Would it matter?

If science can one day make a convincing case for a multiverse, would there be any difference between that reality and innumerable simulated universes?

Would there be a difference between existing in a universe created by a divine being and one created by a species advanced enough to create a simulated universe populated with sentient beings?




There is the risk that unblinding coincides with the end of experimental value.


The question remains. Would that matter?


I think maybe they’re implying that if the experiment lacks value, funding for it will dry up and our simulated reality will get shut down. So it’s only the end of the universe as we know it. I’m sure that doesn’t matter…


Lack of curiosity is strong with this one.
