very specific level, and that is based on the assumption that quantum mechanics as we know it today is absolutely true which we know can't be the case because it can say nothing about gravity and there is exactly zero experimental evidence that spacetime is actually quantized. Recently on the Extropolis List somebody asked if it was physically possible for a universe to be better than this one, I said I didn't know but if there is a best of all possible worlds it was one in which the Bekenstein Bound was not the law of the land and thus an infinite number of calculations can be made in a finite amount of time by a computer of finite size.
